border-beam

Give one card or CTA a lively accent: a small bright comet of light travels around its border. Brighter/livelier than shine-border — use for a single "new"/"featured" element, one per view. Pure CSS; fully static under prefers-reduced-motion.

# border-beam

A bright comet that travels an element's border. Part of
[motion-anything](https://github.com/nexu-io/motion-anything); obeys `MOTION-SPEC.md`. Technique
popularized by Magic UI, reimplemented dependency-free (pure CSS).

## When to use it
- A single "new" / "featured" card or a hero CTA that should feel lively for a beat.

## When NOT to use it (restraint)
- Several at once (competing beams = noise). **One per view.**
- Calm/serious contexts — or when a quieter full-border glow fits: use **shine-border** instead.

## How to apply
