Products that do what TopSpace – Scroll above the top line in Emacs does

This is an Emacs minor mode I made in my spare time this past year. It lets you scroll above the top line to vertically center top text in Emacs. I made it out of my own necessity for the feature and it is very useful when using Emacs in full-screen with tall/large monitors. As monitors have been getting larger for many years now, I'm actually amazed that this kind of feature isn't more available in text editors or other software like internet browsers etc. Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions!
