I think with this and :has I'll be pretty happy for a while. If I get a :stuck for position: sticky I will dance in the street.

Yeah i tried it too to animate some buttons, works fine on nearly square items, as soon as you do more rectangle shapes, the animation seems to slow down on the corners and the shorts edges... Any tips on how to bypass that ? gg anyway !

CSS Trick! 🤙 You can create gradient borders on translucent elements using mask-clip and mask-composite with a pseudo-element 🔥 .gradient-border::after { mask-clip: padding-box, border-box; mask-composite: intersect; mask: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), linear-gradient(white, white); } It's the same "Transparent border trick" from before. But, now you apply it to a pseudo-element 😎 The trick is to create a pseudo-element with a gradient background and then mask it so we only see the part we want, the border ✨ mask-clip defines the area affected by a mask. Similar to how you can define background-size. Using padding-box and border-box constrains the two masks. mask-composite is the magic part ✨ It defines a compositing operation for stacked mask layers. Using intersect means that the parts that overlap get replaced. And this seems to work in all browsers 🙌 As for the rest of the styles... – Make sure you set pointer-events: none on the pseudo-element – Make sure it fills the parent element. You can use position: absolute and inset: 0 – Make sure the background fills the space including the border-width. You can use calc to achieve that: --bg-size: calc(100% + (2px * var(--border))); background: var(--gradient) center center / var(--bg-size) var(--bg-size); That's it! 🚀 Gradient borders on translucent elements. You can set all the backdrop-filter: blur() you like! 😅 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Tip! 🤙 You can use mask-composite and some JavaScript to create this pointer proximity following glow border ✨ .glow { mask-composite: intersect; mask-clip: padding-box, border-box; mask: linear-gradient(#0000, #0000), conic-gradient(#0000 0deg, #​fff, #0000 45deg); } The trick is to mask a background-image with a combination of mask layers. mask-composite: intersect; means the mask used will be the intersection of the layers 🔥 use source-in, xor; in browsers that don't support intersect; In this demo, you can use pseudoelements and rely on scoped custom properties to do a lot of the heavy lifting for you 🙌 Once you've masked the background, you need to update the starting angle of the conic-gradient on pointermove 👆 You can work that out by getting the center point of each card and then calculating the angle between that and the pointer with Math.atan2 🤓 let ANGLE = Math.atan2( event?.y - CARD_CENTER[1], event?.x - CARD_CENTER[0] ) * 180 / Math.PI ANGLE = ANGLE < 0 ? ANGLE + 360 : ANGLE; CARD.​style.setProperty('--start', ANGLE + 90) You plug that into your conic-gradient mask as a custom property accounting for --spread ⚡️ conic-gradient(from calc((var(--angle) - (var(--spread) * 0.5)) * 1deg), #000 0deg, #​fff, #0000 calc(var(--spread) * 1deg)); To get the blur, you apply a blur to the glow container on each card 🤙 .glows { filter: blur(calc(var(--blur) * 1px); } That's it! Layers of masks that are clipped and composited before being blurred 😎 The added trick is to fade each one in when the pointer is in the defined proximity of the card. For example, don't show unless within 100px of a card. You can see that in the video. Check out the JavaScript code for that 🫶 Couldn't resist making this one 😁 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Tip! ✨ It's 2024 and you have a new way to make animated borders 🚀 .glow::after { offset-path: rect(0 100% 100% 0 round var(--radius)); animation: loop; } @​keyframes loop { to { offset-distance: 100%; }} Using the offset-* properties you can animate elements along the perimeter of others 😍 The rect() value gained support in Safari 17.2 🙌 To start, you create an element and put it inside your main element. For example, you put a span inside the button 🤙 Click me! Make the element fill its parent with absolute positioning and inset [data-glow] { position: absolute; inset: 0; } Now the good part, you use a pseudoelement on that element and define an offset-path [data-glow]::after { content: ""; offset-path: rect(0 auto auto 0 round var(--radius)); animation: loop 2.6s infinite linear; } With the rect value, you are saying the path fills the parent container: top: 0 right: auto || 100% bottom: auto || 100% left: 0 Then you can use round to make sure the path uses the same radius as whatever the parent has The @​keyframes animation merely animates the offset-distance of that pseudoelement to 100% @​keyframes loop { to { offset-distance: 100%; }} You can see this more clearly in the video 🫶 The offset-* properties also include an offset-anchor property. This allows you to dictate which point of the element follows the path. For example: anchor-offset: 100% 50%; This means that the "right, center" of the element will follow the perimeter of the parent element 🤙 Lastly, the visuals 🎨 For color, you can use a gradient such as a linear gradient to fill the pseudo-element. [data-glow]::after { background: radial-gradient( circle at right, hsl(320 90% 100%), transparent 50% ); } Then clip away everything so you only have the border and can still have translucent backgrounds, etc. Use a mask with mask-composite ✨ A little transparent border trick: [data-glow] { border: 2px solid transparent; mask: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), linear-gradient(white, white); mask-clip: padding-box, border-box; mask-composite: intersect; } Bit of a long one. Hope you find it useful 🙏 CodePen.IO link below 👇

CSS Trick! ⚡️ You can use scroll-driven animation with background-attachment to create a dynamic glowing card scroller without JS 🔥 section { animation:vibe; animation-timeline:--list; } @​keyframes vibe { to{--hue:320;}} .glow {background: hsl(var(--hue) 80% 50%);} Here's how! 🤙 You can use the background-attachment trick used in other glow card demos 😎 article { background-attachment: fixed; } The difference here is that you aren't going to update the fixed background position with your pointer this time. It can remain fixed. The magic part is that as you scroll, the background will leave the card that's leaving and enter the card that's entering ✨ For the extra background glow, you can use a fixed pseudo element on the list container itself 💪 Once that's in place, you're only task is to change the color of the background as you scroll 🤔 Create a custom property declaration for the --hue @​property --base { inherits: true; syntax: ' '; initial-value: 0; } Then create an animation that updates this value @​keyframes accent { to { --hue: 320; }} The last piece is hooking it up to scroll and there is a little trick in here 👀 First, you need an inline scroll-timeline on the list ul { scroll-timeline: --list inline; } Then you can use timeline-scope to hoist that scroll-timeline up so a parent can use it. You then animate the custom property on this element and let the value cascade down to the places that need it 🔥 section { timeline-scope: --list; animation: accent both linear; animation-timeline: --list; } For example, the glow uses the --hue this way [data-glow] { background-image: radial-gradient( 150px 150px at 50% 50%, hsl(var(--hue) 100% 70% / 0.25), transparent ); } Lastly, scroll-snap is optional of course but plays nice with the scroll-driven animation demos ✨ The key for that is ul { scroll-snap-type: x mandatory; } li { scroll-snap-align: center; } That's it! Pretty fun trick to play with! 🤓 Any questions, let me know! Should we add it to the video walkthrough list? CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Tip! 🍬 You can create a CSS-only sticky CTA using position: sticky or scroll-driven animations 🤙 .cta { position: sticky; margin-top: 110vh; bottom: 2rem; /* 👈 Stick! */ } This is one way 👀 This first way relies on you setting a layout on the body and putting the CTA in a zero-space part of the layout body { display: grid; grid-template-columns: auto 0; } The children of the body are an element with your content and then the CTA. You could also use display:flex too. .content { flex: 1 0 100%; } .cta { place-self: end; } As you scroll the body, the CTA comes into view and sticks in position 🙌 That's one way. If you want to take it further and do something like flip between showing or not, maybe scale it up, or add some special easing, etc. an animation is another way 📜 First, change the styles for your CTA. Note the translate property that's powered by a custom property .cta { position: fixed; bottom: 2rem; right: 2rem; translate: 0 calc(20vh - (var(--show) * 20vh)); transition: translate 0.875s var(--elastic); } Next you need a custom property that you're going to animate @​property --show { inherits: true; initial-value: 0; syntax: ' '; } Lastly, you animate this value on the body. As the property value changes, the value will trickle down to the CTA @​supports (animation-timeline: scroll()) { body { animation: show-cta both steps(1); animation-timeline: scroll(root); animation-range: 0 10vh; } @​keyframes show-cta { to { --show: 1; } } } Using @​supports you can use this as a progressive enhancement. If scroll-driven animations are supported, use them. Otherwise fallback to using position: sticky 🤙 That's it! As always, any questions or requests, hit me up! 🙏 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Tip! 💫 You can create this responsive perspective warp animation with 3D CSS and container queries ✨ (Video reveals trick 👀) .warp { container-type: size; perspective: 100px; transform-style: preserve-3d; resize: both; overflow: hidden; } Couple of tricks in this one 🤓 The main idea is to create a tunnel (an open-ended cube). On each side of the tunnel, use linear-gradient to create the grid lines ✨ .side { background: linear-gradient(#​fff 0 1px, transparent 1px 5%) 50% 0 / 5% 5%, linear-gradient(90deg, #​fff 0 1px, transparent 1px 5%) 50% 50% / 5% 5%; } To position each side, you rotate on the x-axis by 90deg. Each side would become invisible at this point. So you give the scene perspective 😉 .warp__side--top { width: 100cqi; height: 100cqmax; transform-origin: 50% 0%; transform: rotateX(-90deg); } The cool part here is that you want to make each side the same height. But the container is responsive. So you can use a container query and make sure each side is 100cqmax tall 🫶 Then the "beams". Each side contains "beams". They have different colors, sizes, and positions, and move at different speeds ⚡️ We can control that through scoped custom properties. .beam { width: 5%; position: absolute; top: 0; left: calc(var(--x, 0) * 5%); aspect-ratio: 1 / 2; background: linear-gradient( hsl(var(--hue) 80% 60%), transparent ); translate: 0 100%; animation: warp calc(var(--speed, 0) * 1s) calc(var(--delay, 0) * -1s) infinite linear; } The magic here is though that a beam's animation is as basic as translating it from the top of the side to the bottom. And you can get that distance with a container query again 🔥 @​keyframes warp { 0% { translate: -50% 100cqmax; } 100% { translate: -50% -100%; } } And that is pretty much it!

CSS Tip! 📜 You can use scroll-driven animations to progressively enhance collapsing a floating call to action 🤏 .cta { animation: shrink; animation-timeline: scroll(); animation-range: 0 100px; } @​keyframes shrink { to { width: 48px; } } That's the gist of it. Use the body scroll position with animation-timeline: scroll(). Define the animation-range as when you have scrolled 100px. There's a little more though 🤓 That would "scrub" the width animation. Ideally, you want to trigger that animation. You could animate a custom property with steps() timing and use that to define the width ✨ @​property --scrub { syntax: ' '; inherits: true; initial-value: 0; } body { animation: scrub both steps(1, end); animation-timeline: scroll(); animation-range: 0 100px; } Then transition the --scrub property on the CTA and use it for the width 🤙 .cta { transition: --scrub 0.2s; width: calc(48px + (120px * (1 - (var(--scrub) / 100)))); } Other animations are a matter of preference and timing. For example, you could then make the hand wave, scale down the size, and then slide a gradient across 😉 They have the same structure and technique as the original concept. Waving the hand? 👋 Run it twice, offset the transform-origin. .hand { animation: wave both linear 2; animation-timeline: scroll(); animation-range: 30vh 50vh; transform-origin: 65% 75%; } @​keyframes wave { 50% { rotate: 20deg; } } How's it progressively enhanced? Wrap everything in a @​supports query and a @​media query. If there isn't support, users still get a good experience. It's a floating action button that's circular and already collapsed 🤙 @​supports(animation-timeline: scroll()) { @​media(prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) {...} } Definitely have a play with the code. Amazing what we're going to be able to do with CSS alone! 🔥 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! 👇

CSS Tip! 🤯 You can create a CSS-only version of this balance slider using a scroll animation on the underlying input[type=range] 🚀 ::-webkit-slider-thumb { view-timeline: --thumb inline; } Scroll animation driven by the slider thumb animates a number between the "min" and "max" of the range 😅 @​property --value { inherits: true; initial-value: 0; syntax: ' '; } @​keyframes sync { to { --value: 100; }} Tie that up to the contain animation-range ⚡️ .control { animation: sync both linear reverse; animation-timeline: --thumb; animation-range: contain; } Hoist the view timeline so all the parts of the control can use it! .control { timeline-scope: --thumb; } Use that value in a counter which is used for the labels. Create a low and a high for each side 😇 .control__label { counter-reset: low var(--value) high calc(100 - var(--value)); } .control__label::before { content: "COFFEE " counter(low) "%"; } .control__label::after { content: counter(high) "% MILK"; } That's the magic of updating the label values ✨ For the big track, it's a fake track. You can make use of the same --value property and do some calc() to work out the width of each part. .control__track::before { width: calc(var(--value) * 1% - 0.5rem); background: var(--coffee); border-radius: 4px; transition: width 0.1s; } The width leaves a little gap for the indicator piece 🤙 The color calculation for --coffee isn't too wild but again you can use the same --value .control__track { --coffee: hsl(24 74% calc( 24% + (30% * ((100 - var(--value, 0)) / 100)) / 1 ) / 0.4); } Now for the last piece. Making the track change height. You could set up another custom property and animate its value using the --thumb timeline too 🔥 @​property --shift { initial-value: 0; inherits: true; syntax: ' '; } @​keyframes shift { 0%, 31%, 61%, 100% { --shift: 0; } 32%, 60% { --shift: 1; } } Then use that --shift to update the translation of the label and height of the track 🤓 .label { transform: translateY(calc(var(--shift) * 50%)); transition: transform var(--speed) var(--timing); } Cool part here is that you can use the control to work out the @​keyframes percentages 😅 Oh. And the timing for that little bounce? Use the linear() function 😎 :root { --timing: linear( 0, 0.5007 7.21%, 0.7803 12.29%, 0.8883 14.93%, 0.9724 17.63%, 1.0343 20.44%, 1.0754 23.44%, 1.0898 25.22%, 1.0984 27.11%, 1.1014 29.15%, 1.0989 31.4%, 1.0854 35.23%, 1.0196 48.86%, 1.0043 54.06%, 0.9956 59.6%, 0.9925 68.11%, 1 ); } Should probably do a video on this one. Lots of little custom property tricks for sure! 💯 It's not too far off the range slider with the tooltip that came up previously As always, any questions, let me know! Also, this one only works in Chrome currently ✅🥲 This one's a bit rocket science ha 🚀 CodePen.IO link below! 👇
