Pixelated Section Block — Tech Before/After Variant

What it does

• Auto-built responsive pixel grid — the overlay grid rebuilds itself for desktop, tablet, and mobile so the pixels always feel right at any width
• Random-stagger cover phase — pixels fade in across the stage in a random order rather than a uniform sweep, giving the moment a glitchy, deliberate texture
• Silent panel swap — while the grid is fully opaque, the underlying content quietly switches from before to after
• Slower random reveal phase — pixels fade back out with a gentler stagger so the new content feels like it's settling into place
• Two trigger modes — the block can fire on scroll (once per page) or on click of a monospaced 'run refactor()' style button
• Revert toggle and resize handling — a 'revert to before' link plays the transition in reverse, and the pixel grid rebuilds itself if the window resizes

Best use cases

• Code refactor and engineering courses — show before/after diffs as a real moment, not a screenshot
• Devtools, no-code, and API courses — compare old and new workflows side by side
• Design-system courses — show un-tokened CSS becoming tokenized
• AI and prompt-engineering courses — naive prompt becomes engineered prompt
• Cybersecurity and DevOps lessons — vulnerable config becomes hardened config

What you can change with your DNA

When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:

• Colors — tech-dark palette with slots for near-black background, two surface tones, a three-step text scale, an electric accent (drives the pixel color too), and a warm 'before' marker color. Swap the accent to cyan, violet, or amber to retune.
• Fonts — two roles: a clean sans for body content and a monospaced face for chrome, code blocks, and button labels. Mono swaps in cleanly to match your developer brand.
• Copy — lesson meta + title + lede; before panel (eyebrow, headline, note, code block, three footer pills); after panel (same scaffold); button labels; teaching note; scroll-trigger marker copy
• Images — code blocks by default, but the panels can hold screenshots, mockups, or diagrams to repurpose this for non-code before/after lessons
• Behavior — three timing controls (cover stagger, reveal stagger, swap moment), plus pixel density (how many columns the grid uses) and the scroll-trigger threshold
