Ah not yet sadly - https://github.com/glide-browser/glide/discussions/3
I personally prefer non-smooth scrolling as it feels faster.

What Hacker News says
2 sourcesah yeah sorry about that, the API docs aren't quite complete yet.
I'd recommend just looking at the glide.d.ts[0], it should be pretty readable (I hope).
Yes the TS API supports it as well with the `selector` property:
```
glide.hints.show({ selector: "..." });
```
> Also, would you consider making it return a promise instead of taking a callback? I think that would be more ergonomic.
The reason it doesn't return a Promise directly is because the hints that are generated are not static, try scrolling while hints are active and you'll see them refresh.
So the return type would have to be something else to work well with this functionality imo.
