## What it is
A React component library that provides fully customizable scrollbars with native browser scrolling behavior. It supports auto-hide, auto-height, universal (client and server) rendering, and 60fps scrolling via requestAnimationFrame.

## Use cases
- replace default browser scrollbars with custom styled ones in a react app
- add auto-hiding scrollbars to a scrollable container
- customize scrollbar thumb and track appearance in react
- get smooth 60fps scrolling in a react component
- use custom scrollbars with server-side rendering
- hide scrollbars on mobile and use native scrolling instead

## When to choose
- you need pixel-level control over scrollbar styling in a React app
- you want native scrolling performance with custom scrollbar visuals
- you need SSR-compatible custom scrollbars

## When to avoid
- your project is not React-based
- you need a maintained library with active development - the project is in maintenance mode
- default browser scrollbars are acceptable for your design

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: react, scrollbars, custom-scroll, ssr-compatible, nodejs, javascript
