What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Progress bars are real role="progressbar" elements with values, so 'watched 62%' is available to a screen reader rather than implied by a coloured strip.
  • The duration badge sits in the grid as a flow item with a margin, which keeps it inside the reserved box even when the image fails to load.
  • Product upgrade: four abstract tiles became a course track with instructors, lesson numbers, per-lesson progress and a header showing remaining time — and real thumbnails make the CLS reservation visible.

How this works

The box exists before the pixels. A slot with aspect-video and w-full occupies full size whether the image loaded, failed, or never arrives — Google's recommended CLS fix, one utility long.

The overlay is a grid cell. The slot is itself a grid; place-self-end parks the badge bottom-right using the slot's padding as the inset, and the badge can never escape the reserved box.

Make it yours

  • Tokenise ratios in @theme (--aspect-poster: 4/5) and use aspect-poster.
  • Badge corner is one utility: place-self-start for 'New', place-self-end for duration.
  • Hover play state: group-hover:scale-105 on the image, clipped by overflow-hidden.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • aspect-ratio yields to an explicit height — one stray h-* and the reservation silently stops.
