It is possible to open new buffer and have SPC do the same scrolling
and RET or other keys to return to previous buffer. It is more user
friendly.

I have made package to build such buffers:

GNU Emacs package: rcd-dashboard.el -- Tool to build Emacs dashboards:
https://gnu.support/gnu-emacs/packages/GNU-Emacs-package-rcd-dashboard-el-Tool-to-build-Emacs-dashboards-76668.html

and similar applicatio for Org Export is free of blocking screen:

GNU Emacs package: rcd-org-export.el -- use Org to export Org:
https://gnu.support/gnu-emacs/packages/GNU-Emacs-package-rcd-org-export-el-use-Org-to-export-Org-76272.html
