Hang Hover Effect
A sale tag on a cord drops on hover, then bobs on it like a bungee while the cord stretches to match. The tag and the cord run twin animations with the same timing, so they never drift apart.
Also known as: hvr-hang, hanging tag hover css, bungee drop hover.

}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.
