My friend sent it late—one line in Slack:
“Copilot whipped up a cute avatar SVG. Eyes blink. Follows the cursor. Background gradient shifts with time. Drop it on the landing page?”
I opened it in a bare HTML file. No frameworks, no build, just raw. The page loaded like a quiet inhale.
A soft gradient climbed from sea-glass green to sky blue. The face was simple: button eyes, a calm half-smile, a beanie. Over the head, an oval rotated—thin and white, like the trace of a thrown ring. The eyes blinked—perfectly timed, not robotic, not looped. Each lid dragged a tiny shadow at the last frame, like it was reluctant to let go of sight.
