Bored of static content? CubeLaunch lets you embed interactive 3D cubes and pyramids powered by WebGL—via a Gutenberg block, a shortcode, or a site‑wide 「Coming Soon」 overlay.
Key features
* Interactive 3D: drag to spin (X/Y) with inertia; pinch to zoom on touch devices.
* Cubes & pyramids with custom faces (images from the Media Library; built‑in 1:1 cropper).
* Gutenberg block with Small / Medium / Large presets + optional background‑color override.
* Shortcode to embed anywhere shortcodes are supported.
* Mobile‑friendly scrolling: on phones we add slim, invisible 「scroll rails」 around the canvas so the page still scrolls naturally even when the cube is under your thumb (side rails via CSS; top/bottom rails via a tiny JS helper). All adjustable via CSS variables.
* Coming Soon overlay (optional): a full‑page teaser with your shape, copy and a form (shortcodes/HTML).
Quick mobile tips
– Want smaller cubes on phones? Set --cl-mobile-size per instance (or change the global defaults in :root).
– Want easier scrolling near the cube? We already add invisible 「rails」 on phones. Tweak --cl-rail-width (sides) and --cl-rail-height (top/bottom). Set them to 0 to disable.
Note: Mobile 「rails」 affect embedded cubes (Block/Shortcode), not the Coming Soon overlay.
