WHAT IT DOES

A dim editorial paragraph carries a soft pointer-led light that exposes the bright reading layer only inside its local radius.

BEST FOR
  • Identity studies
  • Title treatments
  • Type-led campaign moments
KEY FEATURES
  • A dim base paragraph and bright reading layer share exact line metrics
  • The local radial mask follows pointer and keyboard coordinates inside the frame
  • Beam radius, feather, and exposure remain separately tunable
  • Persistent mode provides an intentional pilot light before any interaction
  • 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

No animation package or external preview asset is required. Layout is container-scoped and decorative motion is disabled when reduced motion is requested.

INTERACTION

Pointer, touch, horizontal trackpad and keyboard states use the same underlying component state.

ACCESSIBILITY

Native landmarks and controls preserve reading order, visible focus and keyboard access. Motion never carries the only meaning.

BEHAVIOR

Built to move without taking over.

SOURCE STATUS
