When to Use

Ideal for developer portfolios, technical blogs, and Next.js sites with a 'hacker' or tech-forward aesthetic. Use this React component for a modern take on the Matrix digital rain, featuring soft glows and abstract background gradients.

Best Practices

Maintain consistent spacing within your design system by keeping the rain density balanced. Follow React best practices by using high-contrast green or cyan colors. Optimize for performance in large-scale applications by adjusting the `rainCount` prop.

Why This Component Matters in Modern UI Development

Frequently Asked Questions

QCan I use different colors?

Yes, you can change the `rainColor` to anything from classic matrix green to cyberpunk pink or minimal white.

QHow fast is the rain?

The speed is randomized per column within the `rainMinDuration` and `rainMaxDuration` range for a more complex, multi-layered feel.

QDoes it support custom characters?

This specific component uses stylized vertical lines for a more modern, abstract look that is less distracting than character-based rain.
