Liquid Goo Tailwind Close Button (SVG Filter)

Metaballs in utilities: a blurred, re-thresholded SVG filter applied with [filter:url(#tcb15-goo)] fuses a main blob and two droplets into one liquid shape. Hover (or keyboard focus) flings the droplets out on a back-and-overshoot curve with group-hover/stack:translate-x-[38px], and the surface tension visibly snaps as they separate.

What changed in the port

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

  • translate(calc(var(--fling) * 1), calc(var(--fling) * -0.7)) became literal translate-x-[38px] -translate-y-[27px] — the maths is done once, at authoring time.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the goo darkened from oklch(0.65) to 0.6 so the white × clears 4.5:1 on it, and the focus ring moved to a deeper ink that separates from the pink blob.
  • UI upgrade: keyboard focus now flings the droplets too (group-has-[:focus-visible]/stack:), and reduced motion pins them with translate-0!.

How this works

Blur + threshold = liquid. The filter blurs everything, then multiplies alpha by 18 and subtracts 7: soft overlaps become solid, soft edges become crisp. Two blobs near each other therefore read as one stretched droplet.

<div class="absolute inset-0 grid place-items-center [filter:url(#tcb15-goo)]">
  <span class="size-4 … group-hover/stack:translate-x-[38px] group-hover/stack:-translate-y-[27px]">

The button sits on top, unfiltered, so its × stays pin-sharp while the goo moves underneath.

Make it yours

  • Stickier goo: raise stdDeviation to 8 and the matrix to 22 -9.
  • Farther fling: change the translate distances (the droplets are clipped by nothing, so the stage is the limit).
  • Colour: edit --color-tcb15-goo; the filter preserves it.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • SVG filter ids are document-global — keep them namespaced (tcb15-goo) when several demos share a page.
  • Filters force a repaint every frame the droplets move; keep the filtered layer small.

filter:url() on HTML is universal; the floor is Tailwind v4.
