# matinee

> A React component for staged cursor performances. A programmable ghost cursor that drives your real app with real events, moving like a hand rather than a tween, then exports the performance as a self-contained animated SVG, a WebM recording, or a PNG still.

matinee solves a documentation and marketing problem: product demos are normally screen-recorded or faked in After Effects, so they go stale the moment the UI changes. With matinee the demo is code, so it can be rerun after a redesign, reviewed as a diff, and reproduced per locale or plan or theme.

Current version: 0.1.2. React >=18 as a peer dependency. Zero runtime dependencies.
