If the cursor was larger than a single pixel, it would make it easier to guess.

Edit: Tiny cursor in chrome. Firefox looks ok.

Hi, developer here. I'm not sure why it would give you a single pixel cursor. It should use the pointer (when you are over a point) and a grab hand (for when you are over the background).

I've probably done something a stupid way somewhere and it's not working in certain cases. What browser/os are you using?

EDIT: My chrome is okay (windows 7) but I'll check out a few others. Does the cursor always come out tiny or only in place of one of the pointer/grab hand?

My chrome is OK too (Mac OS), pointer/hand seems to work. Cool bit of work!

Not ok for me (Arch Linux), in fact, not even a single pixel, no cursor at all!

Hmm. Sorry about that. I didn't see it at all during development. I'll do some testing on my Linux Machine when I get home, and can hopefully get it fixed soon.
