About Grid Lines
Grid Lines connects a dot grid with thin segments and waits for the cursor to enter. When it does, a radial pulse fires from your pointer and ripples outward, lighting both dots and connecting strokes as it spreads. The whole composition is drawn into a single 2D canvas with Tailwind providing layout for the container around it. It works well as a hero backdrop where a single interaction signals "this site is alive", or as a section break on a long marketing page.
