Measured entry

tripled-liquid-cursor-shadcnui

cursor-effectliquid-glassmotion on file

A client-only React cursor trail rendered on a fixed, full-viewport canvas, with an embedded SVG filter merging colored particles into a liquid effect. It ships as a shadcn registry component, declares React and Framer Motion, uses utility classes for its overlay, and listens to global pointer movement while running its own animation loop.

Verdict

A credible drop-in accent that builds and mounts cleanly, but it is best treated as source to refine rather than a finished accessibility-aware effect. The global listener, perpetual animation loop, random palette, and dominant overlay stacking deserve review before production use.

Use it if

  • You want a decorative desktop pointer trail that can sit above an entire landing page.
  • Your app already supports client components and a persistent full-viewport overlay.
  • You are comfortable adapting the fixed color palette and randomized particle behavior to your brand.

Skip it if

  • Your experience is primarily touch or keyboard driven, where the effect has little to react to.
  • You need reduced-motion handling or an animation that pauses when idle without modifying the source.
  • Your interface already uses top-layer overlays whose stacking order must remain strictly controlled.
  • You need deterministic visuals for screenshots, recordings, or tightly governed brand output.

In a non-shadcn project, add React and the registry-declared Framer Motion package, keep the component behind a client boundary, and provide Tailwind utilities or equivalent CSS for the fixed full-screen, non-interactive overlay and canvas sizing. Framer Motion is declared by the registry but is not imported by this implementation.
