About Wave Lines
Wave Lines is a canvas-driven background of densely packed vertical lines that breathe in two layered sine waves, so the rhythm never repeats. Move your cursor across it and the lines snap into a much wilder distortion that decays as you leave. The drawing loop is a single requestAnimationFrame tick over a 2D canvas with Tailwind for the surrounding chrome, so the component runs cool even on older laptops. It is built to anchor a hero section, sit behind a CTA, or fill an empty section divider without competing with foreground copy.
