## What it is
A React library for creating scrollytelling (scroll-driven) animations, built on top of GSAP ScrollTrigger. It provides composable components like Root, Animation, Waypoint, and Parallax that abstract GSAP setup, cleanup, and timeline positioning for React apps.

## Use cases
- add scroll-driven animations to a react website
- create parallax effects while scrolling
- animate elements at specific scroll progress points
- build image sequence animations tied to scroll
- use gsap scrolltrigger without manual useEffect cleanup
- make scroll animations compatible with react server components

## When to choose
- building a React or Next.js site with scroll-based storytelling animations
- you want declarative, component-based GSAP ScrollTrigger animations
- you need parallax or image-sequence scroll effects with sensible defaults

## When to avoid
- non-React projects (Vue, Svelte, vanilla JS)
- you need full low-level control over GSAP timelines
- simple one-off animations where GSAP directly is enough

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
