Tilt Card

@summonware/ui · tilt-card · ·

Usage

A stat/feature card that tilts toward the cursor and lifts its shadow on hover, with an icon and content layer shifting at different rates for a "2.5D" depth cue — hand-rolled pointer tracking, no animation library. Snaps back flat the instant the pointer leaves rather than easing out.
import { TiltCard } from '@summonware/ui';

Best practices

DoReserve it for a handful of hero stats or feature tiles — a whole grid of tilting cards reads as noisy rather than premium.
DoKeep content short. The tilt and parallax are subtle by design; dense text inside them just looks jittery.
Don'tUse it for a card that is itself a click target requiring precise pointer accuracy — the tilt transform makes the surface visually move under the cursor.

Anatomy

iconOptional icon in the frontmost parallax layer — moves the most on pointer move.

The glow prop adds a soft animated backdrop for a single hero stat that should stand out from a plain grid of cards around it.
