Scrolling animation for section on Website. - css

Question

I’m working on my portfolio website and I was wondering how do I make a block of text appeared when I scrolled down the website? So when someone scroll down, say example my About me section to appear on the left.

Answer 1

It depends on what kind of text effecton mouse scroll you are looking for. Here’s a nice little timeline I once used. You can change this to represent what you like:
HTML
<div class="stem-wrapper">
<div class="stem"></div>
<div class="stem-background"></div>
</div>
<header class="section header">
<div class="section-inner">
<div class="master-head">
<h1 class="page-title">Colored Stem</h1>
<p class="page-description">Your bones don't break, mine do. That's clear. Your cells react to bacteria and viruses differently than mine. You don't get sick, I do. That's also clear. But for some reason, you and I react the exact same way to water.</p>
<p class="scroll-button" onClick="$('.post-wrapper .post:first-child .stem-overlay .icon').click();">Ready to go for a ride?</p>
</div>
</div> <!-- section-inner -->
</header> <!-- header -->
