A few glowing waveforms that cross and breathe. The lines lean towards the pointer. Fills its parent: place it with absolute inset-0 behind your content.

Accessibility

  • Decorative: the canvas is aria-hidden and ignores pointer events, so content on top stays clickable.
  • Pauses off screen and in hidden tabs; reduced motion shows one still frame.
  • WebGL2 shader; renders nothing without WebGL2, so keep a background color behind it.
