How this works

A cyberpunk-glitch notification badge with RGB channel-split text, jagged clip-path glitch shards, and intermittent horizontal jitter. The JS layer randomises the glitch timing so it fires unpredictably — feels alive instead of on a metronome.

Make it yours

  • Rebrand glitch colours from --red, --cyan, and --accent on the wrapper.
  • Adjust glitch frequency by tuning the JS random-interval bounds.
  • Change the jitter amplitude via the translateX values in the keyframes.
  • Swap the text for a notification count (⚠ 3 alerts) for a stateful variant.
  • Add a scanline overlay for extra CRT-cyberpunk authenticity.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Glitch effects can trigger photosensitive users — prefers-reduced-motion:reduce must disable ALL glitch animations, not just the jitter.
  • The RGB channel-split degrades text contrast — ensure the base text (non-glitched state) reads at 4.5:1 minimum.
  • Randomised timers can drift on backgrounded tabs; anchor to Date.now() if precise timing matters.
  • The aesthetic is culturally coded (gaming / cyberpunk / Web3) — use where it aligns.
