Source and licence
Source: xiyu519/MotionVault@0d74e8b8948d
Author: 2026 MotionVault Contributors
Entry: src/components/effects/text/LetterHoverPreview.tsx
- Converted from MotionVault (xiyu519/MotionVault, MIT, "Copyright (c) 2026 MotionVault Contributors") into a native pattern: plain HTML/CSS/JS on the design tokens, with the Web Animations API, CSS and canvas 2D as its only engines. The shipped files are the conversion; the MotionVault source files (source.paths, at source.commit) are not shipped.
- New to the library: the hovered letter lifts and its neighbours follow at a distance.
- A word whose letters are each an inline block: hovering one springs it up 8px, grows it to 140% and turns it 6 degrees (alternating direction), and its two direct neighbours inherit 15% of that for a rubber-band feel, all on a springy transition and back on leave. Pure CSS with :has(). Focusing the word runs the same bounce along its letters, in turn, for keyboard users.
- Credited author: 2026 MotionVault Contributors (MotionVault, https://github.com/xiyu519/MotionVault).
- Passed the accessibility gate on 2026-10-09: hosts, render, keyboard, focus, axe, reduced, tokens, motion (scripts/ui-waves/pipeline.ts, run by scripts/motionvault/build.ts). axe-core 4: no violations at rest or after activation (WCAG 2.2 A/AA + best practice). Colour contrast is reported, not gated: passes.
- Preview recorded: previews/poster.webp, previews/preview.webm, previews/thumb.webp.
