Watch the video, follow the steps, and try it in your next build.
I like how alphabet react with the fish great idea 🎉🎉🔥🔥
Yes ! Me too
Well done
Great work
Thank you
A goldfish chasing the cursor on a Water Creatures hero is the kind of small delight that makes a site feel alive. Good call on keeping the effect simple, the best cursor interactions are the ones that never slow the page down.
This is what a true creativity
Nice one 👍
Nice 👌
Using an AI prompt to generate the cursor logic is a smart shortcut. Does it hold up on touch devices?
Yes it does
👍
Nice work
Thanks, I was literally looking for a way to implement this in my next portfolio build

15 seconds of smooth UI, editorial layouts, and micro-interactions.
Kept the micro-interactions snappy, typography expressive, and transitions buttery smooth.
Rate this UI animation from 1 to 10 in the comments, or tell me what you’d improve! 😉
Solid 10/10 bro! 🔥 Micro-interactions are super snappy and transitions are buttery smooth indeed. Editorial layout game is strong. Keep it up!
Lovely cohesive work, Alex. The motion is spot on!
If you’re a Creative in 2026, you should wake up every morning and Say “Thank You Ai “. 😂
Imagine a client wants a premium, animated website, but she only has 2 or 3 images.
A few years ago, you’d probably have to wait for her to organize another photoshoot, get more brand assets, or find a way to work with what you have.
But today? Give me just 2 good images and AI. 😂
I can create different product angles, lifestyle shots, campaign visuals, and all the assets needed to make that website look like the brand spent thousands on photography.
And the best part? The client doesn’t need to spend extra money on another photoshoot.
AI has genuinely changed the way we work
Of course, you still need good design skills and creative direction. AI won’t magically give you good taste.
But the possibilities we have today? Insane.
If you’re still refusing to learn AI as a creative in 2026, you’re making your own work unnecessarily difficult.
Btw this was built with Claude opus 5.5 + Higgsfield AI for the visuals
