Blend-Mode Cursor
A white disc in mix-blend-mode: difference trails the pointer with a 0.12 lerp, inverting headlines, a lime block and an image as it passes, swelling from 24px to 120px over links with a tiny label and pulsing a ring on click.

Featured light Cursor Spotlight Mask
A pitch-dark page where a feathered radial spotlight follows the pointer with lag and uncovers a procedural star-chart composition beneath; clicking pulses the circle wider, and keyboard users get a static centred spotlight.

Featured medium Image Trail Following Cursor
Moving the pointer across a dark stage leaves a trail of grainy gradient tiles: every 40px of travel a new tile blooms under the cursor with a slight twist, hangs for 0.6s and dissolves, stacking above the last.

light Wavy Text Hover
A two-line serif headline floats on a travelling sine wave: every character bobs, tilts along the slope and swells slightly on the crests. Near the pointer the amplitude rises sharply, then settles back to a lazy idle wave with inertia.

light Magnetic Button
Three pill buttons attract toward the pointer inside an invisible radius, their labels leading slightly for parallax, flood with colour from the entry point, and spring back with an elastic snap on leave.
