Simple particle system for web apps. Designed for visual flourishes like confetti.
elm install BrianHicks/elm-particle
The general overview of elm-particle:
- Create a Random generator for the types of particles you want.
- Combine those to make effects, like confetti bursting or a stream of water.
- Give those to a system which manages random seeds and animation frame subscriptions for you!

If you'd like to see how this is done step-by-step, I gave a 20-minute presentation at Olso Elm Day 2019. There's also an Elm town episode on the background behind elm-particle.
I want my open-source activities to support projects addressing the climate crisis (for example, projects in clean energy, public transit, reforestation, or sustainable agriculture.) If you are working on such a project, and find a bug or missing feature in any of my libraries, please let me know and I will treat your issue as high priority. I'd also be happy to support such projects in other ways. In particular, I've worked with Elm for a long time and would be happy to advise on your implementation.
