Magnet lines

A field of short lines that all rotate to point at the pointer and glow as they near it; a virtual magnet roams when idle or on touch.

What it is for

Behind a hero or call-to-action section (first child of a position:relative section; fills its parent).

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.
