Measured entry

animata-stacked-sections

scroll-effect3dmotion on file

A client-side React primitive that turns direct children into sticky, progressively stacked panes and optionally scales covered content during scroll. It ships through a shadcn registry as a TypeScript component plus a small CSS layer, uses React and Tailwind utility classes, and imports the usual local cn helper through an alias.

Verdict

A focused, configurable stack effect that builds and runs cleanly in the prepared harness, with sensible reduced-motion behavior. It needs a shadcn-style setup before it will mount in a bare app because the source expects the local cn utility and Tailwind conventions.

Use it if

  • You want editorial chapters, product stages, or case-study panels to accumulate as visitors scroll.
  • Your React app already has Tailwind, a local class-name helper, and a client-rendered boundary.
  • You need the stack to work inside either the page scroll or a nested scrolling container.
  • You want configurable pane spacing, stack offset, scaling, and an optional closing scroll runway.

Skip it if

  • Your layout cannot reserve the vertical scroll space that sticky panes need to read clearly.
  • You require a CSS-only effect with no scroll listener or direct transform updates.
  • Your content must remain visually unchanged for every motion preference and interaction state.
  • You do not use Tailwind and do not want to translate the component's utility classes.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add React client rendering, configure Tailwind for the component file, copy its companion CSS, and either create the aliased lib/utils module with a cn class-merging helper or replace that import with your own local utility. Preserve the client directive where the framework requires it.
