Hey folks!
I’m going to be building a brand new custom component right here on the forum in public. The idea is to build an Animated Stats Counter that counts up when it scrolls into view. Ideal for showing off things like downloads, happy customers, projects launched, that kind of thing.
I’ll be breaking the build into small steps and posting a short video (plus the actual project file) each time, so you can see exactly how it all comes together and follow along at your own pace. We’ll be using Alpine.js for the animation and Tailwind for styling (both built into Elements), with a few neat tricks along the way (hopefully).
However, I won’t be writing the code myself, we’re going to try and “vibe code” it with the elements forum bot… Expect a lot of back and forth, but hopefully we’ll get there.
Feel free to watch, learn, ask questions, or even remix it into your own thing
I have no idea if this will work or be useful, but we’re going try.
Here goes…
