Show HN: Ambient CSS – Physically Based CSS and React Components (ambientcss.vercel.app)

9 points by kikkupico ↗ HN
Hello! AmbientCSS is a side project I started 5 years ago because I found the lack of realism in CSS shadows jarring. So, I tried to create a more realistic and consistent shadow system for CSS. It grew too complex and I gave up. Now, thanks to LLMs, I was able to revive it. As such, it's good enough to play with but might not be good enough for production use.

This is fun, but I couldn't figure out how to use the knobs. It turns in unpredictable ways.
Awesome! looking forward to the production ready
I dreamt about this for a long time. I started a similar endeavor thrice in the past. Congrats for making this a reality.
