About Bounce Cards

Bounce Cards fans a row of image cards that bounce in one after another on stiff springs. Hover one and it lifts while its neighbours step aside.

How it works

Positions and rotations are computed across the fan, and entrances are staggered springs. Hover pushes neighbours apart, and Replay re-runs the entrance.

Interactive parts are buttons or links with accessible names, decorative layers are hidden from assistive tech, and everything is reachable by keyboard. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.

Customizing Bounce Cards

Every prop is documented in the API reference above with its type and default. The ones you will reach for first are listed here.

The Customize panel next to the preview lets you change spread, stagger, rotate live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.

images (string[]).
spread (number, default 220): Total fan width in px.
stagger (number, default 0.08).
rotate (number, default 14): Rotation at the ends of the fan, in degrees.
