Feature Section with Live Metric Counter Chips
Three proof-of-scale cards, each headed by a number that ramps from zero the first time the card enters the viewport — 99.99% uptime, 47ms P50, 2.4M events per minute — with stat chips underneath giving the supporting detail. The ramp is a registered custom property animated on a view() timeline where supported, with a 20-line IntersectionObserver ramp as the fallback for engines without scroll-driven animations.

Demo: Feature Section with Live Metric Counter Chips
Source: https://codefronts.com/layouts/css-feature-sections/feature-section-with-live-metric-counter-chips/
Three proof-of-scale cards, each headed by a number that ramps from zero the first time the card enters the viewport — 99.99% uptime, 47ms P50, 2.4M events per minute — with stat chips underneath giving the supporting detail. The ramp is a registered custom property animated on a view() timeline where supported, with a 20-line IntersectionObserver ramp as the fallback for engines without scroll-driven animations.

Demo: Feature Section with Live Metric Counter Chips
Source: https://codefronts.com/layouts/css-feature-sections/feature-section-with-live-metric-counter-chips/
Three proof-of-scale cards, each headed by a number that ramps from zero the first time the card enters the viewport — 99.99% uptime, 47ms P50, 2.4M events per minute — with stat chips underneath giving the supporting detail. The ramp is a registered custom property animated on a view() timeline where supported, with a 20-line IntersectionObserver ramp as the fallback for engines without scroll-driven animations.

```How this works
CSS can animate a number, but only a registered one. A plain custom property is a string as far as interpolation is concerned, so --n: 0 to --n: 9999 snaps. Register it — @property --n { syntax: '<integer>'; inherits: false; initial-value: 0 } — and the same keyframes interpolate smoothly. Painting it is the second trick: counter-reset: n var(--n) then content: counter(n) in a pseudo-element, because content cannot read a number directly.
The timeline is the scroll position, not a clock. animation-timeline: view() ties progress to the element's own passage through the viewport, so the ramp starts when the card appears and needs no observer, no listener and no INP cost. animation-fill-mode: both plus a view-timeline-inset keeps the number settled once the card is fully on screen instead of counting back down as it leaves.
Decimals need a scale trick. The integer syntax cannot hold 99.99, so the counter animates 0 to 9999 and the card renders a static % plus a decimal point drawn as separate text, or divides visually by grouping. This build ramps whole units and places the unit label as its own element — cleaner than fighting counter-style, and it keeps the digits in tabular figures so nothing shifts while counting.
The trap is announcing a moving number. A counter that updates 60 times a second inside a live region floods a screen reader. Mark the animated digits aria-hidden and put the final value in adjacent visually-hidden text, so assistive tech hears '99.99% uptime' once and sighted users still get the ramp.
Make it yours
- Change a target by editing the
--targetvalue on that card — both the CSS ramp and the JS fallback read it. - Slow the ramp by raising the
animation-rangeend value fromcover 45%towardcover 80%. - Retint the glow by changing
--accent; the ring, chips and digits all derive from it. - Swap
--font-displayfor a proportional face if you prefer the digits to breathe, and dropfont-variant-numeric. - Add a fourth card — the auto-fit grid absorbs it and the observer picks it up with no JS edit.
- Set
--densitypadding to the compact value for a dashboard-adjacent feel.
Gotchas — read before shipping
- Animating an unregistered custom property produces a hard jump at 50% rather than a ramp — the @property registration is not optional.
content: var(--n)renders nothing useful; you needcounter-resetpluscounter()to turn a number into text.- Without
animation-fill-mode: boththe number resets to zero once the card scrolls past, so a returning visitor sees an empty stat. - A ramping number inside an
aria-liveregion is announced on every frame — hide the digits and expose the settled value as text. - Firefox before 130 and Safari before 18 have no scroll-driven animations, so the @supports gate and the observer fallback are what keep the numbers from sitting at zero.

animation-timeline: view() and @property together dictate the floor (Chromium 115, Safari 18, Firefox 130 for scroll-driven animations; @property lands earlier at Chromium 85 / Safari 16.4 / Firefox 128). Behind the @supports (animation-timeline: view()) gate the numbers are painted at their end value, and the 20-line IntersectionObserver ramp restores the count-up for those engines.
