Stacked List

Icon of book open

Design a stacked list component where several items are partially visible behind the active row. Treat it as a reusable UI pattern, not a decorative pile: the user should immediately understand what is selected, what is next, and how many items are in the stack.

Use a clear depth system to separate items. Offset each layer just enough to expose the title or key line of the cards behind it. Keep the front item dominant, with the next items fading back through scale, elevation, or contrast — but avoid effects that make the stack feel noisy or hard to scan.

Show at least three states: collapsed stack, one item expanded, and a transition state where the next item is partially revealed. If the component supports interaction, make the gesture obvious in the design itself: a handle, chevron, swipe affordance, or tap target that signals how the stack opens.

Incorporate motion design for expanding items to engage users and enhance the visual hierarchy.
