## What it is
A tiny (3kb, zero-dependency) React component for list virtualization that renders only visible items, supporting variable heights/widths, sticky items, and scrolling to index. It works for both vertical and horizontal lists.

## Use cases
- render large lists of thousands of rows in react without lag
- virtualize a list with variable row heights
- scroll to a specific item index in a long list
- build a horizontal virtualized list in react
- improve performance of infinite scrolling lists
- render millions of items in a react app

## When to choose
- you need a very small, dependency-free virtualization library for React
- you need variable item sizes or horizontal lists
- you want a simple drop-in component rather than a full virtualization suite

## When to avoid
- you need grids, tables, or masonry layouts, not just lists
- you need active maintenance or modern React 18+ features
- you need windowing outside of React

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: frontend, web-development, performance
- platform: browser
- tags: react, virtualization, virtual-scroll, windowing, list-rendering, typescript, web-server, nodejs
