About EditorialCards
Editorial Cards is an interactive Framer code component that creates a layered editorial-style card experience with progressive reveal, hover motion, drag interaction, and flexible card positioning.
It is built for layouts where cards should feel tactile and alive rather than static. Cards can either start already visible on the canvas or appear partially from outside the frame, inviting interaction. Outside cards first peek in, then fully reveal on click, creating a staged storytelling effect.
Key features
Progressive reveal interaction
Cards can enter one by one instead of appearing all at once.
Peek-from-edge behavior
Cards can start outside the canvas and peek in from any side.
Click to reveal
Peeking cards expand into their full placed position when clicked.
Custom card layout
Set individual card position, rotation, stacking order, and start behavior.
Hover motion
Revealed cards can lift and scale slightly on hover for a more premium feel.
Drag support
Cards can be dragged, making the composition feel tactile and dynamic.
Focus through dimming
Non-hovered cards can fade back while the active card gets visual priority.
Canvas-based workflow
Connect your own Framer layers/components directly into the card slots.

Ideal for hero sections and showcase blocks where visual rhythm matters.
