What is skrollr?
skrollr is a standalone JavaScript library for creating parallax scrolling and scroll-driven animations on websites. It enables developers to animate CSS properties and HTML attributes based on scroll position using simple data attributes in HTML, eliminating the need for complex JavaScript code. The library works on both desktop and mobile devices, providing a lightweight solution for interactive scrolling effects.
Frontend developers and designers who want to add scroll-based animations and parallax effects to websites without relying on jQuery or heavy frameworks. It's ideal for those who prefer a declarative, CSS-like approach to animations.
Developers choose skrollr for its minimal footprint (about 12k minified), ease of use with plain HTML/CSS, and robust support for both desktop and mobile scrolling. Its unique data-attribute syntax keeps animations tightly coupled with elements, improving maintainability compared to JavaScript-driven alternatives.
