Appreciate it @bro-design !

I ended up using swiper.js at the end.

Maybe in 10 years will get a native CMS powered Webflow slider :sweat_smile:

Itā€™s relatively easy to set up a 100% CMS-compatible Webflow native slider using components, however my current setup for this isnā€™t as easy to style as the ā€œnakedā€ native element which has all of its parts exposed directly to class assignment and styling. .

How it looks? Place into each slide CMS collection?

Yep in the designer itā€™s a Slider wrapper component with a single slot for slides, and then a Slide component i drop in.

When I want CMS-driven slides, I drop a collection list with my slide component inside, data-bind it, and then wrap the whole thing in a component so that I can slot it.

I can mix static and CMS slides this way too, which is my usual approach.
