Hi @littlebean

Yes — it is possible on the Horizon theme, but it’s not built-in, so you’ll need a small custom Liquid + CSS (optional JS) solution. No app required.

It’s not a default feature but will need code. I have almost every time used a library called swiper.js for such use cases.

Easy to include in the theme files and implement scroll and other effects available.

Easiest and recommended solution is to use themestack for that
They have it available for pro plans

Hi @littlebean

You can get a horizontal continuous scroll by creating a custom section with a collection loop, and adding CSS flex and overflow-x scroll and scroll-snap. JavaScript can be used to make the movement continuous if so desired. Test this in a duplicate theme so as not to break your live site, and adjust timing to taste for smooth scroll.
