If you're interested in developing this into a useful library, perhaps you should consider starting a Patreon (rather than a kickstarter). Having a monthly drip of money is probably a more sustainable model for an open source project than a lump sum payout with nebulous goals (that it looks like you've already achieved).

thanks for your advise! Maybe I should give Patreon a try after the kickstarter :D this kickstarter is a quick-starter. https://creators.kickstarter.com/quickstarter/

It is mainly for making new backer friends or have a good relationship with my potential customer of my web visual effect dev tools.

thanks a lot for your help on overall direction of business model. have a super nice and happy day~!

I'm sorry for being slow on the uptake, but … what is it? I mean, I see four text panes and a glowing light, but why?

That's literally it. It's graphical particle effects. Think of simulating sunlight on water, or laser blasts, that kind of thing. Just happens to run in codepen, is all.

Yes :D It's fun to play with the way things could be through imagination and code. :)

Hi @JadeNB, here's the kickstarter preview video that explains this tool :) https://youtu.be/WwDu8aMIYZA thanks for your query~ :D

Wow! That's an intense particle. I'm thumbing through the code now. Nice work so far!

aww thanks a lot for your kudos!! :D You can try try replace similar code with these code...

vec3 ball1 = ballify(vec3(x, y, z), 1.0);

  nextPos = ballify(ball1 + nextPos, 17.0);
  
  nextPos.x += cos(nextPos.z - time * 30.0);
  nextPos.y += sin(nextPos.z - time * 30.0);
  
  nextPos += getDiff(nextPos, mouse * 17.0) * 50.0;
    
  gl_FragColor = vec4(nextPos, 1.0);
