Constellation Field
Slow drifting field of points that link into triangles when close, like a star map redrawing itself. A calm 'data / network / intelligence' backdrop for dashboard, pricing, and AI-product heroes.

Install it with velocityx add constellation-field.
The CLI writes the source straight into your project — no runtime dependency, no registry
lock-in, and it themes itself from the same primary-*/accent-* scale as the rest of the library.

PCB-style wiring paths with travelling light pulses, giving technical and infrastructure pages a systems-and-signal backdrop without any canvas or extra dependency.
reactThree depth layers of a dot matrix that drift at different rates with the pointer, giving a flat section real depth. The structured counterpart to free-floating particle backgrounds — sits behind pricing tables, feature grids, and app screenshots.
reactStripe-style ribbon of thin lines that twists in pseudo-3D — additive blending lights up a glowing fold where the lines bunch. Pure canvas, zero dependencies.
reactA wireframe lattice of isometric cubes that drifts sideways at a pace too slow to notice as motion, only as alive. Sits quietly behind pricing tables, dashboards, and dev-tool marketing pages without competing with copy on top.
