I Built an Interactive 3D Tilt Card with Canvas Particles (No Libraries)

Short summary

A developer shares a self-contained demo combining a canvas particle network, a CSS 3D tilt card, and a typewriter effect — all in one HTML file with no dependencies. The post explains each component: particle distance checks with requestAnimationFrame, mouse-driven rotateX/rotateY transforms with perspective, and a setTimeout-based typewriter state machine. Total footprint is ~60 lines CSS and ~60 lines JS.

  • Canvas particle network using requestAnimationFrame and distance checks
  • CSS 3D tilt via rotateX/rotateY driven by mouse position with perspective on parent
  • Typewriter effect using setTimeout and two counters, no libraries needed
