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 <code>--cl-mobile-size</code> per instance (or change the global defaults in <code>:root</code>). 
– Want easier scrolling near the cube? We already add invisible “rails” on phones. Tweak <code>--cl-rail-width</code> (sides) and <code>--cl-rail-height</code> (top/bottom). Set them to <code>0</code> to disable. 
Note: Mobile “rails” affect embedded cubes (Block/Shortcode), not the Coming Soon overlay.
Why Choose CubeLaunch?
Whether you’re looking to create a unique product highlight, an engaging call-to-action, or simply add a touch of interactive flair to your website, CubeLaunch provides an easy-to-use solution.

Ideal for portfolios, digital agencies, product launches, or any site wanting to make a memorable first impression.

<h3>Basic Usage</h3>
A) Coming Soon overlay 
– Admin → CubeLaunch → Coming Soon Settings. 
– Configure the shape + faces, text, and (optionally) a signup form (shortcode or HTML). 
– Enable the overlay. Visitors who aren’t logged in will see your Coming Soon page.
B) Gutenberg Block – Reusable shapes (CPT) for Posts & Pages 
– Admin → CubeLaunch → Shapes for Pages & Posts → Add New Shape Configuration. 
– Choose Cube or Pyramid, set faces/background, Publish. 
– In the block editor, search for and insert the “CubeLaunch Shape” block and pick your saved configuration. 
– Adjust “Small / Medium / Large” in block settings.
C) Shortcodes 
– On the same Shapes for Pages & Posts screen, each saved shape shows a shortcode you can paste into page builders, widgets, or classic editor. 
– Example (paste literally):
<pre><code> [cubelaunch_shape id="123"]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>
You can add your own class for per‑instance CSS:
[cubelaunch_shape id=”123″ class=”my-promo-cube”]
</li>
</ul>
