The quality of the output is great! Kudos!
My favorite so far is Morpheus mode, something about moving "into" the glyphs as they fall makes me think of digital city under the rain.

I made one[0][1] that uses the GitHub API to pull snippets from recent commits to use for the code. But this is much more beautiful and comprehensive on the visual front.

I'm open to contributing it. It'd save me the trouble of making and maintaining screensavers myself, which is a very common request. The struggle to support a Mac screensaver for more than a few years at a time has already swallowed a great Matrix project before, mathew's RedPill ( https://github.com/lpar/RedPill ).
One important matter I haven't investigated yet is what constraints there are on GL in xscreensaver as a whole. My project is basically a shader sandwich, but there are alternative approaches a port can take if that's untenable.
I also sincerely like jwz's cheeky competitiveness with other screensaver authors— when xscreensaver 4.11 was released, he captioned it, "Watch as GLMatrix makes RedPill scream for mercy." If I port to xscreensaver I'll make sure to continue the tradition.

I tried it with this "web page as a screensaver" app and it worked perfectly.
macOS only though - I couldn't find a Windows one.
