Why use this Smooth component for SaaS Owners?
Say goodbye to clunky, jQuery-era sliders. Built natively with Framer Motion, this carousel handles touch-swipes and drag gestures with 60fps butter-smooth precision, keeping your users engaged.
Unlike static carousels, this component integrates Framer Motion to provide fluid micro-interactions that increase conversion rates and reduce bounce rates. Best of all, you can save hours of UI engineering by copying the code block above directly into your React or Next.js app.
How it works
The carousel-1 ships as a single React component you install via the ogBlocks CLI. Under the hood it leverages Framer Motion's motion primitives for GPU-accelerated transforms and Tailwind CSS utility classes for zero-runtime styling. The result is a component that animates at 60 fps while adding minimal bundle weight.
SEO & Performance Benefits
Because animations are powered by CSS transforms (not layout shifts), this carousels component maintains excellent Core Web Vitals scores. It won't hurt your LCP, CLS, or INP — making it safe to deploy on high-traffic landing pages and SEO-critical routes.
