Assorted CSS and UI experiments.
A collection of standalone CSS/UI experiments from Hakim El Hattab, the author of reveal.js. Each folder is a self-contained demo — pagination animations, card flips, a spiral rendered in CSS — meant to show what the browser can do without a framework. It's a portfolio of techniques, not a library you install.
Each experiment is tiny and self-contained, so you can open a single index.html and immediately understand the technique. The work is from someone who clearly knows CSS deeply — progress-nav in particular is a genuinely useful pattern. Source is readable SCSS before compilation, so you can see the intent. The demos still run in modern browsers without modification.
Last touched in 2024 but the actual CSS work is from around 2016 — the techniques predate CSS Grid, container queries, and modern animation APIs, so some approaches are dated. There are only seven experiments, which is thin for nearly a decade of stars. The live demo URLs point to lab.hakim.se which may not be around indefinitely. Zero documentation on what each experiment is actually demonstrating or why the approach was chosen.
