Tailwind Stacked Layer Reveal Card (Fanned Risograph Deck)

Three coloured plates that fan out and rotate on hover like spreading a deck of risograph prints. The port trades CSS's pseudo-element layers for real <div>s — more markup, but each plate's rest state, fanned state and stagger delay are now readable in one place.

What changed in the port

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

  • Pseudo-element layers became real elements. That is usually the wrong trade, but here it buys a third plate, per-plate delays and per-plate colour tokens — all of which the two-pseudo ceiling forbade.
  • delay-150 / delay-75 / no delay is the cascade. Three utilities replace what would otherwise be three transition declarations.
  • UI change from the CSS original: the card is focusable and fans on group-focus-visible:, and the front plate lifts separately so the deck has a clear top card.

How this works

Plates are elements now. The CSS original used ::before and ::after, which caps you at two extra layers and hides their state in a stylesheet. Three real divs cost three lines of markup and give each plate an independent transform, delay and colour.

Each plate states its own fan. group-hover:-translate-x-7 group-hover:translate-y-5 group-hover:-rotate-6 on the back plate, a mirrored pair on the middle one, and a simple lift on the front. The transform origin stays central, so the rotation reads as a shuffle.

The content sits above and out of the way. relative z-4 pointer-events-none keeps the type over the plates without stealing the hover.

Make it yours

  • Fan spread: scale each plate's translate pair together, or the deck stops looking like one gesture.
  • Add a fourth plate by copying a layer and bumping its z- and delay-.
  • Retheme from --color-tch09-a/b/c; desaturating them reads as photocopies rather than prints.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Leave room in the grid — a fanned card is visually wider than its box and will collide with neighbours at tight gaps.
  • Each plate needs an explicit z-; without it, DOM order decides and the front plate can end up behind.
  • Keep the plates decorative. Anything focusable belongs in the content layer, not in a transformed plate a keyboard user cannot see move.
  • motion-reduce: should drop the translates and rotations and keep nothing else — there is no informational content in the fan.
