## What it is
A lightweight React library providing an InfiniteScroll component and a useInfiniteScroll hook for loading more content as the user scrolls. It is IntersectionObserver-based, TypeScript-first, has zero runtime dependencies, and supports window scroll, fixed-height containers, pull-to-refresh, and inverse (chat) scrolling.

## Use cases
- implement infinite scroll in a react app
- lazy-load more items as user scrolls a feed
- add pagination without page numbers
- build a chat with inverse scrolling
- add pull-to-refresh to a react list
- infinite scroll inside a fixed-height scrollable container

## When to choose
- you need a small (~4 kB), dependency-free infinite scroll solution for React 17-19
- you want both a ready-made component with loader/end messages and a headless hook
- you need pull-to-refresh or chat-style inverse scrolling out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need virtualized rendering for very large lists (use react-window or react-virtualized)
- your project is not React-based
- you need cursor-based pagination UI beyond simple next-page loading
