A scroll fade stack built with pure HTML and CSS that arranges multiple content blocks in a stacked layout and transitions their visibility using fade effects as the user scrolls, creating a sense of depth and progression without relying on JavaScript or external libraries.
Usage
This component is ideal for layouts where content should appear in layered stages, such as step-based explanations, visual storytelling sections, product feature walkthroughs, or stacked card presentations that benefit from gradual focus shifts.
Implementation
The stacking effect is achieved using CSS positioning, z-index layering, and opacity transitions tied to scroll based state changes, allowing each layer to fade in or out smoothly while maintaining a lightweight and reusable structure.
