I like it, but it should just be visual. It jacks my default scrollpad/mouse behavior, which is the annoying part.

Perhaps add a hook below the usual mouse real pointer and have a fish that is just a decoration that slowly swims to it.

interesting, I like the idea

yup I got similar feedback from other batchmatches, gonna fix this.

Agreed. Feels icky. Made me want to leave the page as quickly as possible again.

We got a little too excited about the fish theme. Noted for the next iteration.

^ no way this was tested by anyone with eyes before it was deployed

I am a fan of the fish cursor. We should make the internet quirky again. This is like a modern take on Geocities websites, and they should do things like fish cursors now while they still can before a board of VCs comes in and makes them remove the fish cursor.

Ha, thank you. We figured if we are building robots for fish we might as well commit to the bit. Enjoy it while it lasts.
