## What it is
A standalone JavaScript library that drives parallax and scroll-based animations by updating CSS variables according to scroll position. It is framework independent, works on mobile and desktop, and lets you animate any CSS property via custom properties or JS callbacks.

## Use cases
- add parallax scrolling effects to a website
- animate elements based on scroll position
- build Apple-style scroll animations
- create multi-layer parallax scenes
- animate CSS properties with scroll-driven CSS variables
- add scroll effects that work on mobile and desktop

## When to choose
- you want lightweight, framework-independent scroll animations
- you prefer driving animations with CSS variables instead of JS DOM manipulation
- you need smooth parallax performance on mobile and desktop

## When to avoid
- you need a full scroll-animation timeline library with rich easing and scene orchestration
- your target browsers lack CSS custom properties support
- you want scroll-triggered animations rather than scroll-linked ones

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: frontend, web-development, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: parallax, scroll-animations, css-variables, framework-independent, scrolling
