Springy Squish Button
Grows slightly on hover and squishes down on press, with an overshooting easing curve so it feels springy rather than mechanical. Great for playful products and games.
Also known as: bouncy button, spring scale 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.
