On mobile, sometimes it's necessary to provide an invisible larger area to recognize touch inputs on a crucial or otherwise difficult to activate button. This is an example of one way of doing so using pseudo elements. In this particular implementation, the buttons this was being added to would shrink while active, so a countering scaling effect…
