Lens Dots

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/lens-dots.tsx.

Install the pastetaste component "Lens Dots" (lens-dots) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: A dot grid with a spring-driven lens under the pointer: the grid swells outward and the dots grow and take the accent colour. One 2D canvas that stops when idle.

Before you place it, ask me (one short message, in my language; "skip" = sensible default): which page and section it goes in, my brand colour (hex), the text, labels or images it should show, and whether I want my logo or my own copy in the demo content. Then:

Steps:
1. If the project has no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -y -d. Then run: npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/lens-dots.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/lens-dots.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { LensDots } from "@/components/pastetaste/lens-dots" (check the file for the exact named export).
3. Put it where it fits on the page I name, keep the rest of the page untouched, and pass props for my colours instead of editing the installed file.
4. It does not depend on Tailwind; colours come from CSS variables (--pt-*) or props.
5. It supports prefers-reduced-motion with a still state; do not remove it.

Props (all optional unless the type has no default):
- color: string = computed CSS color — Resting dot colour; inherits `color`.
- accent: string = '#ff5a36' — Colour of dots inside the lens.
- gap: number = 26 — Distance between dots in px.
- size: number = 1.5 — Dot radius in px.
- radius: number = 190 — Radius of the lens in px.
- bulge: number = 0.9 — How far the grid is pushed outward at the centre, 0 to 1.4.
- lift: number = 1.1 — How much the dots grow at the centre of the lens.
- opacity: number = 0.32 — Resting opacity of the grid.
- roam: boolean = true — A ghost lens wanders across the grid while the real pointer is idle.

Then run the dev server, check it in the browser at desktop and mobile width, and tell me the page URL.
