Problem: Cards that rise on hover.

Solution#

html
<div class="hover-lift p-6 rounded-xl border bg-white">…</div>
<!-- or manually: -->
<div class="transition hover:-translate-y-1 hover:shadow-lg">…</div>

Why this works#

-translate-y + shadow increase reads as elevation.

Variants#

  • Responsive: add screen prefixes to the core classes
  • Dark: pair each color utility with its dark: twin
  • Animated: add transition + a state variant for motion
