# Dithered Particle Morph Preloader

> Dithered particle morph preloader in black-and-white stipple: a star with a progress orbit and counter fills, then every dot flies into a moonlit theatre stage with curtains and a wordmark before the page is revealed. Pointer parts the stardust. Use it as a cinematic loading screen. No dependencies.
