# RSS animated icon

> MIT-licensed RSS animated icon: plays once on hover. Use it in React or shadcn/ui, or get the Lottie JSON or SVG.

RSS is a 1.33 s micro animation from the communication set that plays once on hover, like At Sign and Phone Forwarded. Hover-to-play icons typically liven up arrow links, feature lists, toolbar buttons and landing page cards.

## FAQ

### Why doesn't RSS restart on every mouse enter?

A run that has started plays its 1.33 s to the end, so moving in and out quickly doesn't make it stutter; the next enter after that plays it again. Keyboard focus plays it as well; a tap on a touch screen does not.

### Is RSS decorative?

By default it is aria-hidden. Pass aria-label="RSS" to announce it as an image, or leave it hidden when the link or button it sits in has its own text.

### Can RSS play on click instead?

Yes: pass interaction="click-replay". It then replays once from the start on every click unless reduced motion is preferred.
