Description

Hi,

Could you add https://tanstack.com/virtual support, at least optionally?

By being maintained by the lib itself, it would help with potential upgrades / breaking changes, while providing the benefits of it.

Possibly allowing it to be enabled by a prop.

And this virtual library seems to be the better one around, currently.

Thanks.

Contributor guide

Research direction
