How this works

A fixed-height overflow:hidden window clips a two-row vertical flex column; on hover the column translates up one row so the first flips out and the second slides in.

Make it yours

  • Swap the reveal row for any icon or phrase.
  • Change flip speed.
  • Flip horizontally with translateX.
  • Recolour each row.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Both rows must be exactly the content height.
  • Translate by 50% of the doubled column.
  • Keep the accessible label stable.

Floor set by oklch() as this demo is written. The core technique itself goes back further — Chrome 36+.

Flexbox + transforms are universal; without CSS both rows show.
