Sheet
A secondary surface that animates over primary content from a specific edge.
$ npx verticallyworks add sheetDesign question
Should a sheet animate from screen geometry (edges) or reading direction (where the reader came from)?
Edge comparison
Screen geometry. Feels like a new layer · natural on horizontal phones, ambiguous in vertical context.

Guidance
Do
- Choose animation direction based on semantic relationship to content
- Use spring easing with slightly higher stiffness than horizontal equivalents
- Always provide a visible dismiss handle and Escape key support
Don't
- Animate from the right in an RTL interface · it travels against reading flow
- Open sheets with fade only · directional entry communicates spatial relationship
- Use sheets for content that needs to be compared with what's behind it
