## What it is
Blossom Carousel is a lightweight TypeScript carousel library built on native browser scrolling, adding physics-based drag support for pointer devices. It ships framework components for React, Vue, Svelte, and Web Components, and loads zero JavaScript on touch devices.

## Use cases
- add a draggable image carousel to a website
- build a scroll-snap slider with next/previous and dots navigation
- create an accessible carousel using native browser scrolling
- add drag support to a horizontal scroll container for mouse users
- make an infinite looping carousel in React or Vue
- implement a lightweight carousel with zero JS on mobile

## When to choose
- you want native scroll performance and accessibility instead of a JS-replaced scroller
- you need framework components for React, Vue, Svelte, or Web Components
- you want to style carousels with CSS scroll-snap and scroll-driven animations
- bundle size matters and touch devices should load no carousel JS

## When to avoid
- you need complex non-scroll-based carousel layouts like 3D covers or custom transforms
- you require mature infinite/cyclical scrolling, which is still experimental
- you need a full-featured slider with autoplay, lazy loading, and lightbox built in
