Yes, it is possible to create a text-follows-cursor hover effect on a collection item in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to create the effect.
- Make sure you have a collection list on the page, which contains the collection items you want to apply the hover effect to.
- Select the collection item you want to add the effect to, and navigate to the Style panel on the right side of the designer.
- Click on the "+" sign next to the "Transitions" section to add a hover animation.
- In the hover animation settings, choose the "Transform" property.
- Click on the "+" sign next to the "Transform" property, and select the "Move" option.
- Set the "Move X" and "Move Y" values to "0px" to ensure the text stays directly under the cursor.
- Now, you can style the text label that you want to follow the cursor. You can adjust the font, size, color, and any other styling properties to suit your design.
- Lastly, you may want to add an interaction to hide the text label when the cursor moves away. To do this, select the collection item, go to the "Interactions" panel, and select the hover out interaction. Set the desired interaction effect, such as fade out or move out of the viewport.
By following these steps, you can create a text-follows-cursor hover effect on a collection item in Webflow. This effect can be a great way to add interactivity and engagement to your website design.
