Coverflow 3 block design & features
Coverflow3 is a Shadcn UI ring carousel where ten portrait images are placed around the inside of a cylinder in true 3D. A short centered heading sits close above the ring, and the title and location of the front-facing image are shown just underneath with a zero-padded position counter that fades up gently whenever a new image reaches the front.
The ring rotates freely with drag or swipe and carries momentum after release, then eases to rest with a card centered. When nobody is interacting it turns slowly on its own, pausing for a moment after each drag. Cards facing away are hidden so the ring reads cleanly, and a soft fade at the bottom grounds it on the page.
It is an elaborate, motion-led block with a playful, tactile quality. The arrow keys rotate one card at a time when the ring is focused. The radius is calculated from the number of items, so the ring stays evenly spaced with more or fewer images. It needs a set of portrait photographs, each with a short title and location.
