Tailwind Blueprint Reveal Card with Circular clip-path Wipe

A product card that wipes into a technical blueprint — grid paper, dimension lines, tolerances — via a circle that expands from the top-right corner. clip-path: circle() animates cleanly because only the radius changes, and that single-value interpolation is what makes the wipe smooth.

What changed in the port

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

  • circle() is the clip-path shape that animates without caveats — one radius, no vertex matching. Reach for it before polygon() whenever the reveal can be round.
  • The original used inline style="…" for three text colours. Those became text-tch28-mut and friends, which is the port quietly fixing a maintainability hole.
  • UI change from the CSS original: focusable card, wipe on group-focus-visible:, and the dimension lines are now pseudo-elements on the drawing itself rather than absolutely positioned siblings.

How this works

A circle wipe is the cheapest animated clip. circle(0% at 100% 0%) to circle(150% at 100% 0%) changes exactly one value, so there is no vertex-count problem and no interpolation ambiguity. 150% guarantees the circle covers the far corner whatever the card's aspect ratio.

Both faces are complete cards. The product face (soft radial, rendered object, plain type) and the blueprint face (grid, outline, specs) are each full absolute inset-0 layouts. The wipe reveals the second; the first fades under it.

Annotations are gradients, not SVG. The two dashed dimension lines are repeating-linear-gradient strips on pseudo-elements, extended 30px past the object on each axis. No SVG, no stroke-dasharray, and nothing for a screen reader to announce.

Make it yours

  • Wipe origin: at 100% 0% is a corner sweep; at 50% 50% opens from the centre like an iris.
  • Blueprint hue: --color-tch28-blue reads as architect; an amber variant reads as a patent drawing.
  • Grid pitch is the 22px in the background size — finer grids read as engineering, coarser as sketch.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Keep the wipe under ~600ms. A slow reveal on a card people are scanning reads as lag.
  • The annotation pseudo-elements carry no text, so nothing leaks into the accessibility tree — keep it that way if you add callouts.
  • Thin blueprint lines can fail 3:1 non-text contrast; these sit at full opacity on a saturated blue for that reason.
  • Under motion-reduce: cross-fade the faces instead of wiping.
