Text Label Cursor
A cursor that says what a click will do: cross a gallery tile and a small pill reading 'View' blooms under the pointer, a draggable strip says 'Drag', a link says 'Open'. Each target sets its own word, and the pill shrinks to a dot between targets.
The mechanic
The pill is a 10 px accent dot at rest. On entering a labelled target the script writes the word into it and adds `.show`; the pill transitions `width` from 10 px to `auto` through a CSS `interpolate-size: allow-keywords` fallback (max-width 0 → 200 px), with the text fading in 80 ms after. The pill follows the pointer with a 0.1 lerp for a hint of weight.
How to use it
From prompt to a block in your page.
- 01Try the component
The preview is the shipped element inside a neutral demo page. Hover, click, focus: the one interaction it is about is live.
- 02Pick a palette
Token sets re-tint it live. The prompt carries the one you chose.
- 03Pick your stack
A paste-in snippet, or a component for Next.js, React, Vue, Astro, WordPress, Shopify or Webflow.
- 04Copy the prompt
It quotes the markup, styles and script verbatim with the tokens and the rules that keep it self-contained.
- 05Mount it in your layout
It inherits your page's font and width; the tokens live on :root; several instances share one script.
