About Tracing Beam

Vertical SVG beam on the left that lights up as you scroll through content.

Tracing Beam is a free animated component for React, built on shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS with motion animations that respect reduced-motion settings. It ships as 69 lines of TypeScript you own: every piece of copy is a prop with a sensible default, so you can drop it in and replace the content without touching the layout.
