How User Cursor behaves
CURSOR DESIGN: - A sharp macOS-style arrow (SVG path) anchored at its tip, fill color configurable - A rounded label pill renders BEHIND the arrow (so the arrow tip is always on top), showing the 'name' text, colored by 'color' with dark text - Pill padding, radius and font scale proportionally with 'size' MOTION: - Arrow follows the pointer with a snappy spring (stiffness 380, damping 32, mass 0.6) - Label trails behind with a laggier spring (stiffness 220, damping 26, mass 0.7) and a fixed offset from the arrow - Label tilts/rocks with horizontal velocity, capped at 'labelTiltStrength' - Arrow scales down on press ('pressScale') with a spring bounce and returns on release - Native cursor hidden only while pointer is over the frame; skipped on coarse/touch pointers TECH: React + TypeScript + framer-motion (useMotionValue, useSpring, useTransform, motion) Props: name, arrow, label, color, textColor, size, labelTiltStrength, showLabel, offsetX, offsetY, labelOffsetUseDefault, labelOffsetX, labelOffsetY, pressScale, style.
