Galaxy Vortex Tailwind Close Button

A spiral galaxy in a button: two conic-gradient arm layers counter-rotate at co-prime speeds (11s and 7s) via two typed @property angles, a ten-star field is a single box-shadow, and hover whips both arms up to 3.5s/2.2s with group-hover:[animation-duration:3.5s] as the × slowly spins and shrinks into the vortex.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Both spiral animations became @theme entries; the hover speed-up is an arbitrary property, group-hover:[animation-duration:3.5s], so the arms accelerate without resetting their angle.
  • Every inline oklch(… / .3) arm colour became a named translucent token (--color-tcb28-arm-a, --color-tcb28-arm-b2), so re-theming the galaxy is a two-line edit.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: keyboard focus accelerates the vortex and spins the × just like hover, and the stage caption rose to 7:1.

How this works

Co-prime periods never sync. 11s and 7s only realign every 77s, so the arms' interference pattern keeps changing — the galaxy looks alive rather than looped.

--animate-tcb28-arm-a: tcb28-arm-a 11s linear infinite;
--animate-tcb28-arm-b: tcb28-arm-b 7s linear infinite reverse;
@keyframes tcb28-arm-a { to { --tcb28-a: 360deg; } }

Why change duration, not the animation. Swapping animation-duration keeps the current angle; swapping the animation name would jump the arms back to zero.

Make it yours

  • Palette: edit --color-tcb28-arm-a / arm-b.
  • Calmer idle: 20s / 13s periods.
  • More stars: append shadow layers — each is x y 0 spread colour.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Changing animation-duration mid-run can jump the angle slightly in some engines; it's barely visible at these speeds.
  • Without @property the arms are static but the button still works.
