How modern CSS features allow developers to construct complex scroll-linked timelines and entry transitions directly on GPU threads.

Declarative Scroll Timelines

CSS Scroll-driven animations map animation progress directly to viewport scroll position without listening to window scroll events, eliminating layout thrashing.

@keyframes revealOnScroll {
  from { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(30px) scale(0.96); }
  to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0) scale(1); }
}

.reveal-card {
  animation: revealOnScroll linear both;
  animation-timeline: view();
  animation-range: entry 10% cover 30%;
}
