Icon burst — Glaze / Spotify / Apple

The new Spotify icon has been everywhere. I used it as a starting point.

Saw the Glaze landing page a while back. @Pedro Duarte has been talking about it. That icon burst animation stuck with me.

So I rebuilt the effect. Spotify's redesign at the center. Native Apple apps bursting outward in every direction. Pure CSS, radial offset math, some timing control.

Not a framework. Maybe 80 lines of code and one idea borrowed from a great landing page.

The result looks like an ecosystem reveal dressed as a system crash. Which is exactly the kind of moment a hero section should create.

If you're building something like Glaze and need someone who reverse-engineers your animations for fun — @Pedro Duarte, I'm available. Still waiting on that invite.
