Weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiles, tarts and trams.
Diagonal Wipe Image Hover
Two slanted panels wipe in from the left, a pale sliver first and the accent panel a beat later, leaving the right of the photo in view beside the caption. Each panel is one clip-path polygon.
Also known as: slanted overlay hover, angled caption panel, skew wipe image.

}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.
