Show HN: Encursors – Make Static Sites Lively with Real-Time User Cursors (github.com)
3 points by anfragment 747 days ago
I’m excited to share Encursors, a tool that injects a little life into static webpages by showing real-time cursor movements of visitors. It can turn your website into a fun, interactive space where you can see the activity of others as they explore your content. It’s a fun way to visualize engagement and adds a sense of communal experience, making the web just a little less lonely.

For developers interested in trying it out or contributing, Encursors is open source and free to use. Check out the demo (https://anfragment.github.io/encursors) to see it in action, or easily add it to your own site with a one-line script tag.

I get this error in the dev console:

> Mixed Content: The page at 'https://anfragment.github.io/encursors/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://prod-encursors-ypdi.encr.app/cursors?url=https://anfr...'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

I recall a blog that was posted to HN that used a similar feature. The other cursors looked like your own cursor so there were meta-comments about that (it was confusing!)
