Does anyone mind if I peddle mine? Runs in the browser, lots of customizability:

Forks, pull requests and feedback welcome! :)

Nice work, I remember trying this a while back. Is there a way to increase the stream density on the volumetric version?

By the way on the videos in the original post, they look extremely similar to your volumetric one! I know yours predates it - maybe you inspired the volumetric design in the new trailers!

Thanks for expressing interest!

You can use the "density" URL variable to multiply the number of volumetric raindrops, like so:

The full list of parameters is in the README.md at:

The similarities you point out are probably because of my recovery of the original font, which is also in the repo, and may soon need some expansion :D

I thought I remembered an issue on your repo where someone asked if there was a way to make it into a screensaver - am I misremembering, or was it removed? and out of curiosity - is that indeed possible or not? I scrolled through the README but maybe missed it. Thanks again!

Something like this should do the trick.

You might be remembering my "WebSaver" project, which I mainly use for my own Macs.

Huh, new glyphs just dropped. Guess I've got some homework.

This is fantastic, I was always intrigued if it would be possible to create a similar effect using actual code from Github rather than glyphs.
