Usually we see that mouse and pointer interactions are a bit difficult to implement in code, how about we provide access to some of the most common mouse interactions? We can also allow users to create their own custom interactions.

I would like to know your insights on this. We can make things a lot simpler for frontend developers and can aim to simplify what gsap does.

Ok so if you have visited very UI intensive website, the cursor is not your simple pointer, it’s actually interacting with the webpage, maybe tracing the path sometimes or doing things…for example have a look below at this

unikorns.agency

This is an example of how the cursor is not some simple pointer.

Actually, processing has very strong mouse commands

for example [cursor() / Reference / Processing.org](https://processing.org/reference/cursor_.html)

please be more specific
