spoilerjs – Reddit-style spoilers with particle animations
Hello HN! I just published my first npm library as a small way to give back to the open source community. I built `spoilerjs`, a lightweight web component that lets you hide text with an animated spoiler effect. Think Reddit spoilers, but with more flair! It works with plain HTML, React, Vue, or Svelte, and you can customize attributes like particle density, velocity, and scale. The effect is totally inspired by the Telegram app!

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js.

Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…
