Can I clone this rotating, gradient, inner glow effect?

This video demonstrates recreating a CSS effect involving a rotating gradient with an inner glow. The creator initially tries using a mask and multiple gradients but ultimately finds a more elegant solution using the 'border-image' property, as discovered by examining the original creator's code. The creator also provides a link to the original code and mentions the use of Blue Sky, a social media platform.

Creating Rotating Gradient

• 00:00:20 The video's goal is to recreate a rotating gradient with an inner glow seen on another developer's CSS example. The creator begins by setting up a basic div with some text and a subtle gradient background, then introduces the 'conic-gradient' function to create the rotating gradient effect.

Custom Property Animation

• 00:04:10 The creator explores animating the gradient using a custom CSS property for rotation. Initially, they face challenges animating custom properties, requiring registration of the property using the '@property' rule and specifying an appropriate syntax type for the property. Once the animation is registered, they successfully animate the gradient to rotate infinitely.

Applying Mask to Gradient

• 00:07:32 The creator attempts to hide the outer parts of the gradient using a mask to achieve the desired inner glow effect. They explore using radial and linear gradients for the mask but face difficulties achieving the desired shape. This leads them to experiment with masking using multiple linear gradients.

Using Border-Image

• 00:19:30 The creator examines the original developer's code and discovers that they utilized the 'border-image' property with a conic gradient and a blur effect to achieve the desired result. The creator acknowledges that this approach is a more effective and elegant solution than their initial attempts, producing cleaner corners and a smoother glow.

Blue Sky Social Media

• 00:22:15 The creator mentions they found the CSS effect example on Blue Sky, a decentralized social media platform. They also suggest it as an alternative to other platforms, highlighting its growing popularity and providing a link to their own 'starter pack' for new users to help them get started on the platform.
