## What it is
A deprecated JavaScript polyfill for CSS position: sticky, designed to work with the fixed-fixed library for a safer position: fixed fallback in older browsers. It is no longer maintained since native browser support for position: sticky is now widespread.

## Use cases
- polyfill position sticky in older browsers
- make headers or sidebars stick while scrolling
- support sticky elements in legacy browsers without native support
- fallback positioning for sticky elements in old IE or Safari

## When to choose
- you must support very old browsers lacking native position: sticky
- maintaining a legacy codebase that already depends on it

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use native position: sticky or Stickybits instead
- you need support for thead/tfoot sticky elements or parent overflow scenarios
- you want an actively maintained solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, animation
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: polyfill, position-sticky, deprecated, javascript, css
