About Pro Button
Pro Button is the upgrade button: a colour band orbits the border, a glint sweeps the face and the sparkle twinkles.
Pro Button is an UI transition for React 19, styled with Tailwind CSS 4 and animated with Motion. It drops into Next.js, Vite, Remix or Astro through the shadcn CLI as a single file you own.

How it works
Conic and linear gradients animate on registered CSS properties.
The change it animates is also announced to assistive tech, and the motion is short enough never to block what the user wants to do. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.
Customizing Pro Button
