What's Scroll Animation Libraries?

Scroll animation libraries enhance user experience by triggering animations or effects based on the user's scroll position. These libraries help developers create dynamic and engaging web pages that respond to user interactions. They can be used for lazy loading images, revealing elements as they come into view, or triggering animations at specific scroll points, thereby improving the overall visual appeal and interactivity of a website.

  }
})
