Radial Gallery
A slow-spinning ring of image cards that works out how many fit the screen on its own, so it always looks even. Drop it behind a hero or a call to action as a moving backdrop, as two half-rings off the edges or one full ring behind your content.

Where this component came from.
We built it for annnimate.com, our own site, and kept it in the library once it earned its place. The same code runs in production today.
How it's built.
The first version I built had a set number of cards, and it broke at the edges - on a wide screen they drifted apart with gaps, on a narrow one they piled over the text in the middle. So I made the ring work out its own count: it looks at the space it's got and fills the circle with however many cards land evenly, and it redoes that the moment you resize. That's the whole thing really - it always reads as an even, deliberate ring instead of one fixed layout stretched to fit.
The hover took another pass. A card slides out of the ring when you point at it, but early on it kept sliding out from under the cursor and flickering as it went. The fix was to hold the card you're actually on still and slide an inner layer instead, so you never lose it - and it kicks out a touch too far before it settles, so it feels like there's a bit of weight to it.
Past that it's yours. Drop in your own images, set it as a half-ring bleeding off one edge or a full circle behind your content, and dial the spacing to make it calm and airy or packed tight - the card count just follows. On a phone it settles into a full circle sized to wrap around the content instead of throwing cards off into the corners.
