## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: animation, ui-components, graphics
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: browser
- tags: canvas, particles, background-effect, html5-canvas, no-dependencies, web-server
