WHAT IT DOES

A dense field of modular pixels gathers into live typography and loosens around the pointer without sacrificing the word silhouette.

BEST FOR
  • Identity studies
  • Title treatments
  • Type-led campaign moments
KEY FEATURES
  • Text-mask sampling gives every pixel a stable home inside the live word
  • Spring integration lets the field loosen locally and rebuild without a reset
  • Density-aware budgets preserve the silhouette on compact canvases
  • Pixel shape, scatter radius, and cursor pressure tune independently
  • Every live control maps to the component's own motion and rendering contract
  • The protected source is a complete portable React and CSS implementation
PERFORMANCE

Adaptive sampling, capped DPR and visibility-based suspension keep the renderer predictable. Test density on low-power mobile hardware before increasing it.

INTERACTION

Pointer and touch coordinates are container-scoped; offscreen renderers stop work and pixel ratio is capped.

ACCESSIBILITY

The visual canvas is decorative by default. Pair it with a semantic heading or description, and reduced motion holds a stable rendered frame.

BEHAVIOR

Built to move without taking over.

  • Text-mask sampling gives every pixel a stable home inside the live word
  • Spring integration lets the field loosen locally and rebuild without a reset
  • Density-aware budgets preserve the silhouette on compact canvases
  • Pixel shape, scatter radius, and cursor pressure tune independently
  • Every live control maps to the component's own motion and rendering contract
  • The protected source is a complete portable React and CSS implementation

SOURCE STATUS

Portable implementation included in the verified MIT open-source package.
