## What it is
A web-based recreation of the Matrix digital rain effect built with WebGL and regl. It offers many visual variants, palettes, and customization options via URL parameters.

## Use cases
- display matrix digital rain in the browser
- customize code rain colors and palettes
- use matrix rain as a live wallpaper or screensaver
- render matrix rain from a custom image
- run 3D or holographic matrix rain on a Looking Glass display

## When to choose
- you want a polished, highly configurable matrix rain effect in a browser
- you need URL-parameter-driven customization without writing code
- you want a WebGL-based effect with multiple visual modes

## When to avoid
- you need a terminal-based matrix screensaver
- you need a reusable library to embed rain effects in your own app's codebase

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, animation
- domain: graphics, web-development, entertainment
- platform: browser, cross-platform
