Linear's dithered logo is pretty freaking awesome

Emil Kowalski's dot interaction for Linear's logo, plus a prototype you can type into.

Emil Kowalski made an interaction for Linear's dithered logo. It's a canvas full of tiny dots, and as he puts it, "There's an invisible circle around the cursor." Dots inside it get pushed outward with a cubic falloff, gentle at the edge and strong in the middle.

This is pretty freaking awesome.

So I had my agent build a rough version of it, right here in the note. Type anything, try my face, or upload your own picture, then move your cursor (or finger) over the dots.
