Weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiles, tarts and trams.
Stand Up Card Hover
The card rests tipped back as if lying on a desk, and stands up to face you on hover with a springy overshoot. It hinges on its bottom edge, and a shade on the card lifts as it rises.
Also known as: card rises on hover, lay flat card hover, rotateX stand up card.

</div>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.
