nice video, i really like mouse trailers if they arent to fancy but since most people dont like it when something follows your mouse, i tend to just not use them ^^
Yeah for sure, I would have to agree with this. Super cool but definitely not for every site. Seems like I see them more on portfolio sites than anything. They'd feel really out of place on RU-vid for instance haha
This is exactly the type of content I was looking for! Quick, very informative and, most of all, interesting. This is not the nth way to center a div or to recreate a boring website. I don't want to build yet another bootstrap template, I want to build awwwards worthy pages. Keep it up!
I feel like this would work perfectly for like a new social media website or something so someone can interact with a person’s content and be able to tell what type of content it is
I see your videos on loop, along with being content rich you expression is also comendable ❤️. Each word and part of the video is easy to understand thanks to your Video Editing skill.
i think it would be annoying af if we keep that always following a cursor (different computers may be slower and make that experience worse). But its a really cool idea to show it up when user moves cursor at item to tell them what function of that is. But its still better practice to tell user how he can interact with website without hovering mouse over stuff. Maybe that kind of interaction would be better in browser games like point and click. Thanks for the idea :D
Honestly I don’t like mouse trailers usually but I think this one could be cool if you only saw it when it hovered over the image so it looked like it expanded out of no where
Hey Hyperplexed! First of all thank you for this video, it helped me very much. Second, could you help me with the problem that the "trailer"-div stops moving as soon as I go over a canvas-element? I am trying to solve this problem since hours but nothing works, because the position has to be fixed... Best regards, Valentin Kunz
when i entered the last code, the cursor isnt tailing, what's the problem? (the ones when you make the trailer change when hovered on different data type)
Now change the color and render it on a full-screen--event-none--canvas every frame, blur and reduce opacity of that canvas each frame, and you get yourself a lightsaber.
bit of an odd case here but i just had my protein shake so im super full and the mouse trailer makes me feel pretty nauseous, but normally i also don't really like things lagging behind my mouse overall lol
Now what I want to do is find the operating system my code runs on, select the appropriate image of that OS' standard cursor, create a div with that image, have it translate to the cursor, hide the real cursor, and consequently make it so my website looks completely normal, with the normal cursor. But when you hover or click, I could implement animations and surprising visual flairs. The biggest issue I see here is getting the scale of the cursor right. I think the cursor looks differently sized on different computers, depending on screen size and user settings. But it's worth a shot. I'd be happy if it works on my screen only 😂
