Tailwind Magazine Overlay Slide Card (Full-Face Panel Takeover)

A magazine card where a full-bleed red panel slides up and takes over the entire face, swapping a quiet cover for full issue details. Unlike the partial sheets in demos 03 and 18, this panel covers everything — which makes the easing choice the whole design.

What changed in the port

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

  • Simplest port in the collection: one transform, one curve, two content layers. Worth keeping as the reference for how little a good hover effect needs.
  • translate-y-[101%] is an arbitrary value where translate-y-full would read nicer — the extra percent is a real rendering defence, not fussiness.
  • UI change from the CSS original: the panel link is a real <a> with a 44px target, and group-focus-within: drives the takeover for keyboard users.

}
```

How this works

One transform, full coverage. The panel is absolute inset-0 — the whole card, not a bottom sheet — parked at translate-y-[101%]. On hover it returns to zero and the cover is simply gone. Because the panel is opaque and full-bleed, there is no blend, no frost, and no compromise on the detail copy's legibility.

101% is not a typo. At fractional device pixel ratios, a panel parked at exactly 100% can leave a hairline of itself visible at the card's bottom edge. The extra percent is the standard defence.

Both faces live in the DOM. The cover is not removed and the panel is not mounted on demand, so the card's full content is available to assistive tech and search at rest.

Make it yours

  • Direction: -translate-y-[101%] drops the panel from above; translate-x-[101%] slides from the right.
  • Panel colour is the brand statement here — --color-tch25-panel is the one token worth changing first.
  • Duration: 550ms suits a full takeover; anything under 300ms feels like a jump cut.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • overflow-hidden on the card, or the parked panel is visible below it.
  • Use an opaque panel. A semi-transparent full-face overlay reads as a dimming bug rather than a reveal.
  • group-focus-within: is required — the panel holds the article link.
  • Under motion-reduce: fade instead of sliding a full-card panel; the travel distance is the largest in this collection.
