  • Tutorial:CSS-Only Staggered Animations with sibling-index() and sibling-count()

    Stagger animations from each element's own position, without JavaScript.
    sibling-index() and sibling-count() give an element its own 1-based position and its sibling total directly inside calc() — replacing the JavaScript loop that sets a --i custom property, with fixed-step and fixed-total staggers, index-driven colours and rotations, fallbacks, and reduced-motion handling.
