Scroll-Driven Animations (scroll-driven-animations.style)
Scroll-driven animations are a common UX pattern on the web. These are animations that are linked to the scroll position of a scroll container. This means that as you scroll up or down, the linked animation scrubs forward or backward in direct response. Think of interesting effects such as parallax background images or reading indicators which move as you scroll. A similar type of scroll-driven animation is an animation that is linked to an element's position within its scroll container.

I’m going to show you how to use GPU shaders and signed distance fields to make animations like it for videos, video games, or just for fun! I even built a live coding editor into the page so you can see the examples running and tinker with them.
