Cursor trail

A trail of dots that follows the pointer, only inside its own box.

Dots follow the pointer and fade behind it, only inside the component's box; the page's cursor is never touched. A demo curve rests there before any pointer arrives, the arrow keys work too, and reduced motion keeps it still.

Build one with your agent

Paste this into your agent. It asks you before it signs in, pays or goes further than checking and publishing.

Build me a Taggor component like "Cursor trail" (cursor-trail): A trail of dots that follows the pointer, only inside its own box. Fetch https://taggor.dev/agent-setup/prompt.md and follow its instructions to set me up for Taggor. Ask me before you sign in, create an account, accept terms, pay for anything or type a secret. Check it with `taggor check` and publish it with `taggor publish`, and stop there. Do not promote it to production, attach it to a site, roll back anything or use --yes, --force or --force-drop-invalid unless I ask for exactly that in this conversation.
