Hey Hunters 👋 Let's start with a deep statement - life can feel a little boring at times, and it's the little things that can make difference. That's why I've always loved making ordinary things a little more fun. Blobity is a product of this exact pursue - making daily regular things, like browsing the web, a bit more playful and fun. While being mostly a fun-based idea, Blobity also brings a bit more clarity into what is clickable on the page and can be used to shed light on the purpose of some buttons with a tooltip. The library offers plenty of customization to make it fit any design because after all, it is a bit of a design niche library that simply needs to fit nicely. Apart from the customizations, there are also options to control the library with a JavaScript API, to make the integration with your web application so much more closer. The library is open-sourced under GPLv3 and offers a super simple commercial license too because let's face it, no one likes things complicated. Thanks, and enjoy. Cheers, Georgy

@yash094 Hey, please checkout the dev documentation on the link below. https://github.com/gmrchk/blobit... If you feel like there is a bug, that's surely possible. In such case please create a GH issue.

Is it possible to use an image or an SVG for the cursor? The ability to change the appearance of the cursor dynamically would be very helpful. Also, how are tooltips handled on mobile? This is very cool and I may purchase it if it fits my use case.

@zachary_jordan1 I was considering coming up with more features, like having SVG shapes, but I realised I have no idea what would be the use case for such things. GH issues are open for features requests! Regarding mobile, there is basically no support at all, since there is no mouse cursor. In general, it is just way easier to come up with your own replacement of whatever you need in your app, then setting up a cursor based library in some very specific non-cursor way, if that makes sense.

@gmrchk SVG shapes would absolutely make me more likely to purchase something like this for use in a commercial product. This first release looks quite nice, though!

iPadOS style cursor on the web. Great Idea!

I absolutely love your demo page - it's really powerful to be able to try it out on the site!

@kristie_howard2 Thanks! I think I’ve spent much more time on the docs actually. 😅

?makers I can't seem to figure out the free license, keeps returning with an error ("document.body is null"). I've tried my github username and opensource.

@gabriel_fonseca2 You've likely been creating (or auto creating) Blobity instance in the head tag. I've added a note about this mistake in the docs.
Gabriel
@gmrchk Ohhh I see. Thanks. Got it working now.
