Marquee

An infinite scroll band that runs on its own — no pointer needed, just a duplicated set and a keyframe.

Two identical sets of items sit side by side in a flex track. A single @keyframes animates the track leftward by exactly 50% of its own width — the point at which the duplicate lines up perfectly with where the original started. Edge masks fade the ends to nothing. Hover pauses playback.

FIELD GUIDE

How a specimen works.

FOUR STEPS

Every specimen is presented like lab equipment — framed, labelled, and ready to be taken apart.

STEP 01
Open the stage.
Each component sits inside a framed preview viewport with registration ticks, a live frame counter, and the easing curve plotted alongside it.
STAGE
STEP 02
Slow it down.
Step through frames, swap easing, toggle reduced motion. Read the animation the way you’d read a contact sheet.
SCRUB
STEP 03
Read the source.
Every specimen is one self-contained file — HTML markup, a CSS block, and vanilla JavaScript. No framework, no build step, no dependencies.
ONE FILE
STEP 04
Take it home.
Copy the file, drop it in your project, change the props. No CLI, no install, no lock-in. MIT licensed.
