Yes, there are several video tutorials and active websites available that can help you create a single vertical line with staggered boxes and years that show up as you scroll down in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this effect:

  1. Create a new Webflow project and add a section to your page where you want the vertical line to appear.

  2. Add a div block to the section and give it a class name, for example, "vertical-line-container". Set the position of this div block to "relative".

  3. Inside the "vertical-line-container", add a div block for each staggered box and year. Give these div blocks appropriate class names, for example, "staggered-box" and "year".

  4. Style the "vertical-line-container" by giving it a fixed width of, let's say, 2 pixels and a height of 100%. Set the background color to the color you desire for the vertical line. You can also adjust the position of the line using the top and left properties.

  5. Style the "staggered-box" div blocks to achieve the desired look for each box. You can set the width, height, background color, border, and other properties according to your design.

  6. Style the "year" div blocks to achieve the desired look for each year. You can set the font size, color, and position.

  7. To make the boxes and years show up as you scroll down, you can use Webflow's "Interactions" feature. Add an interaction trigger to the section where the boxes and years are located.

  8. Inside the interaction panel, add a new action and choose the "Scroll" trigger. Set the trigger to the desired scroll position where you want the boxes and years to appear. For example, you can set the trigger to 50% of the section's height.

  9. Choose the "Display" action and set it to "Block" for the "staggered-box" and "year" div blocks. This will make them appear when the scroll trigger is reached.

  10. You can also add other animation effects like fade-in or slide-in to make the appearance more dynamic. Experiment with the available options in Webflow's interaction panel to achieve the desired effect.

Video tutorials and active websites that might be helpful for creating this effect in Webflow include:

  • Webflow's official YouTube channel, which offers a comprehensive collection of video tutorials on various aspects of Webflow, including creating custom animations and scrolling effects.

  • The Webflow University website, which provides step-by-step tutorials and guides specifically tailored to Webflow users. They have a section dedicated to interactions and animations.

  • Community forums and websites where Webflow users share their experiences and provide tips and tricks for achieving specific effects. Websites like Webflowinsider.com and community.webflow.com can be valuable resources for finding insights and examples.

Overall, by following these steps and referring to available resources, you should be able to create a single vertical line with staggered boxes and years that show up as you scroll down in Webflow.
