Rain Code Ink

Ink drips fall down a faint column grid with calligraphic gravity, each pools at a seeded baseline and evaporates, one column streaming in primary. Not a Matrix clone. Canvas, zero deps.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Rain Code Ink component?

Register the @cleverui registry in your components.json ("@cleverui": "https://cleverops.com.au/r/{name}.json"), then run `npx shadcn@latest add @cleverui/bg-rain-code-ink`. The shadcn CLI copies the source into your project, you own the code from that point. You can also copy the source directly from this page.

What dependencies does Rain Code Ink require?

Rain Code Ink has no npm dependencies beyond React and Tailwind CSS itself, so there is nothing extra to install or keep updated.

Can I theme Rain Code Ink to match my brand?

Yes. The component is styled entirely with Tailwind utilities over standard design tokens (primary, background, muted, border), so it inherits your existing shadcn/ui theme automatically. Change your CSS variables and the component follows, no source edits needed for palette, radius, or fonts.

Want this built for you?
