Weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiles, tarts and trams.
Content Rise Card
The title sits low on the image; on hover it rises and a description fades in beneath it. Everything is positioned inside the image, so the card's footprint never changes.
Also known as: hover reveal description, text slide up card.
Sintra day trip
Palaces, mist and pastel walls, forty minutes from the city.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--hfx-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Base size: set
--hfx-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing16px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
