Grow Hover Effect
The Hover.css classic: the button scales up by a tenth when the pointer arrives and eases back when it leaves. One transform on the element, so it works on any button, card or image.
Also known as: hvr-grow, scale on hover css, hover.css grow.

Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--hfx-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Base size: set
--hfx-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing16px. - 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.
