A tiny (2 KB) JavaScript library that draws an interactive particle/nest network background on a website using HTML5 Canvas, with no jQuery dependency. It can be included via a script tag or used as an ES module with configurable color, opacity, particle count, and z-index.

Use cases

• add an animated particle background to a website
• interactive nest effect on a blog homepage
• canvas particle network without jQuery
• decorative animated background for a landing page
• area-rendered particle effect inside a specific element
• lightweight canvas animation for a personal site

When to choose

• you want a very small, dependency-free animated background
• you need a quick script-tag drop-in effect for any website
• you want configurable particle color, count, and opacity
• you need modular rendering scoped to a specific DOM element

When to avoid

• you need high-performance WebGL particle systems at large scale
• you need a full animation framework like GSAP or three.js
• you dislike decorative background effects or need strict accessibility/low-motion compliance
