Glyph Swell

Backgrounds 2

About

An animated canvas background of monospaced glyphs on a grid, where ripples of denser characters and brighter ink swell outward from the pointer, clicks, or idle random cells.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Glyph Swell to your project and fits it to your theme.
