Scroll Velocity Detection | Unleash the power of Scroll-Driven Animations (9/10)
In this ninth episode of “Unleash the Power of Scroll-Driven Animations”, show host Bramus goes full experimental and uses Scroll-Driven Animations to detect the active scroll speed and the directionality of scroll.
Detecting this allows you to style an element based on whether the user is scrolling (or not scrolling), the direction they are scrolling in, and the speed they are scrolling with … and this all using only CSS.
