## What it is
A small JavaScript library that predicts which DOM element a user is about to interact with by analyzing mouse velocity and expected position using a voronoi-based approach. It exposes an onIntent callback with the predicted element and a confidence score.

## Use cases
- predict which link a user will hover next
- preload resources before a user clicks
- optimize UI interactions based on mouse intent
- implement a smarter bubble cursor
- trigger hover effects early based on mouse trajectory

## When to choose
- you want to speculatively preload content before a click
- you need lightweight mouse-intent prediction in the browser
- you want to improve perceived performance with early hover/click preparation

## When to avoid
- you need touch or keyboard interaction prediction
- you require high-accuracy intent detection beyond naive mouse trajectory heuristics
- the project needs actively maintained dependencies

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, performance
- platform: browser
- tags: mouse-prediction, intent-detection, preload, voronoi, dom, nodejs
