## What it is
A React library providing <Sticky> and <StickyContainer> components that keep UI elements affixed to the viewport while scrolling. It computes positions and passes style and state props to a render callback.

## Use cases
- make a navbar stick to the top of the page while scrolling
- create a sticky sidebar in a two-column layout
- keep a header visible during scroll in a React app
- stack multiple sticky elements on top of each other
- limit sticky behavior to a container's bounds

## When to choose
- you need sticky elements in older browsers lacking CSS position: sticky support, such as IE11
- you need programmatic control over sticky state and positioning in React
- you're already on React 15.3+ with a legacy codebase

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the library is no longer maintained
- your target browsers support CSS position: sticky, which is faster and simpler
- you need active support, bug fixes, or compatibility with the latest React versions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: react, sticky-elements, scroll-positioning, unmaintained, nodejs, javascript
