Choosing and integrating this component
PODIE source review ·
Where it fits
A gradual blur overlay at the edge of content. This version exposes a height-based overlay treatment; it is not the Motion Primitives layer API.
Integration boundary
Editable React source. Position the overlay over the content edge and tune its height to leave the reading area clear.
Checks before shipping
Compare against the Motion Primitives version before replacing imports: their configuration APIs differ. Neither overlay supplies a scroll container.
