## JavaScript

```

How this works

A grid is painted with repeating-linear-gradients; a steps() keyframe snaps its background position to simulate a signal tear. A duplicate label with layered neon text-shadow jitters via a second stepped keyframe for the chromatic aberration.

Both use compositor-friendly properties; the accessible label stays solid underneath and reduced motion swaps to a calm static grid.

Make it yours

  • Retune the neon hues in the text-shadow stack.
  • Shrink the gradient pitch for a denser grid.
  • Adjust the tear via the steps() count and duration.
  • Darken the base fill to push neon contrast.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Give the label a solid colour so it never becomes unreadable mid-glitch.
  • Keep glitch layers decorative/aria-hidden.
  • steps() jumps are harsh — reduced motion calms them.

repeating-linear-gradient, steps() and clip-path are broadly supported; without them the button degrades to a solid neon-bordered CTA.
