I'm having some problems with Section 484, getting the split-text scrolling from GSAP to work properly on my WF site. Would anyone be willing to help me out?

dang what a kickass design! Wow.

Do you have the published URL as well?

WWilliam Boggs

Thanks!!

I think it was because I had changed the section padding to medium rather than large but the interaction start trigger seems to be set to the top of the component. Changing the padding made the interaction start really late.

It works fine now

Would be a nice plus to have documentation on how it works to be able to tweak it if needed. The documentation GSAP puts out & what I could find on YouTube wasn't great (especially for non-code-savvy people like me)

It's a spec project just for my portfolio

shoot who cares, it looks promising, keep going!

MMatt Johnson

it appears to be working for me

WWilliam Boggs

Yeah, I changed the padding back to large - probably better this way as it has more white space now

MMatt Johnson

yeah, I think it needs some space for the timing of it

MMatt Johnson

But yeah, roger that on the documentation - I'll add it to my list - thanks - seriously keep going. 💪
