CursorReveal

Hover you cusor over text for glow

Cursor Reveal turns any line of text into an interactive spotlight.

The text rests dim by default. As the cursor moves over it, a soft radial mask reveals a brighter copy underneath and follows the pointer with smooth, adjustable easing. A drop-shadow glow is generated from the revealed text and painted on an unmasked layer, so it blooms naturally beyond the glyphs — never clipped to the font's bounding box (the detail most cursor-glow effects get wrong).

It's inline, sizes to its own content, and drops into any heading, hero, or footer signature. Every part is a control — no code required.

Controls

- Text, Font Family, Weight, Size, Tracking — full type control; pairs beautifully with serifs like Instrument Serif

- Dim / Bright — the resting color and the revealed color

- Reveal Size — radius of the spotlight

- Follow — how tightly the light trails the cursor (snappy → floaty)

- Glow + Strength — toggle the bloom and dial its intensity

Works in light or dark, respects static rendering, and is built for performance (RAF-driven, GPU-friendly transforms).
