Great idea, although it is quite inconvenient that you have to tap/swipe to show the modern version (at least on mobile). Makes it difficult to compare.

Hey mate, what UX would you suggest? Happy to explore ideas!

For a better visualization to compare old/new, just click on the card and it will open that particular pattern in a new page.

Can you add a page where its just a list of all of them in a format like that? https://imgur.com/a/iO42lrs

I would love to just scroll through a page without having to click on individual cards to see both side by side.

Love the overall idea of what you did!

Done, updated!
Click to toggle. Hard to go back to „old“ version on mobile.
As others have stated, there is no point in a "reveal". Simply show the comparison upfront. User interaction should not be necessary as it only needs to be a plain old html document. You didn't need to write any script. When I got through a bit of it, I wasn't sure if I accidentally skipped something or missed a nuance.
What are you hiding information for? Just show both modes at the same time.
Maybe `ArrowLeft`/`ArrowRight` or `j`/`k` to flip through all of card pairs? Or just allow us to scroll through all the pairs. In either case, both old and new should be visible.
