CSS Like Heart Button

A like button with a springy heart pop, eight radial sparks and a count that rolls over — and not one line of JavaScript. State lives in a checkbox, the sparks are generated from a shared keyframe with per-child custom properties, and the count slides between two spans so the digits animate like an odometer.

How this works

The sparks are eight identical spans; each one only carries its own angle, so one keyframe drives all of them:

.cb-11__spark{ --a:0deg; rotate:var(--a); }
.cb-11__spark:nth-child(2){ --a:45deg; }  /* …through 315deg */

@keyframes cb-11-spark{
  0%{ opacity:0; scale:.2; translate:0 0; }
  30%{ opacity:1; }
  100%{ opacity:0; scale:.7; translate:0 -1.5rem; }
}

Because rotate is applied on the element and translate inside the keyframe, each spark flies outward along its own axis — the individual transform properties compose without a single long transform string.

The counter is two stacked spans inside a fixed-height, overflow:hidden window; checking the input slides the pair up by exactly one line:

.cb-11__count{ height:1.25rem; overflow:hidden; }
.cb-11__btn:has(input:checked) .cb-11__roll{ translate:0 -1.25rem; }

Accessibility: the input is a real checkbox with an aria-label, so it is announced as "Like this post, checkbox, checked" and toggles with Space. The heart fill and the count change are both visible without motion.

Make it yours

  • Add sparks by copying a span and giving it a new --a; the keyframe needs no change.
  • Change the spring by editing the linear() easing — more overshoot values equals a bouncier pop.
  • Recolour with --like; the heart fill, sparks, glow and active count all derive from it.
  • Turn it into a bookmark or upvote by swapping the SVG path — everything else is shape-agnostic.
  • For a real count, replace the second roll span with a server-rendered number; CSS only slides the window.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Two visually stacked numbers must be the same height as the window or the roll lands off by a pixel — set both in the same unit.
  • A checkbox-driven like button posts as form data if it sits in a form; add form="" or use a button with aria-pressed plus JS when that matters.
  • :has() on the wrapper is what lets the label react to the input; without it you need the sibling-combinator pattern and a specific DOM order.
  • Never animate the sparks with width/height — they are 4px dots, and layout animation on eight elements at once is the one thing that will drop frames here.
  • Don't hide the checkbox with display:none; it must stay focusable. The clip-path visually-hidden pattern is used here.

:has() needs Chrome 105 / Safari 15.4 / Firefox 121; linear() easing needs Chrome 113 / Safari 17.2 / Firefox 112 and falls back to the cubic-bezier declared first. Without :has() the heart still fills via :checked and only the count roll is lost.
