Lenis Smooth Scrolling

Lenis is an open source javascript library which also has the most beautiful website. Lenis is used for smoothing the user's scroll experience, and keeping it consisten between different devices. It is normally used together with something like GSAP ScrollTrigger.

How is this useful for a webcomic? For a vertical scroll webcomic, especially one that relies on scroll animations (see Scroll Theory --link), the smoothness of the scroll is very important, as well as making it feel consistent across devices. When you scroll on a mobile app like Webtoon, or even social media like instagram, you'll notice the scrolling is very smooth. The scroll doesn't immediately stop when you lift your finger, instead it eases out for a smooth feeling. Compare this to most websites on a computer with mouse, when you stop scrolling, it stops with no easing . So if you want to make a desktop website for your webcomic, you may want use a scroll smoother like Lenis so your desktop site feels as smooth as mobile. This is even more important if you're using ScrollTrigger animations with scrubbing, because a smoother scroll means smoother animations
