The dots are much more a visual cue than a means of navigation.

I understand what you're describing to be their purpose. But the first thing I tried to do was click on them, and got confused/frustrated when they didn't do anything. This tells me their purpose is not in line with what I (and possibly others) expected.

It's just a demo lol

And what we're saying is that it's a bad demo. Demos are supposed to impress you enough to want to use the real thing. Your demo confused me and (apparently) a handful of other folks.

Instead of literally laughing off feedback and pretending there aren't any problems with your site, you may want to think a bit more critically about the presentation of your javascript plugin.

While it is just a demo, it's unusable unless you're on a mobile device.

If you're on a desktop, you're basically just sitting there watching it autoplay.

Then why does my mouse turn into a cursor when I hover over them?
