Masonry
ProA Pinterest-style grid where every item drops into the shortest column, packed by measurement rather than by a shared row baseline.

What It Demonstrates
- Layout animation
- When an element's size or position changes, it animates to the new spot instead of snapping.
- Stagger
- Animate several items one after another with a small delay between each, creating a cascade.
- Scroll reveal
- Elements fade or slide into place as they enter the viewport.
- Spatial consistency
- Animating so an element keeps its identity and position across states, so users never lose track of where things went.
- Layout thrashing
- Animating properties like width, height, top, or left that force the browser to recalculate layout every frame, causing jank.
- will-change
- A CSS hint that an element is about to animate, so the browser can promote it to its own layer ahead of time.
- Compositing
- Letting the GPU move or fade an element on its own layer without redoing layout or paint.

Diff Review
A review surface for a patch an agent has proposed. Accept or reject each hunk, fold long runs of unchanged lines away, and flip between unified and split. Switching views does not redraw the diff: every line is a shared element that flies from the stream into its column and back, so you never lose the line you were reading.
Approval Flow
A step-by-step approval checklist for agent permissions. Radio and checkbox groups, an "Other…" escape hatch that grows a field in place, and per-step validation that blocks the commit. Answering a step sends the chosen option flying into a running record of what you have already decided, so the screen accumulates a decision trail instead of replacing itself.
Data GridPro
A virtualised grid over thousands of rows: resizable columns, multi-key sorting, range selection and keyboard navigation. Header and body share one scroller so they can never desync, selection is keyed by row id so it survives a re-sort, and focus stays on the viewport so a recycled row can never take the arrow keys down with it. Give it a parent with a bounded height — like every windowing implementation, in an auto-height parent it quietly stops windowing and renders every row.
Parallax Rail
A pinned section where scrolling down drives content sideways across depth planes moving at different rates.
Rotunda
Real HTML panels on a drag-spun 3D cylinder. A hand-rolled perspective projection written onto DOM elements rather than a canvas, so the text stays selectable, the links stay clickable, and a screen reader still reads every panel while the ring turns.
Ascii Engine
A lit, raymarched 3D solid rendered at exactly one pixel per character cell, then quantised into a glyph ramp drawn once with fillText. Drag to orbit it through a full three-sixty. Real geometry underneath, terminal on top, with no scene graph, no mesh, and no second library to get there.
