Feature description
Add a customizable animated cursor effect to enhance the visual experience and interactivity of the application.
Problem this solves
The application currently uses the default browser cursor, which feels less interactive compared to the modern UI design of the platform. Adding a custom animated cursor would improve engagement and provide better visual feedback for interactive elements.
Proposed solution
Implement a smooth animated cursor effect that:
- Follows the user's pointer smoothly
- Adds hover interactions for buttons and clickable elements
- Matches the application's design style
- Works efficiently without affecting performance
- Falls back to the default cursor on mobile/touch devices
Possible implementation:
- Use JavaScript for cursor tracking
- Use CSS transitions/animations for smooth movement and hover effects
- Add conditional rendering for desktop-only support
Alternatives considered
Users can continue using the default browser cursor, but it provides a less immersive and interactive experience compared to modern UI patterns used in creative web applications.
Additional context
This would be a frontend UI/UX enhancement focused on improving interactivity and visual polish across the application.
I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC'26.
