Cursor reveal

A circular mask follows the pointer and uncovers a second layer under the first; arrow keys and taps move it too.

What it is for

Before/after or day/night image sections on landing pages, product theme previews.

Use it

1 · site.json
"effects": { "components": ["cursor-reveal"] }
or on the command line
node ~/.claude/skills/sitewright/scripts/scaffold.mjs --config site.json --out ./my-site --components cursor-reveal
2 · import it
import { CursorReveal } from '@/components/fx/ui';

Accessibility

  • Keyboard. Components in the kit are written to be reached and used with the keyboard. Try it: press Tab inside the preview.
  • Reduced motion. With prefers-reduced-motion on, animation settles to its finished state at once.
  • Touch. Pointer-follow effects are skipped on touch screens; controls stay finger-sized.
