I'd like to invert a black text while hovering it with a custom -black- cursor. This GIF demonstrates the effect:
Couldn't wrap my head around to make this work with CSS & JS. Some combination with mix-blend-modes, clipping masks, pseudo elements and filters I guess.
The following code makes the cursor white but doesn't alow the black text to be turned white. Sounds abstract? Here's a demo.
// All creds go to https://murmure.me 👀
const cursor = $(".cursor"),
body = $("body"),
slider = $(".slider"),
nav = $(".nav"),
fail = $(".fail"),
invert = $(".invert"),
nav_open_menu = $(".navopen"),
wwidth = $(window).width(),
wheight = $(window).height(),
cursorMove = function() {
var e, n;
return (
body.addClass("cursor-on"),
cursor.css({
transform: "matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, " + wwidth / 2 + ", " + wheight / 2 + ")"
}),
(e = wheight / 2),
(n = 0.65 * wwidth / 2),
n > e ? e : n,
$(window).on("mousemove", function(e) {
var n, t;
if (
((window.x = e.clientX),
(window.y = e.clientY),
cursor.css({
transform: "matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, " + x + ", " + y + ")"
}),
!nav.hasClass("overlay-visible"))
)
return (
(n = Math.floor((x - 60) / 5)),
(t = Math.floor((y - 60) / 5)),
n < 20 && t < 20
? nav_open_menu.addClass("magnetize").css({
transform: "scale(1.3) translate3d(" + n + "px, " + t + "px, 0)"
})
: nav_open_menu.removeClass("magnetize").attr("style", "")
);
})
);
};
cursorBind = function() {
var e, n, t;
if (
((n = cursor.find("span")).removeClass("link external new"),
(e = $(".focus")),
(t = $(".slack")),
$(window).on({

I've setup a playground on Codepen to mess around with, but didn't found a solution yet.
How could this hover effect be recreated with CSS and Javascript?

Here is an idea using clip-path. The trick is to duplicate the text to have two layers above each other with different text color then I reveal the top one using the clip-path that I adjust with the move of the mouse.
var h =document.querySelector('h1');
var p= h.getBoundingClientRect();
var c= document.querySelector('.cursor');
document.body.onmousemove = function(e) {
/*Adjust the cursor position*/
c.style.left=e.clientX+'px';
c.style.top=e.clientY+'px';
/*Adjust the clip-path*/
h.style.setProperty('--x',(e.clientX-p.top)+'px');
h.style.setProperty('--y',(e.clientY-p.left)+'px');
}body {
cursor:none;
}
h1 {
color: #000;
display:inline-block;
margin:50px;
text-align: center;
position:relative;
}
h1:before {
position:absolute;
content:attr(data-text);
color:#fff;
background:#000;
clip-path: circle(20px at var(--x,-100%) var(--y,-100%));
}
.cursor {
position:fixed;
width:40px;
height:40px;
background:#000;
border-radius:50%;
top:0;
left:0;
transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
z-index:-2;
}<h1 data-text="WORK">WORK</h1>
<span class="cursor"></span>Here is Another idea using radial-gradient and without duplicating the text that can work with multiple elements at the same time:
document.body.onmousemove = function(e) {
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--x',(e.clientX)+'px');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--y',(e.clientY)+'px');
}body {
cursor:none;
}
.mask {
background:
radial-gradient(circle 20px
at var(--x,0) var(--y,0),
#fff 99%,black 100%)
fixed;
background-clip: text;
-webkit-background-clip: text;
color:transparent;
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
}
html::before {
content:"";
position:fixed;
width:40px;
height:40px;
background:#000;
border-radius:50%;
top:var(--y,0);
left:var(--x,0);
transform:translate(-50%,-50%);
z-index:-2;
}<h1 class="mask">WORK</h1>

Made a solution using mix-blend-mode: difference; for the .cursor.
The advantage is - we don't need to add any classes or javascript to all elements that we are hovering with our circle-mouse over.
The disadvantage is - this solution less stable due to mix-blend-mode is a bit raw technology. It requires to set height in body and html, and strict background-color for body.
The part with .cursor CSS and JavaScript - I partly borrowed form the solution of @Temani Afif. Thank you and hope you don't mind, because it's pointless to try to write it better. But i added +window.scrollX and +window.scrollY for correct .cursor work while scrolling.
More about mix-blend-mode you cay read here https://caniuse.com/#search=mix-blend-mode and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/mix-blend-mode
document.body.onmousemove = function(e) {
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--x', (e.clientX+window.scrollX) + 'px');
document.documentElement.style.setProperty('--y', (e.clientY+window.scrollY) + 'px');
}html {
height: 100%; /* requires for stable body height */
}
body {
min-height: 100%; /* requires for 'mix-blend-mode' */
cursor: none;
color: #000;
background-color: #fff; /* requires for 'mix-blend-mode' */
}
.cursor {
position: absolute;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background: #fff;
border-radius: 50%;
top: var(--y, 0);
left: var(--x, 0);
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
z-index: 2;
mix-blend-mode: difference;
