The five latest posts were trapped in a swipe-one-by-one carousel. For navigation content, a plain vertical list is the honest pattern.

TL;DR: The author shipped a carousel for their latest blog posts, then found it tedious to use themselves. The realization: carousels suit fixed showcases like services, but blog lists are navigation, which needs everything scannable at once. They swapped it for a plain vertical list of five titles with dates, no JS or gestures.

Five service cards stacked on a phone became an endless scroll. A script-free carousel with CSS scroll snap turned out to be the honest middle ground.

TL;DR: The author turned five stacked mobile service cards into a pure CSS carousel using scroll snap, no JavaScript needed. Unlike typical carousels, it skips auto-rotation and shows an 80vw peek of the next card, so users know there's more. Desktop keeps the grid layout via a media query.
