Procedural, pointer-reactive ASCII backgrounds for the web.
Drop-in for React and vanilla. Zero runtime dependencies.
The ASCII-on-the-web space splits into two camps.
Authoring tools export baked frames, so they cannot react to anything at runtime. Procedural galleries animate from time alone — their render signature is literally render(time).
motes is render(time, pointer). The cursor is a first-class input.
The pointer interaction is an orthogonal layer that crosses every effect. It is never an effect itself.
That effect now reacts to the cursor. You wrote no pointer code.
