A pure JavaScript plugin for creating smart, high-performance sticky sidebars that stay visible while scrolling. It works with sidebars taller or shorter than the viewport, integrates a resize sensor, and optionally works as a jQuery/Zepto plugin.

Use cases

• make a sidebar stick while scrolling
• keep a table of contents visible on long pages
• handle a sticky sidebar taller than the viewport
• avoid scroll jank with a fixed sidebar
• add sticky sidebar to a jQuery site
• recalculate sidebar position on container resize

When to choose

• you need a dependency-free, performant sticky sidebar in vanilla JS
• your sidebar may be taller or shorter than the viewport
• you want jQuery/Zepto integration
• you need resize-aware sidebar recalculation

When to avoid

• you use a modern CSS framework where position: sticky suffices
• you need a React/Vue component rather than a DOM plugin
• you need active development and frequent updates
