Split-flap board

A mechanical departure board that folds each changed tile through its drum until the next studio fact lands.

Where it earns its place

A small, tactile status line: pricing, availability or a headline metric in a header, a pricing band or an event page.

What we changed

  • Tiles walk forward through a fixed drum order (at most seven cards) instead of flashing random characters, which is how a real board moves.
  • Rebuilt the fold with framer-motion flaps keyed per card, replacing the global CSS keyframes and the glossy gradients and text shadows.
  • The board sizes itself with container units, so twelve tiles always span the row from a 300px card to the full stage.
  • Added a pause control for the auto-advancing content and a caption that says what each phrase means; reduced motion swaps phrases instantly.
  • Kept the original's best idea: only tiles whose character changes flip, with a left-to-right stagger.
