Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹

I wanted to share an open-source library I've been building and refining called Spotlight.JS .

Why did I build it? I needed a dead-simple, highly customizable way to highlight DOM elements, build guided product tours, or draw user attention to specific UI components without pulling in bloated dependencies or heavy styling frameworks.

Key Features:

πŸš€ Zero Dependencies: Extremely lightweight and fast.

🎯 Precise Positioning: Automatic viewport boundary detection, custom offsets, and smooth scrolling.

🎨 Flexible Styling: Easy-to-override classes and smooth backdrop masking.
