We’ve heard all the reasons to not use smooth scroll. It feels hacky. It’s inaccessible. It’s not performant. It’s over-engineered. And historically, those were all true. But we like to imagine things as they could be, then build them. So, why should you use smooth scroll?

Create more immersive interfaces

Unlock the creative potential and impact of your web experiences. Smoothing the scroll pulls users into the flow of the experience that feels so substantial that they forget they’re navigating a web page.

Normalize all your user inputs

Give all your users the same (dope) experience whether they’re using trackpads, mouse wheels, or otherwise. With smooth scroll, you control how silky, heavy, or responsive the experience should be — no matter the input. Magic!

Make your animations flawless

Synchronization with native scroll is not reliable. Those jumps and delays with scroll-linked animations are caused by multi-threading, where modern browsers run animations/effects asynchronously with the scroll. Smooth scroll fixes this.
