Accessibility

The canvas is decorative and hidden from assistive technology. Keep important content in children and provide a pause control for continuous animation. Reduced motion renders a static frame; unsupported WebGL retains the styled container and content.

Notes

The playground layers a Gaudi header, hero and working documentation links above the effect. The Demo content switch hides only this foreground; canvas size, animation phase and pause state are retained.
Three continuous color fields blend across the whole container. Grain follows CSS pixels and freezes with the gradient.
Visual idea inspired by Grainient from React Bits (MIT + Commons Clause). Independently implemented for Gaudi; no React Bits source, shaders or assets are included.
