This is probably the funniest Codepen I found this year!

Simon Holdorf on October 18, 2019

This is rather a short post but I find this codepen by Bård N Hovde so awesome that I must share it with you: Amazing what you can do with Jav...

Ha, I saw this other day - it's fantastic :)

For anyone looking in the code for the 'trick' (of hiding the mouse), it's done by setting the cursor in JS on this line:

const screenStyle = cursorGrabbed ? { cursor: "none" } : {};

and then the fake mouse pointer is part of the hand graphic. Brilliant!

Oh, so there is a cursor trick! I've seen it on my mobile, where you can obviously just tap on things, so I hadn't caught on this feature.

Pretty fun, with a combination of fast mouse movements and right-click trickery, I managed to produce a waving hand without changing any of the code.

Brilliant use of CSS and logic. Had so much fun playing around with this.
And using the Chrome Dev Console, clicked the button using Javascript, this was the result.
Cool that the dev included that as well :)

Nice One!

Yes, it is! Click on the text above the button (to gain focus) and use TAB to select the button, now press SPACE or ENTER. You have pressed the button and it changes the caption to "Nice one".
While it is technically not "clickable", it is indeed "pressable", to use your own word ;)

Passing by the bottom-left corner you can go on the button :D

The most fun I had with this was keeping the pointer just out of reach. This probably says more about me than I'd rather admit. 🤣
