Blinking pointer for capturing user's attention

an example gif

Features:

  • capture user's attention with a blink!
  • efficient. only CSS. no jquery, no javascript
  • ships with multiple colours (white, black, red, yellow, purple, green, orange, pink)

Installation

On localhost

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ytbryan/blinking-pointer/master/blinking-pointer.css">

You should probably host this css yourself. This will avoid issue as github is not a cdn.

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/blinking-pointer.css">

Usage

<div class="">
  <a href="#">Putting this beside a hyperlink makes sense too.</a>
  <span class="circle-pointer">
    <span class="inner-circle-pointer red-circle"></span>
  </span>
</div>

<button type="button" name="button">This is a button
  <span class="circle-pointer">
  	<span class="inner-circle-pointer red-circle"></span>
  </span>
</button>

Motivation & caveat

I wish to use blinking pointer on all my existing projects to on-board my users.

The caveat is there should only be one blinking pointer on a single page. Too many blinking pointers back-fire and distract the users.
