## What it is
SuperScrollorama is a jQuery plugin for creating scroll-driven animations on web pages, built on top of the GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP). It is no longer under active development and has been replaced by ScrollMagic.js.

## Use cases
- animate elements as the user scrolls down a page
- create parallax scrolling effects with jQuery
- trigger tween animations at scroll positions
- build scroll-based storytelling web pages
- add pinning and scrubbing effects to sections

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy jQuery site that already uses SuperScrollorama
- studying the predecessor of ScrollMagic for historical reference

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - use ScrollMagic instead
- modern frameworks like React or Vue where GSAP ScrollTrigger is a better fit
- projects needing ongoing support or bug fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: animation
- domain: web-development, frontend
