@sabanna Thanks girl! I was struggling to get the effect right yesterday night and thanks to you public link, I got to see where my mistake was.
I made a version using flexbox and interactions only. It has multiple stacked layers. Let me know what you guys think. I believe there’s more ways to improve this.
Something that troubles me, the “trigger” area can be a bitch sometimes. Happens on both Sabanna’s and my version, where certain areas you hover would make the animation jumping up and down.
