Love messin' with these UI patterns 🤙 li:hover { --active: 1; } li img { position: fixed; left: calc(var(--x) * 1px); top: calc(var(--y) * 1px); opacity: var(--active, 0); } Pass the --x/y in on pointermove for the list ⭐️

CSS Tip! ⭐️ You can use mix-blend-mode with scoped custom properties to create this inverted :hover effect 🤙 button > span { left: calc(var(--x, 0) * 1px); top: calc(var(--y, 0) * 1px); mix-blend-mode: difference; 👈 } The cool trick is that using mix-blend-mode acts like a color inverter which works well with monochromatic controls 😍 Saves defining the :hover colors, etc. It works it out for you! As for how to move that spot around? A teeny bit of JavaScript 🤏 const UPDATE = ({target, x, y }) => { const bounds = target.getBoundingClientRect() target.style.setProperty('--x', x - bounds.left) target.style.setProperty('--y', y - bounds.top) } const BTNS = document.querySelectorAll('button') BTNS.forEach(BTN => BTN.addEventListener('pointermove', UPDATE)) On :hover you can use a scoped custom property to change the size of the spot button:is(:hover, :focus-visible) { --active: 1; } button span { transform: translate(-50%, -50%) scale(calc(var(--active, 0) * 3); transition: transform 0.25s; } But, what about the bouncy easy? You can use linear() where supported to create a bouncy transition ✨ @supports (transition-timing-function: linear(0, 1)) { button:is(:hover, :focus-visible) span { transition-duration: 0.5s; transition-timing-function: linear( 0, 0.5007 7.21%, 0.7803 12.29%, ... ); } } That's it!

CSS Trick 🎞️ You can create an infinite marquee/carousel animation without duplicate items 🤙 li { --destination: calc(var(--idx) * -100%); } @keyframes slide { to { translate: var(--destination) 0;}} Animate the items, not the list 😎 Here's the next ! 👇 The main trick here is animating the items and not the list. You can lean into custom properties to work out the origin and destination of an item. Inline some custom properties on the list and the items. Then use these to calculate the origin and the destination for each item in the list ⭐️ li { --origin: calc((var(--count) - var(--index)) * 100%); --destination: calc((var(--index) + 1) * -100%); } The last piece is hooking up the animation li { --duration: calc(var(--speed) * 1s); --delay: calc( (var(--duration) / var(--count)) * var(--index, 0) ); animation: slide var(--duration) calc(var(--delay) - (var(--count) * 0.5s)) infinite linear; } The important part here is using those custom properties to define and calculate the animation properties for the items in the list 🤙 It's hard to cover everyone's use case in one demo 😅 But we try 🙏 As always, any requests, suggestions, questions, etc. Hit me up! 🤙 CodePen.IO link below 👇 p.s Can anyone recommend a decent lavalier microphone so I can record these better on the road 😭

CSS Trick ⚡️ (˗ˏˋ rogie ˎˊ˗ challenge edition 🤙) You can create this secret code reveal with only CSS using :has() and trig functions 🔥 .digit::hover + .digit, .digit:has(+ .digit:hover) { --active: var(--lerp-1); } :root { --lerp-1: calc(sin(50deg)); } .digit { scale: calc(var(--active) + 0.5); } There are a couple of moving parts. The first thing we can do is set up a scale. :root { --lerp-0: 1; /* === sin(90deg) */ --lerp-1: calc(sin(50deg)); --lerp-2: calc(sin(45deg)); --lerp-3: calc(sin(35deg)); --lerp-4: calc(sin(25deg)); --lerp-5: calc(sin(15deg)); } The digit styles define scale and blur. They also dictate the transition duration .digit { transition: scale calc(((1 - var(--active, 0)) + 0.2) * 1s); } When a digit is hovered, then you can set the --active custom property based on the digit position 🤙 The digit that is hovered. .digit:hover { --active: var(--lerp-0); } And the digit on either side of that hovered digit .digit:is(:hover, :focus-visible) + .digit, .digit:has(+ .digit:is(:hover, :focus-visible)) { --active: var(--lerp-1); } We can select the previous sibling using :has() and the next sibling with the sibling combinator (+) And that's it! ⭐️ That's how you create these hover scale interactions with CSS 🙌 We're jus' waiting on Firefox for :has() support. When that lands, it'll likely break the internet 😅 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Trick! 🎃 You can create a wavey border for elements by layering masks 🎭 Used to create this ghost! 👻 Check the video for an exploding view 🫶 .👻 { --size: 20px; mask: radial-gradient(var(--size) at bottom, transparent 97%, #000), radial-gradient(var(--size) at 25% 50%, #000 97%, transparent); mask-repeat: repeat-x; mask-size: calc(2 * var(--size)) 100%, calc(4 * var(--size)) calc(2 * var(--size)); mask-position: 50% calc(100% - var(--size)), calc(50% - var(--size)) 99%; } That code looks kinda scary! 👻 This is one way you could do things. Check the video again or explode in the demo. One mask cuts out circles from the bottom of the element. The other adds overlaid circles back. And that overlap creates the wavey line you want for the ghost 🤙 Using a custom property you can write once and not have to touch again. Update the custom property to update the wave size as shown in the video 🎬 The last piece of the puzzle is animating the mask-position to create that animation @ keyframes flow { to { mask-position: calc(50% + (var(--size) * 4)) calc(100% - var(--size)), calc((50% - var(--size)) + (var(--size) * 4)) 99%; } } If you play with the demo, you may find some Easter eggs!

CSS Trick 🧲 You can create magnetic links with the power of custom properties and some JavaScript 💪 a { translate: calc(clamp(-1, var(--x), 1) * var(--pad-x)) ...; transition: translate var(--s, 1s) var(--ease, var(--elastic)); } a:hover { --s: 0s; } The trick here is to pad out the list items wrapping your links and use that as a translation limit 🛑 Start by using some JavaScript to calculate a value between -1 and 1 for both the x/y axis on pointermove for each list item, not the link! 🔗 If your pointer was at the center of the item, you'd get [0,0]. If it was in the top right, you'd get [1,-1] ☝️ It's worth checking out the JavaScript snippet to see how the mapping function works. Essentially, you create a function that when given a value between two bounds, will give you a mapped value back 🤙 const mapX = mapRange( item.offsetWidth * -0.5, item.offsetWidth * 0.5, 1, -1 ) Then, on pointermove, you plug the pointer position in to get the value back out and pass that into your CSS const x = mapX(item.centerX - event.x) document.documentElement.style.setProperty(--x, x) When the pointer leaves the list item, you make sure to reset these values back to 0 ✨ Once CSS has your values, it's the trick of updating the translation of each part You know that in each axis, you only want to translate the link by the padding amount li a { translate: calc(clamp(-1, var(--x), 1) * var(--pad-x)) calc(clamp(-1, var(--y), 1) * var(--pad-y)); transition: translate var(--speed, 1s) var(--ease, var(--elastic)); } This will translate the link within the list item by the desired amount. The cool part here is that you can set an offset for the text inside the link and have that move at a different rate ⭐️ By only updating the --pad-x/y custom properties for the inside the link, you can control how much it moves nav a span { --pad-x: 0.25rem; --pad-y: 0.25rem; } And the last piece, how do you update the behavior for transition speeds? And so it springs back like that? Again, use custom properties ✨ a:hover { --s: 0s; } a { transition: translate var(--s, 1s) var(--ease, var(--elastic)); } By default, a link will use --elastic easing via linear() and have a transition-duration of 1s. When a link is hovered that speed becomes 0s because you want the link to magnetise to your pointer. How about that little gap between when your pointer enters the item but hasn't hovered the link? Set a different transition so it transitions to being hovered 🫶 nav li:hover a { --ease: ease-out; --speed: 0.1s; } That's kinda it! 🙌 Use JavaScript (~40 loc) to get the information and then let CSS do all the lifting for you 💪 Any questions or suggestions, let me know 🙏 If you want a walkthrough video, also let me know please 🙏 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 create this magnetic :hover effect with CSS anchor positioning, :has, and zero JS 🔥 article { anchor-name: --develop; } ul:has(li:hover) { --anchor: --develop; } ul::after { inset: anchor(var(--anchor) top) anchor(var(--anchor) right) ... ; } How do you keep it clean when entering/exiting the list? Use transition-delay ⭐️ ul:has(li:hover) { --active: 1; } ul::after { opacity: var(--active, 0); transition: opacity 0.2s, inset 0.2s 0.2s; } ul:hover::after { transition: opacity 0.2s 0.2s, inset 0.2s; } This is a cool trick you can use. Delay the opacity on enter and then delay the position on exit. That way you don't get a weird effect on enter/exit 🙏 This one's a "Future" CSS tip 🔮 But, the demo will work in all browsers in some way. The idea is to progressively enhance it. 1. No JavaScript and no Anchor Positioning? Highlight on hover ✏️ 2. No Anchor Positioning? Use JavaScript with a single event listener to update the inset values using elementFromPoint and .closest 🫶 3. If there is Anchor Positioning support, use that and don't fire the JavaScript. You can check with CSS.supports('anchor-name: --anchor') ✨ That's it! CodePen.IO link below! 👇

You can use :has() to count the number of tabs in the container: .tabs:has(input:nth-of-type(3)) { --count: 3; } .tabs:has(input:nth-of-type(4)) { --count: 4; } Using the cascade, the last valid :has() gives you the number of tabs 🫶 Once you know the number of tabs, you know how to size the indicator: .tabs::after { content: ""; position: absolute; height: 100%; width: calc(100% / var(--count)); } It's a pseudoelement that uses --count to determine its size 📏 The next :has() trick is determining which tab is active or :checked as it's an input [type=radio] .tabs:has(:checked:nth-of-type(2)) { --active: 1; } .tabs:has(:checked:nth-of-type(3)) { --active: 2; } You can use a zero-indexed translation here. If the second input is :checked, set --active: 1, then translate the pseudoelement on the tabs to that position 👉 .tabs::after { translate: calc(var(--active, 0) * 100%) 0; } The last rendering trick is using mix-blend-mode 👀 The tabs have a black background-color, the pseudoelement is white, and the label text is white. When you use mix-blend-mode: difference on the pseudoelement it will give this effect that the text transitions from white to black sliding across 😎 .tabs::after { color: hsl(0 0% 100%); mix-blend-mode: difference; } You can totally mix up the colors here though and go with a different effect. The mechanics of how you can use CSS :has() is the main point here 🙏 As always, any questions, suggestions, etc. let me know CodePen.IO link below! 👇 (There's even a Tailwind CSS play for this one too 👀)

CSS Tip! 🎠 You can create a responsive infinite marquee animation with container queries and no duplicate items 🤙 li{ animation: slide; } @keyframes slide { to { translate: 0% calc(var(--i) * -100%);}} The trick is animating the items, not the list 😎 More tricks 👇 To get this one working, you need to animate the items and not the list (Watch the video first?). Each item needs to know its row index (--i) in the list and the parent needs to know how many rows are in the list: ul { --count: 12; } li:nth-of-type(1), li:nth-of-type(2) { --i: 0; } li:nth-of-type(3), li:nth-of-type(4) { --i: 1; } Once you have that, translate each item based on its row index in the list li { translate: 0% calc((var(--count) - var(--i)) * 100%); } Now for the animation. The key here is that each row has an animation-delay calculated from its index (--i). That number is offset to make it negative so the animation start is offset ✨ ul { --duration: 10s; } li { --delay: calc((var(--duration) / var(--count)) * (var(--i) - 8)); animation: slide var(--duration) var(--delay) infinite linear; } Make sure to wrap that animation in: @media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) { ... } Lastly, the fun parts! 🤓 To create the "vignette" mask. Use a layered mask on the container 😷 .scene { --buff: 3rem; height: 100%; width: 100%; mask: linear-gradient(transparent, white var(--buff) calc(100% - var(--buff)), transparent), linear-gradient(90deg, transparent, white var(--buff) calc(100% - var(--buff)), transparent); mask-composite: intersect; } To create the 3D skewed effect, use a chained transform (Try toggling it in the demo ⚡️): .grid { transform: rotateX(20deg) rotateZ(-20deg) skewX(20deg); } As for the responsive part, use container queries! 🔥 article { container-type: inline-size; } When the article (card) is narrower than 400px update the grid and animation settings 🤙 Double the rows means double the duration! @container (width < 400px) { .grid { --count: 12; grid-template-columns: 1fr; } li:nth-of-type(1) { --i: 0; } li:nth-of-type(2) { --i: 1; } li:nth-of-type(3) { --i: 2; } li:nth-of-type(4) { --i: 3; } li { --duration: 20s; } } CSS has the magic to be able to update those animations at runtime based on your custom property values 😎 An added bonus in this demo is that it doesn't require any JavaScript at all, for any of it 🤯 We can use CSS :has() for those toggles that update the styles, even the theme toggle! 🫶 Any questions, let me know! Make sure to check out the video. Will do a walkthrough one to follow-up 🤙 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Tip! 📜 You can create scroll-driven micro-interactions with animation-timeline and custom properties 🔥 .search { animation: shrink; animation-timeline: scroll(); animation-range: 0 calc(var(--header-height) * 0.5); } @keyframes shrink { to { width: calc(100% - var(--button-size); } } The --header-height is being used to dictate the container height for the header. You can use that for the animation-range used across different scroll animations 🤙 For another example, you can animate the box-shadow reveal on the header once the search has stuck 🍡 header { animation: shadow; animation-timeline: scroll(); animation-range: var(--header-height) calc(var(--header-height) * 1.5); } @keyframes shadow { to { box-shadow: 0 5px 10px hsl(0 0% 0%); } } Then you have the little extras! 🧸🎈 Everything powered by the scroll() animation-timeline which hooks into the page scroll. And then using the --header-height in the different animation-range ✨ Give it a try! ⭐️ 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 🤙 You can create this header effect using position: sticky, clip-path, and custom properties 🔥 (Video 👀) header { position: sticky; top: var(--margin); } main { clip-path: inset(var(--header) 0 0 0);) } No mix-blend-mode or animations required ✨ What's the trick then? 🧐 Duplicate the header element first. Then fix the positioning of one behind the content. header[aria-hidden] { position: fixed; top: 0; margin-top: var(--margin); } Clip the top of the content to reveal the fixed header and put a sticky-positioned header inside it that matches up in position and size ✂️ :root { --header: calc(var(--margin) + var(--font-size)); } main { clip-path: inset(var(--header) 0 0 0); } header { position: sticky; top: var(--margin); } Make your life easier with custom properties 🙌 As the body scrolls, the fixed header gets covered by the clipped content and creates the effect ✨ And because the sticky header is "stuck" it reveals itself as the content goes out of view 😍 This one's pretty cool. You can set the font color to whatever you want. At first glance, it looked like it was a mix-blend-mode thing. It doesn't have to be! Think about it and lean into z-indexing 🫶 Watch the video to get an idea of things with the exploding view 🤯 Any questions, etc. let me know! Will likely do a YouTube video on this one too! 🙏 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

CSS Trick 📜 You can trigger text highlights on scroll with scroll-driven animations 😎 mark { animation: highlight; animation-timeline: view(); } @keyframes highlight { to { --lit: 1; }} mark span { background-position: calc(var(--lit) * -110%) 0; transition: background 1s; } The trick is using a scroll-driven animation to flip a custom property on a element 🎚️ You flip the value between 0 and 1, and that transitions the background position of the element mark { --lit: 0; animation: highlight steps(1) both; animation-timeline: view(); animation-range: entry 100% cover 10%; } The background has to be applied on a child of the mark to see the change in the custom property 👀 mark span { background: linear-gradient( 120deg, yellow 50%, transparent 50%) 110% 0 / 220% 100% no-repeat; background-position: calc(var(--lit) * 110%) 0; transition: background-position 1s; } The trick is to set the background-size so that it's bigger than the element and then split the background-color in the middle using a linear-gradient 🤙 And the property flips fills in the color 🫶 That's it! If there isn't support for scroll-driven animations, use JavaScript's IntersectionObserver API. The code for this is in the demo 😎 Cool example of using CSS as an IntersectionObserver!
