Carousels are an often used design pattern on the web. They are used in a variety of contexts, from product listing pages to slideshow like content. OpenUI has explored a range of carousel designs, showing that the specific layout and appearance can vary dramatically. They are also provided by many frameworks as components, however implementing a carousel correctly is complicated and often results in inconsistent and sometimes inaccessible implementations on the web today.

There are a set of problems being solved by carousels, which we believe could be provided by a set of simple incremental CSS features, allowing developers to combine these CSS features to create the various designs in a completely customizable fashion. CSS-only component libraries could be built to further simplify this process with an eventual built-in style similar to customizable select.
