Snow Fall
=========

[![Banner for "Snow Fall"](https://github.com/felixarntz/snow-fall/raw/main/.wordpress-org/banner-1544x500.png?raw=true)](https://github.com/felixarntz/snow-fall/blob/main/.wordpress-org/banner-1544x500.png?raw=true)

This plugin adds a subtle snow fall effect to your website, using the lightweight `` JavaScript web component by [Zach Leatherman](https://www.zachleat.com).

- [Learn more about the `` component](https://www.zachleat.com/web/snow-fall)
- [Demo of the `` component](https://zachleat.github.io/snow-fall/demo.html)

The plugin takes a no-frills, zero-config approach - you simply activate the plugin, and it just works - thanks to the excellent underlying web component implementation. There should be no notable adverse effects on performance, also given the plugin uses the [WordPress Script Modules API](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/03/04/script-modules-in-6-5/) that was introduced in WordPress 6.5.

The plugin respects user preferences for reduced motion, as a best practice for accessibility.
