Potiah

Potiah (pronounced /pot'jʌɦ/, means train in Ukrainian) is a thin Vue.js wrapper for precious Locomotive Scroll 🚂.

"It utilizes native Vue features such as components and composables to give maximum control over LocomotiveScroll API to developer and make it easier to integrate it into a Vue app."
