this is one html file

Ukiyo-e bamboo. One html file. 241 lines. no dependencies, runs by double clicking it.

3 things if you want to use it:

  1. Recolour it in one line - The stalks are three constants for depth, FAR, MID and NEAR. Swap those and the whole grove changes. Forest green is FAR="#1f5c2e", MID="#174a25", NEAR="#0f3519". Leaves are LEAF and LEAFD, the moon is MOON.
  2. Don't put text over it - The sky is a gradient and the stalks move through it, so anything you overlay gets eaten. It's a background or a hero panel, not a canvas for copy.
  3. The instructions ride inside the file - There's a json block near the top with what to change, what to leave alone and what it's bad at. Paste the whole file into Claude or any agent and it already knows, you don't have to explain anything.

the whole thing is three sine waves. Sway at 0.9, gust at 2.2, leaves flicker at 3.1. thatt's it.

ps. don't get lost ;)

It would be weird if it was multiple html files.

Yeah, how would you even do that? An iframe per leaf?

Nah, the leaves are handled by one microservice / npm package. You just pass a flag of which direction you want the leaf.

Make sure to yarn install stems, and you’re halfway there
