Description
I built react-kino because I wanted Apple-style scroll experiences in React without pulling in GSAP (33KB for ScrollTrigger alone).The core scroll engine is under 1KB gzipped. It uses CSS position: sticky with a spacer div for pinning — same technique as ScrollTrigger but with zero dependencies.12 declarative components: Scene, Reveal, Parallax, Counter, TextReveal, CompareSlider, VideoScroll, HorizontalScroll, Progress, Marquee, StickyHeader.SSR-safe, respects prefers-reduced-motion, works with Next.js App Router.Demo: https://react-kino.dev GitHub: https://github.com/btahir/react-kino npm: npm install react-kino

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
