What You'll Create

The Problem It Solves

Standard blog grids show static images that don't respond to user interaction. This technique creates dynamic visual feedback where images appear and follow cursor movement, making content exploration more engaging.

Perfect For

Creative blogs, Portfolio journals, Design studios, Editorial sites, Photography blogs.

What Makes This Different

JavaScript tracks mouse position and updates image placement in real-time. CSS positions images absolutely with opacity transitions. The effect activates only on desktop to ensure mobile performance.
