Gel Blob

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/gel-blob.tsx.

Install the pastetaste component "Gel Blob" (gel-blob) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: A gooey raymarched blob that breathes and drifts, with a coloured rim light. Plain WebGL, no 3D library; pauses off-screen.

Before you place it, ask me (one short message, in my language; "skip" = sensible default): which page and section it goes in, my brand colour (hex), the text, labels or images it should show, and whether I want my logo or my own copy in the demo content. Then:

Steps:
1. If the project has no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -y -d. Then run: npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/gel-blob.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/gel-blob.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { GelBlob } from "@/components/pastetaste/gel-blob" (check the file for the exact named export).
3. Put it where it fits on the page I name, keep the rest of the page untouched, and pass props for my colours instead of editing the installed file.
4. It does not depend on Tailwind; colours come from CSS variables (--pt-*) or props.
5. It uses WebGL: render it in a client component and give it a fixed-height parent; it pauses off-screen and shows a still frame for reduced motion.

Props (all optional unless the type has no default):
- color: string = 'var(--pt-accent, #2e63ff)' — Any CSS colour, variables included.
- distort: number = 0.45 — Surface distortion, 0 to 1.
- speed: number = 1 — Wobble speed.
- className: string — Extra classes on the root.
- style: CSSProperties — Inline style overrides.

Then run the dev server, check it in the browser at desktop and mobile width, and tell me the page URL.
