## What it is
PowerGlitch is a tiny, dependency-free JavaScript/TypeScript library that adds glitch visual effects to any DOM element using CSS animations, without canvas. It weighs under 2kb minified and gzipped and ships with React and Vue integrations.

## Use cases
- add a glitch effect to images on my website
- glitch text or buttons with css animations
- create glitch art effects in the browser
- animate a hover glitch effect on a hero image
- glitchify images without canvas

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight (<2kb) glitch effect with no dependencies
- you need to glitch any DOM element, not just images
- you prefer CSS-animation-based effects over canvas rendering
- you use React or Vue and want a ready-made wrapper

## When to avoid
- you need canvas-based or shader-driven glitch effects
- you want video or audio datamoshing, not DOM elements
- you need a full animation library like GSAP

## Facets

- maturity: active
- function: animation, ui-components, css-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, graphics
- platform: browser
