Gravity well button

Pulls orbiting particles toward the pointer while preserving a stable native action target. Pointer proximity bends contained particle paths; click collapses and resets the orbit. Its continuous proximity field is structurally distinct from the existing magnetic orbit control.

Implementation field notes

Use gravity well button confidently.

The preview and source are only the starting point. Use these notes to decide where the component fits, preserve its accessibility contract, and verify the adapted result.

Good fit for

  • Product actions
  • Creative tools
  • Conversion moments

This effect actions pattern works best when its purpose is clear in the surrounding page hierarchy.

Accessibility contract

  • Every interactive target is a labelled native control with a visible focus treatment.
  • State changes are communicated through a polite text status and never by color alone.
  • The contained visual effects stop when the user requests reduced motion.

Integration plan

  1. Copy the standalone HTML and scoped CSS into an isolated page.
  2. Adapt primary accent, secondary accent, surface color, text color through the Inspector.
  3. Connect the defensive JavaScript, then test every control with a keyboard.
  4. Review the result at 375, 768, 1024, and 1440 pixels before shipping.
