About Glass Dock

Glass Dock is a macOS-inspired dock bar where each icon scales up as your cursor approaches, with spring physics that propagate gently to the neighbouring icons. The glassmorphism backdrop, blur, and edge highlight all use native backdrop-filter so the dock picks up the page behind it. Motion handles the proximity-based scaling without re-rendering each icon, which keeps things smooth even with a dozen entries. Use it as the navigation rail for an editor, dashboard, or web-app shell that wants a tactile, desktop-class feel.
