Technical Details

Performance Virtual rendering keeps DOM nodes minimal regardless of project count. RequestAnimationFrame drives all animation. Refs handle DOM updates directly to avoid unnecessary re-renders. useMemo and useCallback prevent expensive recomputations on every frame.

Animation Custom lerp smoothing on scroll position. Cubic easing on snap animations. Separate parallax calculations for background and thumbnail layers. Cross-fade transitions on all text and image changes.

Input Handling Mouse wheel with velocity clamping. Click-drag with momentum carry. Touch events for mobile. Automatic snap fires after a configurable idle period.

Requirements

Framer Sites 2024 or later. Images must be accessible via public URL or uploaded directly as Framer Assets. External image URLs require proper CORS headers on the host server.
