Reverse engineered version of Webflow's very own sticky section component found here: https://webflow.com/solutions/freelancers-agencies.  

Details:
- It's using a proxy div (4x) to call the 'Scroll In/Out of View' interactions
- There is custom code in the footer used for video playback controls (starting/stopping video at specific time based on scroll position)
- 100% credit to Webflow team for design and original implementation

Webflow Sticky Sections

Let site visitors preview external links by hovering over the text. This plug-and-play feature allows you to get a link preview without leaving :)

How it works:
It extracts external links on load, grabs a screenshot then reveals the preview on hover. 

Since the card's position is calculated using custom code - it works with inline links and link blocks.

Just change the external link, and the preview will be updated automatically. Replace the demo screenshot API I've used with your own on live builds.

The project also includes a static version where you can manually upload a preview if you prefer—inspired by https://uiw.tf components. Fully built-in Webflow.

With the new Ghostbusters movie coming, I wanted to build a proper movie site for such an amazing franchise. Celebrating the new and showcasing the originals.

I've also made the project cloneable. I'm new to development and have pulled snippets from multiple different projects. I still have a lot to learn but if this project is helpful to you, that's awesome!!

Staggered letters and word animations are quite popular. I always created these with a duplicate of the original text, but Jan-Willem Wessels (thanks buddy!) shared a great technique with me that uses a text-shadow. It's not only easier, but also better for accessibility.
