Physics & Simulation
Real simulations — fluid, Ising, Voronoi, boids — as UI backgrounds.
Wildly original: every component is a physical system. The most underused gem on the list.
- pixel-liquid-bg — full Navier-Stokes fluid simulation
- background-ascii-domain-walls — live Ising model in ASCII
- avatar-stack-flock — avatars milling as a boids flock
- background-ascii-voronoi-walls — Voronoi cell walls in ink

Serious animation attention: fluid sims, gooey SVG filters, orbital layouts.
- gravity-stars — interactive gravity star field
- matrix-image — Matrix digital rain on your image
- orbital-image-wheel — GSAP scroll-driven image half-wheel

Small but every piece is a showstopper built on real rendering tricks.
- mercury-menu — dropdown the button pours out of (metaball engine)
- corridor-carousel — a gallery you FLY down instead of scroll
- molten-ring-carousel — cards as shader geometry, no images
- dither-helix-carousel — spiral of cards on a cylinder
