Magnetic Cursor Tailwind Close Button

The award-site magnetic button: inside a 170px field the button leans toward the cursor and the × leans further, a parallax that makes the glyph feel attracted. The script writes four custom properties; Tailwind reads them with translate-x-(--tcb14-mx). On leave, group-data-releasing/zone: swaps in an elastic overshoot curve. Because translate and scale are separate properties, active:scale-92 presses without cancelling the pull.

What changed in the port

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

  • transform: translate3d(var(--mx),var(--my),0) became translate-x-(--tcb14-mx) translate-y-(--tcb14-my), and .is-releasing became a data-releasing attribute read by group-data-releasing/zone:.
  • Bug fix: the original's :active rule had to repeat the translate; forgetting it snapped the button home mid-press. v4's separate scale property removes that trap.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the magnet ignores touch and pen input (it fought the finger on phones), the field is shown with a faint dashed ring so users can discover it, and the accent brightened to 0.78 for 9:1 on the dark stage.

## JavaScript
```js
(() => {
  const zone = document.getElementById('tcb-14-zone');
  if (!zone || zone.dataset.wired) return;
  zone.dataset.wired = '1';
  if (matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)').matches) return;
  const MAX = 14;
  const clamp = (v) => Math.max(-MAX, Math.min(MAX, v));
  const set = (mx, my, gx, gy) => {
    zone.style.setProperty('--tcb14-mx', mx + 'px');
    zone.style.setProperty('--tcb14-my', my + 'px');
    zone.style.setProperty('--tcb14-gx', gx + 'px');
    zone.style.setProperty('--tcb14-gy', gy + 'px');
  };
  zone.addEventListener('pointermove', (e) => {
    if (e.pointerType !== 'mouse') return;
    zone.removeAttribute('data-releasing');
    const r = zone.getBoundingClientRect();
    const dx = e.clientX - (r.left + r.width / 2);
    const dy = e.clientY - (r.top + r.height / 2);
    set(clamp(dx * 0.3), clamp(dy * 0.3), clamp(dx * 0.45), clamp(dy * 0.45));
  });
  zone.addEventListener('pointerleave', () => {
    zone.setAttribute('data-releasing', '');
    set(0, 0, 0, 0);
  });
})();
```

How this works

JS writes numbers, Tailwind owns the look.

zone.style.setProperty('--tcb14-mx', clamp(dx * 0.3) + 'px');
<button class="translate-x-(--tcb14-mx) translate-y-(--tcb14-my) duration-80 …">

Composition for free. The CSS original had to restate translate3d(var(--mx),var(--my),0) scale(.92) in :active. In v4 the press is just active:scale-92 — it lives on the scale property and never touches translate.

Make it yours

  • Stronger pull: raise MAX (14px) and the 0.3 / 0.45 multipliers.
  • Larger field: size-[170px] → size-60.
  • Softer release: cubic-bezier(.34,1.4,.44,1) for less overshoot.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Initialise the variables on the zone ([--tcb14-mx:0px]) or the first frame reads an invalid translate.
  • Respect reduced motion in the script as well as in CSS — the handler exits early when it matches.
