I am working on a personal project and i use scroll-snap in this project
but for some reason the scroll snap sometimes overshoots or lands at an awkward position between 2 parts of the page

after countless amounts of time searching for a solution I have given up and landed here
I hope atleast one of you is able to help me
It appears your problem is that you're applying
scroll-snap-align: start;to everydivwithinbodyand so when you scroll it is snapping to each div in your page. Whereas you only want to be applying it to its first child of thebodyor in your case each section of your page.So all I have done in the example below is changed
body divtobody > divin your css. You can see more information on the greater than sign in css here: What does the ">" (greater-than sign) CSS selector mean?
