tsParticles VS dissolve-generator

I wrote an article in 2020 for using Mocha/Chai in a TypeScript project, that I'm using in tsParticles (leave a star if you want 🌟, it's free 👀).

At first, I attempted to create my own particle effect, but I realized it's actually a lot harder than it seems. So I went with a third-party library that is made specially for particles. You can check out the repo https://github.com/matteobruni/tsparticles. They have lots of neat effects.

tsParticles - Easily create highly customizable particles, confetti, and fireworks animations and use them as animated backgrounds for your website. Ready-to-use components available for Reacts, Angular, Svelte, and Web Components.

I had a similar idea. Listen for a sequence of keys like "confetti" and then use https://particles.js.org/ to throw confetti all over the screen

You’re almost done! You just have to configure your particles/objects in order of animation, interaction, direction, opacity, etc. For this illustration, you’ll be using an already preset configuration from the tsparticles repository, but you can always tweak it to your own style or create one from scratch if you’d like.

And last but not least, the two websites (https://particles.js.org and https://confetti.js.org) have two dedicated repositories:

Are you thinking of this, or particles.js? particles.js has been used in Pterodactyl (and probably in other login pages), whereas tsParticles seems to be much more programmable.

You can still use a json config file even with a pure JS implementation from what I see here https://github.com/matteobruni/tsparticles

Hey HN,

I built next-movie for two reasons:

1. To scratch my own itch and experiment with Next.js 13's new appDir architecture based around react server components

2. To build a better experience for finding great movies

I definitely accomplished #1 and #2 is a WIP.

Currently, you can filter / sort by IMDB rating, Rotten Tomatoes scores, genre, and more. All movies include the best official trailer on YouTube according to a heuristic, and you can view search results by 3 different layouts: Grid (netflix-style), List, and Single.

Single-movie view is for people like myself who are tired of looking at endless feeds... it will give you a single movie matching your search at a time, with a big "Next Movie" button to cycle through the results one-at-a-time.

The algo to pick the next movie is actually really interesting.. it uses a 2D dissolve effect to traverse the search space (with a random offset generated client-side), making it so you cycle through movies seemingly at random but without duplicates.

The app is open source on GitHub here: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/next-movie

Cheers,
