UVCanvas is an open-source React.js component library providing beautifully shaded, animated WebGL canvas backgrounds such as Lumiflex, Zenitho, and Novatrix. It also includes a beta MDX-based Slides component, and is designed for zero-configuration use in web backgrounds, wallpapers, and design materials.

Use cases

• add animated shader backgrounds to a react website
• render gradient canvas wallpapers in nextjs
• drop-in webgl hero background components
• build mdx-based slide decks with animated backgrounds
• use shadertoy-style shaders as react components
• create design materials with animated gradients

When to choose

• you need attractive animated canvas or shader backgrounds in a React or Next.js app with zero configuration
• you want tree-shakeable, ready-made WebGL background components
• you want an MDX-driven slides component with integrated backgrounds

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose WebGL or Three.js engine with full control over shaders
• your project does not use React
• you need a mature, feature-complete presentation tool rather than a beta slides component
