Starfield Depth Drift
A quiet, layered field of drifting stars that gives any dark section real depth — near points move faster and glow brighter, far points barely shift. Reads as premium and spacious, not busy, and never distracts from content laid over the top.
$ velocityx add starfield-depth-drift
Built for react.
Needs react already installed
