Parallax Tile Image
A tile whose photo moves slower than the page: as the tile scrolls through the viewport the image slides inside its frame, revealing more of itself, while a caption on top moves at a third speed in the other direction. The offset comes from the tile's position, so it is exact at any scroll speed.

The mechanic
`p = (frameCentre − viewportCentre) / viewportHeight` clamped to ±1; image `translateY(p × −14%)` on a 130 %-tall image; caption `translateY(p × 10%)`. Updated from a rAF scheduled by scroll and resize. The demo scrolls inside a 360 px stage so the element previews alone; on a page use the window.
How to use it
From prompt to a block in your page.
- 01Try the component
The preview is the shipped element inside a neutral demo page. Hover, click, focus: the one interaction it is about is live.
- 02Pick a palette
Token sets re-tint it live. The prompt carries the one you chose.
- 03Pick your stack
A paste-in snippet, or a component for Next.js, React, Vue, Astro, WordPress, Shopify or Webflow.
- 04Copy the prompt
It quotes the markup, styles and script verbatim with the tokens and the rules that keep it self-contained.
- 05Mount it in your layout
It inherits your page's font and width; the tokens live on :root; several instances share one script.
