What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Thirteen percentage-placed stars in one layer became three tiled layers via bg-size-[…], so density stays constant from phone to 4K.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: a shooting star, a third twinkle layer with its own rhythm, and a gold glow on the CTA.
  • UI upgrade: a live-feeling sky-event chip beside the CTA; muted copy raised from #b8b0a0 to #c2bba9.

How this works

Tile, don't place. The CSS original positioned 13 stars by percentage in one 100%-sized layer — sparse on large screens. Each layer here is a small tile of several radial-gradient dots repeated across the section. Because the three tile sizes share no common factor, the pattern never visibly repeats.

One shooting star. A 120px gradient streak, rotated, translates diagonally in the first 15% of a 7-second cycle and stays invisible the rest of the time.

Make it yours

  • Denser sky: shrink the tile sizes.
  • Remove the shooting star span for a calmer hero.
  • Aurora: add a bg-[radial-gradient(…teal…)] layer behind the stars.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Radial-gradient dots under 1px may vanish on low-DPI screens; keep at least 1px.
  • Twinkle uses opacity only, so it composites cheaply even with three full-screen layers.
