How this works

The front project preview uses a CSS grid inside an absolutely positioned layer to simulate a multi-panel dashboard UI without image assets. Each grid cell is a translucent rgba box with a subtle border; the top cell spans two columns via grid-column: 1 / 3.

The back skill bars use width set as inline style on each .fc-05__skill-bar. A transition: width .6s ease means once the back face becomes visible after the flip, the bars animate in, giving a satisfying data-reveal moment without any JavaScript.

Make it yours

  • Change skill percentages by editing the style="width:96%" inline attribute on each .fc-05__skill-bar element.
  • Trigger the bar animation on back-face hover instead of on flip by starting widths at 0% in CSS and expanding to final values on :hover.
  • Add more tech rows by duplicating a .fc-05__skill-item block — the flex column layout expands without any parent CSS change.
  • Replace the emoji icons in .fc-05__si with inline SVG brand logos for a professional portfolio appearance.
  • Add a shimmer sweep to each bar using background-size:200% and a @keyframes background-position shift for a polished loading-bar feel.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Inline style width values are read by screen readers — add aria-label="96 percent" to each bar track for assistive technology support.
  • Setting initial widths to their final values and relying on the flip reveal is simpler than animating from 0 — the 3D flip itself provides the drama.
  • overflow: hidden on the skill track can interfere with preserve-3d context — keep it on a child wrapper, not the face element.
