Digital E-Guide Template

Use this template family for premium, metadata-rich, exploratory digital artifacts — designer portfolios, archival photo series, knowledge guides — that reward slow browsing instead of fast scrolling.

This template ships two variants. Pick before building.

Variants

case/ — Infinite-canvas portfolio (作品集)

On-disk path: case（无限画布：作品集）/case/index.html

• A Miro-like 3D-cylindrical canvas of 18 tiles you drag, zoom, and click to open case detail pages.
• Use for: designer 作品集, studio portfolio, photographer archive, case-study lobby.
• Distinctive moves: Three.js-style cylindrical projection, drag inertia, gold/dark glass UI, hash-routed detail pages, "Works / About / Resume" nav.
• Companion generator: see top-level ../vr-canvas/ template (modern frontmatter version).

social-carousel.html — 12-frame field-notes carousel

• A 50/50 photo + metadata carousel with 12 horizontal slides, progress bar, slide counter, scaling-on-focus serif title.
• Use for: digital ebook chapter navigation, photography series, "12 lessons from the field"-style guides, museum/archive viewer.
• Distinctive moves: Fraunces italic display that scales on active slide, Inter metadata, film-frame photo marks, 50/50 desktop split that stacks on mobile.

Use When

• The user wants a considered, curatorial browsing experience — not a marketing site, not a social card.
• Every item carries metadata (year, location, technique, brand, tags) and that metadata is part of the design.
• The audience is designers, creators, or curious readers who will spend minutes, not seconds.

Avoid When

• The artifact is a fast-conversion marketing page (use saas-landing/).
• The content has no per-item metadata to display (the template will feel empty).
• The user actually wants a flat blog index, dashboard, or social-card pack.
• Mobile is the dominant channel and rich interaction would degrade — both variants are desktop-leaning.

Required Reading

Read this SKILL.md first. Do not read case/index.html or social-carousel.html by default.

Read the chosen variant only when you need concrete interaction geometry — drag inertia easing, cylinder radius, slide-scale-on-focus curve, breakpoint behavior. Extract patterns; do not lift Three.js code, placeholder project names, or photo URLs wholesale.

Design Strategy

Pick the variant from the interaction contract, not the topic:

• "Let me wander a room of work" → case/
• "Walk me through 8–14 numbered entries" → social-carousel.html

Then commit to the metadata schema up front (year / category / location / brand …). The template only sings when every entry carries the same set of labels.

Layout Bias

Prefer:

• one dominant image per entry, full-bleed inside its frame
• metadata in mono / small-caps / Latin to contrast the serif display
• a single warm accent (gold, rust) over a dark or paper ground
• smooth eased motion (cubic-bezier), no bouncy springs
• generous negative space — the artifact's premium feel comes from restraint

Avoid:

• stacking multiple thumbnails per slide / tile (kills the curatorial feel)
• bright neon accents, gradient meshes, sticker decorations
• pop-in animations on every element — choose one motion idiom and hold it
• treating metadata as a footnote — surface it equally with the image
