## What it is
The Spirit is a WebGL-based visual experiment by Edan Kwan that creates a smoky particle effect using curl noise and noise derivatives. It is a demo/art piece rather than a reusable library, with a live demo and MIT-licensed source.

## Use cases
- create smoky particle effects in the browser
- learn WebGL particle techniques
- study curl noise shader implementations
- find inspiration for creative coding demos

## When to choose
- you want a reference implementation of curl-noise particle rendering in WebGL
- you need inspiration for creative WebGL experiments

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, reusable particle engine or library
- you need production-ready graphics tooling with documentation and support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: graphics, animation, simulation
- domain: graphics, web-development, media
- platform: browser
- tags: webgl, creative-coding, particles, curl-noise, visual-experiment, web-server
