# Sticky Deck: Case Studies

> A studio portfolio on photo cards, with tighter edges and a deeper dim for a dark page. Each photo settles from a slight zoom as its card lands, driven by `useStickyDeckCard()`, and the counter at the top rolls to the front card's number.

A shadcn/ui block from the [@keyframeui](https://keyframeui.com) registry, listed on [shadcn.exchange](https://shadcn.exchange/r/keyframeui/sticky-deck-case-studies-demo).
