Here’s another hero concept we rejected for our enterprise landing page. The wallet was simply too closely associated with payments and expense management.

A hero exploration for our recently launched landing page. We rejected it because the cursor felt too closely tied to Cursor, the company. Also, cursors are often used to represent multiplayer or collaboration capabilities.

Had fun working on this with the team. Let us know if we missed anything or if there’s something we could do better!

first shot // final iteration I now do most of my viz work code-first, using an AI coding agent (currently GPT 5.6 Sol) to generate the HTML/CSS/SVG. Before that, I would spend hours fiddling around in Figma, then copying over the SVG or trying to recreate it with code. For the tachometer, I wouldn't even have known how to create this in Figma. Thanks agents.

New section added to vercel.com/eve. Give it a spin and see how easy it is. Hint: you'll be amazed by how many third-party services you can connect your agent to.

The animation that comes with 𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗-𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚜 makes the highlights lag behind a fast cursor. Removing it makes it instant again.
