Want to build a website that feels like a premium award-winning agency project? 🚀 In this video, we are breaking down the Sticky Card Stack effect using React, GSAP (ScrollTrigger), and Lenis for smooth scrolling.

Most developers struggle with "janky" scroll animations. The secret isn't just CSS—it’s about mastering Scroll Geometry and synchronizing your animations with a smooth scroll library. We’ll cover everything from setting up the 3D-perspective stack to writing a sequential GSAP timeline that scales and fades cards perfectly.

🔥 What you will learn:

Smooth Scrolling: Setting up Lenis to remove browser scroll jitter.

ScrollTrigger Pinning: How to "glue" a section while animating its contents.

GSAP Timelines: Creating a math-based sequence for card scaling and opacity.

Immutability in React: Using useRef correctly to track DOM elements for GSAP.

Responsive Design: Making sure the stack effect looks great on mobile devices.
