Beautiful Backgrounds: Animated Web Components for Stunning Pages

Beautiful Backgrounds is a library of customizable, interactive web components designed to bring web pages to life with dynamic, visually appealing animations. Built in TypeScript, it’s easy to integrate and optimized for performance.

Highlights include:

  • Ambient Ribbon – flowing ribbons with customizable waves, rotation, and colors.
  • Digital Rain – Matrix-style falling characters with full control over font, speed, and gradient.
  • Hexagon Wave – waving polygon grids with dynamic shading and rhythmic motion.
  • Liquid Lines – fluid lines with gradients and 3D depth effects.
  • Neon Rails – fast-moving particles on a geometric grid for cyberpunk vibes.
  • Star Trail – orbiting stars with fading trails for subtle or vibrant skies.

All components are responsive, interactive, and easy to tweak via Storybook, letting you adjust parameters and see results in real time.

Installation:

npm i beautiful-backgrounds --save
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
import { BbStarTrail } from "beautiful-backgrounds";
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Beautiful Backgrounds makes adding dynamic, elegant, and engaging backgrounds to any web project simple — no heavy frameworks or complex setup required.
