## What it is
Sly is a JavaScript library for one-directional scrolling with item-based navigation support, built on jQuery. It provides mouse wheel, scrollbar, pages bar, buttons, drag/touch navigation, and automated cycling with an optimized requestAnimationFrame rendering engine.

## Use cases
- add horizontal scrolling with item navigation to a webpage
- build a carousel with scrollbar and page navigation
- enable touch and mouse dragging for scrollable content lists
- implement automated cycling through items or pages
- create scrollable galleries with navigation buttons

## When to choose
- you need item-based one-directional scrolling with rich navigation options
- you already use jQuery and want a lightweight scrolling library
- you need broad legacy browser compatibility

## When to avoid
- you want a modern dependency-free scrolling solution
- you need vertical bidirectional or complex scroll layouts
- the project requires actively maintained software

- artifact type: library
