Free downloadLiquid Panels For React
A free setup guide for Plasma UI, an open-source React library by Crux Garden (MIT): panels that move like liquid, fuse when they touch, bend the light behind them and snap to a grid. Setup in five minutes, a small dashboard starter I built and tested, how to tune moods, water, honey and plain glass, the five ready-made components, prompts for Claude Code and the honest catches.
What is inside
- How it works One shared liquid behind the page: fuse, refract, stretch, snap, pulse.
- Setup Install, wrap the app, turn elements into panels, and the one CSS trap that hides the canvas.
- starter/ A small dashboard with draggable cards, moods, switch, slider and tabs. npm install, npm run dev.
- Tune the look Moods, water and honey motion, plain glass, materials and your own background.
- PROMPTS.md Six prompts for Claude Code: liquid panels, a draggable board, plain glass, settings, a dialog, a review.
- Honest catches Desktop first, GPU-heavy, pre-1.0, one canvas, the current limits.
Node.js 20+, a React project (or the Vite starter in the ZIP) and a desktop browser with WebGL2 (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari 16.4+). The effect is made for desktop. The guide is in English.
