Neon Revival

Flickering neon sign with electrical buzz, dripping light particles, and wall reflections.

What is Neon Revival?

Neon Revival is a free WebGL web effect in the TappyPrism library. Flickering neon sign with electrical buzz, dripping light particles, and wall reflections. It is rendered on the GPU by a fragment shader, so it costs almost nothing on the CPU and works well as a full-screen background. It ships as a single self-contained HTML file (neon-revival.html) with zero dependencies — no npm package, no framework, no build step. It exposes 3 live parameters — Shape, Flicker Rate, Glow Spread — adjustable in the browser or at runtime.
