ASCII Cursor Trail is a playful interactive cursor effect for Framer, designed to turn simple mouse movement into a dynamic trail of blocks, symbols, and glitch-inspired motion.
It brings a retro digital feeling to your website without overwhelming the layout — perfect for creative portfolios, studio websites, experimental landing pages, product showcases, and visual-first brands.
Most websites feel static. This component adds a small but memorable layer of interaction that makes visitors want to move, explore, and stay longer.
The effect creates a distinctive visual signature: bold ASCII characters, scattered pixel-like blocks, and a responsive trail that follows the user’s cursor with a raw, creative-tech aesthetic.
