hey! finally trying tw-fade 👋

oh nice — welcome

these scroll lists are slick

thanks, it’s all CSS

this thread fades at the edges<br>while i scroll 👀

that’s tw-fade ✨

some scroll library?

nope — a pure CSS mask

zero JavaScript

so how does it know i’m<br>scrolling?

scroll-driven CSS — the fade is<br>scroll-gated

does it soften both edges?

fade-y — one class on the<br>container

but the newest message stays<br>sharp 🔥

pinned to the bottom, yep — scroll<br>up and both edges dissolve ↕︎

Edges

Scroll aware

Fades appear only when there is more content to<br>scroll, then ease away again at either edge.

Eased gradients

Eased alpha ramps dissolve content into the surface<br>instead of ending on a clipped line.

Composable

Axis, size, range, and clear-zone utilities compose<br>directly on the scroll container.

Works on any background
