Scroll-Driven Animations: Cover Flow (2022.10.06 @ Full Stack Europe)

Back in October I was at Full Stack Europe in Antwerp. One of the talks I gave covered how I recreated Cover Flow using only HTML and CSS, thanks to Scroll-Driven Animations.

💡 The feature covered in this post is formerly known as Scroll-Linked Animations, before it got renamed to Scroll-Driven Animations in December 2022. While this post uses this new name, the slides and recording do not as they predate the rename.

# The Talk

The talk I gave is a lighting talk of about 5 minutes introducing Scroll-Driven Animations. The talk revolves around a central Cover Flow demo implemented using only HTML and CSS. On the CSS side, it uses Scroll-Snapping, CSS Animations, and Scroll-Driven Animations. The recording is embedded below:

# Demo

The demo used for this talk is available on CodePen. Although Scroll-Driven Animations are not supported (unflagged) in any browser at the time of writing, the demo above works thanks to a polyfill that’s being loaded.

# Thanks!

Thanks go out to organizers Dries, Freek, and Rias for having me again. Just like the previous edition in 2019, the conference was of high quality again. Having a history in PHP and Cloud, I really liked the set of talks they selected for the conference.

Hopefully you all had fun attending my talk — I know I had making it (and whilst bringing it forward) — and perhaps you even learned something from it along the way 🙂
