+## Highlights
 
 - **Zero dependencies** — uses native `ResizeObserver` and `IntersectionObserver`
-- **Virtualization** — renders only visible items, handles 10,000+ items smoothly
-- **Responsive** — auto columns, fixed count, or breakpoint-based
-- **SSR-compatible** — CSS columns fallback with hydration support
+- **Virtualization** — renders only visible items, handles **10,000+ items** smoothly
+- **Responsive** — auto columns, fixed count, named breakpoints, or custom pixel breakpoints
+- **SSR-compatible** — CSS columns fallback with hydration support for Next.js
 - **TypeScript-first** — full type definitions included
-- **Dual API** — vanilla `MasonryGrid` class + React components
+- **Dual API** — vanilla `MasonryGrid` class + React components (`<Masonry>`, `<VirtualMasonry>`, `useMasonryGrid`)
+- **Animations** — built-in entry animations with configurable duration, easing, and offset
+- **Infinite scroll** — built-in `onReachEnd` callback
+- **Tree-shakeable** — ESM + CommonJS, `sideEffects: false`

+## Why smart-masonry-grid?
+
+Most masonry libraries are **abandoned**, **React-only**, or **missing critical features**. Here's how `smart-masonry-grid` compares:
+
+| Feature | smart-masonry-grid | masonry-layout | react-masonry-css | masonic | @mui/lab Masonry |
+|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
+| Zero dependencies | **Yes** | No | Yes | No | No (heavy) |
+| Virtualization (10K+ items) | **Yes** | No | No | Yes | No |
+| SSR / Next.js support | **Yes** | No | No | Partial | Buggy |
+| Vanilla JS + React | **Yes** | Vanilla only | React only | React only | React only |
+| Built-in animations | **Yes** | No | No | No | No |
+| Built-in infinite scroll | **Yes** | No | No | Yes | No |
+| TypeScript (built-in) | **Yes** | No (@types) | Partial | Yes | Yes |
+| Responsive breakpoints | **4 modes** | No | Basic | No | Basic |
+| Actively maintained | **Yes** | Barely | No (4yr+) | Partial | Yes |
+
+> **No other library** combines zero-dependency virtualization, SSR support, and multi-framework support in one package.
