Cursor met label New

Over project cards the cursor turns into a round "View project" label, over a draggable strip into "Drag". Only on devices with a mouse (hover: hover and pointer: fine); on touch and keyboard they stay normal links with a focus ring. requestAnimationFrame with a light lag, no lag with reduced motion. Works in every browser.

How to use it

Paste the HTML where the components should appear.
Add the CSS to your stylesheet. All classes are prefixed, so nothing clashes with your own styles.
Add the JavaScript and call init() with the element that contains the HTML.
