Vertical Tabs with Timeline Progress in Tailwind CSS

A settings sidebar on a timeline rail: hollow dots for each section, a solid glowing dot for the active one, and — new in the port — a progress fill that runs down the rail to the active step. Beside it, the content pane switches; on phones the two stack.

What changed in the port

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

  • The ::before rail and the dot's margin-left:-29px arithmetic were replaced by two absolutely placed spans under a dot at a known x — no negative-margin geometry to recompute.
  • input:checked + .tt28b .tt28dot became group-has-checked/tab: on the dot.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: a progress fill runs down the rail to the active step (h-[calc((100%-48px)*var(--i)/3)]), each step gained a sub-label, and a content pane sits beside the nav.
  • UI upgrade: rows are 48px tall (were ~24px), inactive labels moved from 55% white to a 7.6:1 token, and the layout stacks on phones.

How this works

Rail and fill share one geometry. Rows are 48px tall with no gap, so dot centres sit 24px from the top of the first row and the bottom of the last. The rail spans that distance; the fill covers i/3 of it:

<span class="absolute top-6 bottom-6 left-[15px] w-0.5 bg-ttb08-acc/20"></span>
<span class="absolute top-6 left-[15px] w-0.5 bg-ttb08-acc
  h-[calc((100%-48px)*var(--i)/3)] transition-[height]"></span>

No negative-margin arithmetic. The original pulled each dot onto the rail with margin-left:-29px; here the dot is the first flex child at a known x, so the rail is placed under it instead.

Make it yours

  • More steps: change the divisor from 3 to steps − 1 and add [--i] entries.
  • Light mode: stage #f8fafc, dot fill the stage colour so hollow dots punch the rail.
  • Turn the fill off for a pure nav (not a progress) by deleting the fill span.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • The fill math assumes equal row heights — keep sub-labels to one line.
  • Hollow dots need a fill equal to the background or the rail shows through them.
  • For a true stepper (steps completed), style earlier dots with a counter or extra variants; this demo marks only the active one.
