I started using this plugin as soon as it launched and I’m really liking it so far. The cursor animation feels smooth and clean, and it adds a nice modern touch to my site without being distracting. Setup was quick and everything worked perfectly with my theme right away. Simple plugin, but it does exactly what I needed.
