Overview
This tutorial walks you through building a scroll-driven horizontal carousel in React with Framer Motion and TypeScript. Rather than relying on traditional click-based navigation, the carousel links horizontal movement to the user's vertical scroll, creating a fluid, parallax-like experience that feels natural and gesture-driven.
You'll start by setting up the project, structuring your components and types, and styling the layout. From there, you'll implement the core animation using Framer Motion's scroll-based hooks, then refine the design for a polished, production-ready result. Finally, you'll add subtle viewport-triggered animations to bring the interface to life.
This approach works especially well for portfolios and landing pages where first impressions matter. Design inspiration is drawn from Awwwards.
