Weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiles, tarts and trams.
Isometric Card Hover
A card laid out in isometric view with visible thickness. On hover it floats up off the surface while its shadow slides away and softens. Real side faces, so the slab has depth at any size.
Also known as: isometric hover effect, 3d floating tile, iso card raise css.

}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.
