Edge Warp Rail

A case study read sideways. Vertical scroll drives a horizontal rail of media: wheel down, swipe, or grab the rail and drag, and the whole strip travels left. Tiles bend and recede at the left and right of the frame like a page turning, so leaving the viewport reads as motion rather than a cut, and a soft edge mask dissolves them at the rim. Portrait, square, and wide frames sit in one continuous line sized by their own proportions, with short note cards set between them. Images fade up from transparent as they load. It owns its own scroll container, so it embeds in a bounded box or fills the viewport; on small screens it becomes a plain vertical stack, and with reduced motion a native horizontal scroller with no scroll hijacking. No animation library.
