About this item
Buoy is a compact navigation dock packed with micro-interactions. It springs in on load, shrinks out of the way when the user scrolls down and returns when they scroll up. A glossy highlight glides between Home, Search, Likes and Cart, the search icon expands the dock into a full search field, and tapping Likes releases a burst of gradient hearts.
Reacts to scrolling
Framer Motion's scroll tracking shrinks the padding and icons when scrolling down and restores them on the way up, keeping content visible without hiding navigation.
Delight in every tap
Shared-layout active highlight, an inline expanding search, a cart count badge and a heart-particle burst make a four-icon dock feel premium.
