Jakub Antalik releases thinking-orbs for AI UI states

thinking-orbs is an open-source animation library designed by Jakub Antalik to replace static spinners with state-aware visual loading indicators for AI agents. Built for React and Tailwind CSS, the SSR-safe library provides six hand-tuned canvas states with automatic theme switching and preset sizing.

// ANALYSIS

Standard spinning loaders fail to convey what an AI agent is actually doing, making state-specific canvas animations a huge upgrade for modern AI user interfaces.

• Offers six distinct animation states tailored to specific AI tasks like searching, solving, listening, and composing.

• Theme-aware design automatically handles dark and light mode transitions with SSR safety.

• Lightweight component setup designed for easy integration with React and frontend ecosystems.

canvas-ui brings WebGL shaders to live DOM

canvas-ui by David Haz (@DavidHDev) is an experimental open-source UI component library that applies real-time WebGL shader effects—such as liquid warping, glass refraction, and VHS distortion—directly over live HTML elements. Leveraging the experimental html-in-canvas API, it enables React, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla web apps to use GPU-accelerated visuals while preserving native DOM interactivity and text selection.
