 - 🕹️ Programmatic scrolling with `scroll`
 - ♾️ Infinite scroll support with `onLoadMore`
 
-## scroll: Programmatic Scrolling
+## Requirements
 
-You can now programmatically scroll to any item in the list using the `scroll` method. This is useful for chat apps, jump-to-item navigation, and more. You can check the usage in `src/routes/tests/scroll`. Thank you for the feature request!
-
-### Usage Example
-
-```svelte
-<script lang="ts">
-    import SvelteVirtualList from '@humanspeak/svelte-virtual-list'
-    let listRef
-    const items = Array.from({ length: 10000 }, (_, i) => ({ id: i, text: `Item ${i}` }))
-
-    function goToItem5000() {
-        // Scroll to item 5000 with smooth scrolling and auto alignment
-        listRef.scroll({ index: 5000, smoothScroll: true, align: 'auto' })
-    }
-</script>
-
-<button on:click={goToItem5000}> Scroll to item 5000 </button>
-<SvelteVirtualList {items} bind:this={listRef}>
-    {#snippet renderItem(item)}
-        <div>{item.text}</div>
-    {/snippet}
-</SvelteVirtualList>
-```
-
-### API
-
-- `scroll(options: { index: number; smoothScroll?: boolean; shouldThrowOnBounds?: boolean; align?: 'auto' | 'top' | 'bottom' | 'nearest' })`
-    - `index`: The item index to scroll to (0-based)
-    - `smoothScroll`: If true, uses smooth scrolling (default: true)
-    - `shouldThrowOnBounds`: If true, throws if index is out of bounds (default: true)
-    - `align`: Where to align the item in the viewport:
-        - `'auto'` (default): Only scroll if not visible, align to top or bottom as appropriate
-        - `'top'`: Always align to the top
-        - `'bottom'`: Always align to the bottom
-        - `'nearest'`: Scroll as little as possible to bring the item into view (like native scrollIntoView({ block: 'nearest' }))
-
-#### Usage Examples
-
-```svelte
-<button on:click={() => listRef.scroll({ index: 5000, align: 'nearest' })}>
-    Scroll to item 5000 (nearest)
-</button>
-```
-
-## Infinite Scroll
-
-Load more data automatically as users scroll near the end of the list. Perfect for paginated APIs, infinite feeds, and chat applications.
-
-```svelte
-<script lang="ts">
-    import SvelteVirtualList from '@humanspeak/svelte-virtual-list'
-
-    let items = $state([...initialItems])
-    let hasMore = $state(true)
-
-    async function loadMore() {
-        const newItems = await fetchMoreItems()
-        items = [...items, ...newItems]
-        if (newItems.length === 0) {
-            hasMore = false
-        }
-    }
-</script>
-
-<SvelteVirtualList {items} onLoadMore={loadMore} loadMoreThreshold={20} {hasMore}>
-    {#snippet renderItem(item)}
-        <div>{item.text}</div>
-    {/snippet}
-</SvelteVirtualList>
-```
-

-| `onLoadMore`        | `() => void \| Promise<void>` | -       | Callback when more data is needed (supports async)   |
-| `loadMoreThreshold` | `number`                      | `20`    | Number of items from the end to trigger `onLoadMore` |
-| `hasMore`           | `boolean`                     | `true`  | Set to `false` when all data has been loaded         |
-
-### Infinite Scroll Behavior
-
-- Triggers when scrolling near the end of the list
-- Automatically triggers on mount if initial items are below threshold
-- Prevents concurrent `onLoadMore` calls while loading
-- Works with both sync and async callbacks
-- Supports both `topToBottom` and `bottomToTop` modes

+- Automatically triggers on mount if initial items are below threshold
+- Prevents concurrent `onLoadMore` calls while loading
+- Works with both sync and async callbacks
+- Supports both `topToBottom` and `bottomToTop` modes

+- Dynamic height calculations happen automatically
+- Resize observers handle container/content changes
