Knocked out this component today. Radial image/video gallery. Axis-based expansion. Full screen/container project browser.
It started as a quick 2-hour thing and turned into an 8-hour thing. The animations were trickier than I expected to get smooth.
The blades are not image slices moving around. They are rotating masks over the media, so the image has to feel stable while the mask moves around it. Then the expanded state has to pick up from that exact same crop without snaps or flashes.
Trying to make the blades actual image slices is super messy. Masks are cleaner, but the geometry gets weird. Even with AI.
Might price it later, but will be free to community for several days. Ill try to publish it tomorrow.
