Progressive Blur `.mv-progressive-blur`

Desenfoque progresivo de los bordes en CSS puro: capas de backdrop-filter apiladas y enmascaradas por franjas, en cualquier lado, con un desvanecido opcional hacia el color de fondo.

Categoría	Efectos
Tipo	CSS puro (`.mv-progressive-blur`)
Estado	estable
Keywords	blur, progressive-blur, gradual-blur, edge-blur, backdrop-filter, scroll, fade

When to use

A scrolling list or feed should soften into its edge instead of being cut off abruptly
A caption sits at the bottom of an image and the photo should gradually blur beneath it
A sticky header or bottom bar should blend smoothly into the content scrolling behind it

Avoid when

A scroll container only needs a thin scrollbar and a simple edge fade → use Scroll Area instead
The whole surface should be frosted evenly rather than blurred toward one edge → use Glass instead
Important text or controls would land in the blurriest part of the band

API

Attributes

Name	Tipo	Default	Description
`data-side`	top \| bottom \| left \| right	`bottom`	Edge toward which the blur increases.
`data-fade`	boolean		Adds a gradient to the background color (scrolling lists).

CSS classes

Name	Description
`mv-progressive-blur`	Absolute layer to place inside a positioned parent (that clips its corners). Holds 1 to 8 empty children (`<i>`): one blur layer each; 6 gives a very smooth gradient. With no children, 2 layers via pseudo-elements.

CSS variables

Name	Default	Description
`--mv-progressive-blur-size`	`35%`	Height (or width) of the band.
`--mv-progressive-blur-strength`	`16px`	Maximum blur, at the edge.
`--mv-progressive-blur-fade`	`var(--mv-bg)`	Fade color (data-fade).
`--mv-progressive-blur-z`	`2`	Layer z-index.

Accessibility

Decorative: aria-hidden and pointer-events: none, so the content underneath stays clickable and scrollable. No animation. Keep important text out of the blurriest area (or place the caption above it, as in the demo).
