Today I saw this React hook (see photo) get shared on birdsite. It enables one to “automatically scroll down when new messages arrive in a chat”.

While it might work, you could — and should — use this little bit of CSS instead:

```
.log {
scroll-snap-type: y proximity;
align-content: end;
}
.log::after {
display: block;
content: "";
scroll-snap-align: end;
}
```

“… remains snapped to the bottom …unless the user has scrolled away from that edge” — https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scroll-snap/#example-d0a2d86f
