## What it is
A curated awesome list of compact, cool visual effects for web pages, covering background decorations, mouse effects, and similar UI flourishes. It links to framework-agnostic libraries and components (React, Vue, jQuery, vanilla JS) that can be dropped into any page.

## Use cases
- find cool background animation effects for my website
- discover particle background libraries
- add mouse-following visual effects to a page
- browse curated web page effect libraries
- find water ripple or starfield canvas effects
- get inspiration for decorative frontend animations

## When to choose
- you want a curated catalog of web visual effect libraries
- you need framework-agnostic effect options across React, Vue, jQuery, and vanilla JS
- you are looking for inspiration to make a landing page stand out

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready effect library rather than a list of links
- you need effects with guaranteed maintenance or licensing
- you want a single unified API rather than many separate projects

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
