const boost = Math.abs(velocity * 0.005);
const targetScale = boost + 1;

stopTimeout = setTimeout(() => {

// Initialize Accelerating Globe on Scroll
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {

Step 2: Add custom CSS
Custom CSS in Webflow
Curious about where to put custom CSS in Webflow? Ilja explains it in the below video:
CSS
Implementation
Globe
Use [data-accelerating-globe]
to initialize the globe instance and scope all child selectors to this element.
Circle
Use [data-accelerating-globe-circle]
on each front ring to enter the mirrored animation. Min of 4 per side.
