Opinionated mouse selection

After noticing that applying gravity to the mouse pointer is, with a simple implementation, unintuitive, I tried to figure out another way to make element selection easier.

The idea was: if a user moves their mouse towards a control element, he probably wants to select it. Even if the user is not there yet, they should know that the website understands their intent and therefore should be able to click it.

Enable on this website! - Disable

Most of the time, this approach worked well! For multiple elements close to each other, it would sometimes be hard to figure out which one the user was moving towards. This made the selection glitch.

At the end I decided against using it. It's quite cool nevertheless!
