The viral spotlight reveal — a hidden vivid layer lives under the dark one, revealed only through a spotlight that follows your cursor.
Buttons are pulled toward your cursor inside a radius, then snap back with an elastic spring when you leave.
Move across the zone — images spawn along your path, bloom in and dissolve behind you.
Look at your cursor — it's been the orange dot this whole time. It becomes a ring over links, says VIEW over project cards, and DRAG over draggable stages (sliders, the 3D ring).
Cards rotate in 3D toward your cursor with a moving glare highlight; the inner layers sit at different depths so they pop.
The image floats 34px above the card plane.
Glare follows the cursor across the surface.
Springs back to flat when you leave.
Glowing neon light tubes braid and sweep after your cursor like fiber-optic ribbons — click to cycle the color set.
The full liquid trail reveal: the cursor deposits a fluid wake that warps and distorts the image as it reveals the second photo through the first, with chromatic fringing on the wet edges — then the wake heals and the original returns. The label flips color while the liquid is live. On touch, tap to swap.
Card borders only light up where your cursor is near — the glow tracks across the whole grid like a torch over glass. The premium SaaS look.
The glow is pure CSS variables — zero canvas, zero lag.
A mask trick keeps the gradient on the 1px ring.
One listener drives every card at once.
Reads as premium on any near-black surface.
Works on pricing tables, feature grids, bento layouts.
A faint interior wash follows the ring for depth.
A field of dots flees from your cursor and springs back home when you leave — the background feels alive without stealing focus.
These are the effects you hearted — from every wing.
