Auras
A word glows out in soft rings of colour.
createAura(draw, { ramp })
shodo
An expressive, malleable visual layer for the web
Type, paint and pictures that move and respond, built from small parts you can tune by hand or hand to your coding agent.
What people make with it
Grain fields
Soft shapes blurred wide, with a grain that dithers their colours together.
createBlur(draw, { radius: 70, grain: 1 })
glass
Frosted glass
A pill of glass that blurs and bends what moves behind it.
createGlass(draw).render(scene, w, h, box)
Soft mosaic
Colour drifts under big square pixels.
createMosaic(draw, { cell: 28 })
Mixed paint
Pigments mixed the way paint mixes, not the way screens do.
mixPaint([{ color: blue, factor: 1 - t }, { color: yellow, factor: t }])
shodo
Pictures that respond
Move the pointer over it: the whole picture moves like water.
createRipple(draw).render(scene, w, h)
Wet type
The word arrives wet and dries with a dark rim. Move over it to wet it again.
sheet.load(wetLetters)
Paint inside the letters
The letters hold the paint like masking fluid, and it pools at their edges.
new WetGpu(canvas, w, h, { mask })
Washes that bloom
Run the pointer through a drying wash and the water pushes the colour back.
sheet.brush(a, b, { clear: true })
