Spotlight Group

Buttons 1

About

A toolbar of icon buttons that share a single pointer-tracked spotlight glow lighting up whichever buttons are nearby, with toggleable pressed states for formatting actions.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Spotlight Group to your project and fits it to your theme.

How Spotlight Group is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.
