original concept here on the "forge & form" site 👏 scroll to the bottom 👇 p.s hadn't seen this one on here so couldn't quote it

Here's a similar example I coded up

This would be cool as a custom select

That is so sick 👀

can we get an additional level of items? like a 2 tiered mindmap in scrollable style.

that would be neat, a two-tiered set would work as well by nesting the "stickiness" would need some sentences to build out with that structure 🤔

Future CSS Tip! 🍏 You can create this Apple-style photo scroller by combining CSS scroll-driven animations and CSS scroll-snap 😍 Peep those changing captions 👀 No JS! img { animation: highlight both linear; animation-timeline: view(inline); 👈 Horizontal animation-range: cover 0% cover 50%; 👈 Finish } @ keyframes highlight { 50% { translate: 0 0; scale: var(--starting-scale); 👈 props opacity: var(--starting-opacity); 👈 } 100% { translate: 0 0; scale: 1; opacity: 1; } } Without the animation support, you get a standard unordered list containing some s 🤙 How do we swap the captions though? The "trick" is to use position: absolute on the figcaption and animate their opacity based on the ViewTimeline of their parent list item 😎 figcaption { animation: show both linear; animation-timeline: --list-item; } @ keyframes show { 0%, 45%, 55%, 100% { opacity: 0; } 50% { opacity: 1; } } li { view-timeline-name: --list-item; view-timeline-axis: inline; 👈 important! } The parent of the scroll track uses position: relative so all the captions sit in the middle even though they are in the right place for the markup 🙌 The last bit is the scroll-snap 🤙 Not much to it at all. Wrap the list and make it scrollable. Then add scroll-snap-type .wrapper { scroll-snap-type: x mandatory; overflow-x: scroll; } Then make sure each list item has scroll-snap-align set on it li { scroll-snap-align: center; } That's it! Pretty cool demo to put together and see how to do this stuff with these APIs 🤓 A lot of cool little tricks to pick up for writing your CSS! ⭐️ CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Tip! 🚥 You can create these trending expanding scroll indicators with scroll-driven animations and flex 🤙 .indicator { animation: grow; animation-range: contain calc(50% - var(--size)...; animation-timeline: var(--card); } @​keyframes grow { 50% { flex: 3; }} What's the trick? Put the indicators in a container using flex layout and set a width larger than the number of indicators 😉 .indicators { aspect-ratio: 7 / 1; display: flex; } Importantly, set no gap 🤏 To mimic the gap set a transparent border on each indicator and set the background using padding-box .indicator { background: linear-gradient(#​fff, #​fff) padding-box; border-radius: 50px; border: 4px solid transparent; } Now for the animation. You want to create a view-timeline for each card that moves across 🤙 li:nth-of-type(1) { view-timeline: --one inline; } li:nth-of-type(2) { view-timeline: --two inline; } Make sure they use the inline axis too! The trick is hoisting these view-timeline so the indicators can use them with timeline-scope 👀 .track { timeline-scope: --one, --two, ...; } All that's left is for you to create the animation piece using some calc with the card size ⚡️ .indicator { --size: calc(var(--card-width) * 0.9); animation: grow both linear; animation-range: contain calc(50% - var(--size)) contain calc(50% + var(--size)); } .indicator:nth-of-type(1) { animation-timeline: --one; } .indicator:nth-of-type(2) { animation-timeline: --two; } @​keyframes grow { 50% { flex: 3; }} And there you have it, responsive scroll indicators using CSS scroll-driven animations 😎 Sprinkle a little JavaScript to make them clickable and scroll the the right card ✨ const shift = (event) => { if (event​.target.tagName === "BUTTON") { const index = [...event.target.parentNode.children].indexOf(event​.target); const item = document.querySelector(`li:nth-of-type(${index + 1})`); item.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth", inline: "center" }); } }; As always, any questions or suggestions, let me know. I've put a JavaScript fallback in to use GSAP in browsers that don't have scroll-driven animations 🫶 CodePen.IO link below! 👇
