Web Threads

Drifting points joined by fine threads when they come close. The pointer joins in and gathers the web. 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.
  • Canvas 2D.
