# Traveling Dot Nav

> Sidebar table of contents where one indicator dot flies to the clicked item, docks, nudges the label right and paints a wave of the section colour through it before it settles back to dark. Inspired by Gustavo's design (@heyimgustavo on X): https://x.com/heyimgustavo/status/2095140394296123570
