Measured entry

ruixen-particle-text-dots

cursor-effectunclassifiedmotion on file

A client-side React canvas component that samples a text glyph into animated dots, then pushes and settles them in response to pointer movement. It ships as a shadcn registry TSX file and relies on browser canvas APIs, ResizeObserver, animation frames, Tailwind utilities, and a local cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge.

Verdict

A focused decorative effect that builds, mounts, and adapts cleanly in the prepared harness. It needs a shadcn-style setup out of the box, and teams should add semantic fallback text plus reduced-motion behavior before using it for meaningful copy.

Use it if

  • You want a decorative hero or campaign panel where a short label reacts to pointer movement.
  • Your React app already supports client components, Tailwind utilities, and a shadcn-style cn helper.
  • You can provide separate semantic text for the message represented by the canvas.

Skip it if

  • The rendered words must remain selectable, searchable, or exposed to assistive technology by this component itself.
  • Your interface must honor reduced-motion preferences without modifying the animation loop.
  • You need a lightweight static title rather than a continuously animated canvas.
  • Your design system cannot accommodate its fixed panel treatment, gradients, border, and shadow without source edits.

In a non-shadcn project, add Tailwind support for the supplied utility classes, install clsx and tailwind-merge, create or replace the local cn helper, and configure the import alias or change it to a relative path. Run it only on the client where canvas, ResizeObserver, pointer events, and animation frames are available.
