Rotating Circle Text Button
A round call to action with its label set around the rim. On hover the ring of text starts turning, the center disc grows and the arrow swings to point forward. The text follows an SVG textPath.
Also known as: circular text button, spinning text badge, text on a circle css.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--btn-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Base size: set
--btn-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing18px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
