## What it is
A small, dependency-free JavaScript library that adds pull-to-refresh functionality to web apps without requiring any markup changes. It is highly customizable via an options API and weighs under 8KB.

## Use cases
- add pull-to-refresh to a mobile web app
- implement pull to refresh in a PWA
- refresh page content with a swipe gesture on touch devices
- add native-like pull-to-refresh to a responsive website
- customize pull-to-refresh threshold and animation in JavaScript

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, dependency-free pull-to-refresh solution
- you cannot modify your existing HTML markup
- you need fine-grained control over distances, triggers, and styling

## When to avoid
- you are building a native mobile app rather than a web app
- you need pull-to-refresh only on desktop with no touch input
- you use a framework that already bundles a pull-to-refresh component

- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, mobile-development
