React Interactive Grid Pattern Background
Interactive grid where cells glow on hover with proximity-based highlighting and smooth trailing effects
React Interactive Grid Pattern Background preview
This takes a basic grid pattern and makes it interactive. Hover over a cell and it glows cyan instantly, then fades out slowly when you leave—so you get this trailing glow effect as you move around. What makes it extra nice is the proximity highlighting: cells near your cursor get a subtle highlight based on how close they are, creating a soft spotlight effect. The grid auto-sizes based on your viewport and rescales on resize. Great for tech dashboards, portfolios, or anywhere you want that responsive, reactive feel.

Ink
Animated ink-drop background for React and Next.js — discrete drops of dark ink bloom across a rice-paper surface with turbulent fractal edges, evoking Chinese calligraphy bleeding into washi.
Interference
Two-source wave interference background for React and Next.js — classic physics demo where two drifting point sources radiate concentric ripples that cross into hyperbolic fringe bands of constructive and destructive interference.
