just stumbled on this method for building a gallery that loops forever using parallax and the flip plugin. it uses
fullscreen transitions to smoothly expand images when you click them, which looks super high-end. the setup relies heavily on
gsap.flip
to handle the layout changes without any janky jumps. i am wondering if this level of animation is too much for a standard landing page or if it actually helps with engagement.
it might kill your lcp if you are not careful but the visual impact is
undeniable when it works perfectly. really smooth movement makes the whole site feel more premium
