Waffle Fill Quantize

10x10 waffle grid fills cell-by-cell with a bright ripple to an honest integer percent, holds, then drains and cycles preset targets.

When to use it

Dashboards or data stories needing a tactile percentage readout. Progress indicators where discrete unit counts matter.

When not to

Contexts requiring real-time live data — targets are hardcoded. Light backgrounds (palette is hardcoded dark navy).

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change TARGETS to [25,50,75,100] and set ACC to '#a78bfa' to show a purple waffle cycling through quarter-increments. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • TARGETS array (preset percentages)
  • ACC color (#4fc3f7)
  • FILL/HOLD/DRAIN frame counts
  • unit scale factor (S*0.072)
  • ripple trail length (d<3.2)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion static fallback
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • DPR-aware canvas sizing
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Click advances target but pointermove only speeds current phase, not skips it
  • Background hardcoded in both CSS and BG constant — update both to change
  • No aria label on canvas element

  • Bar Grow + ReshuffleSeven rounded gradient bars ease to new random heights every 1.6s with glowing cap dots. Click triggers an immediate reshuffle.
  • Live Line SweepA glowing cyan area line chart scrolls a live sine-plus-noise time-series across a faint grid, with a white head dot marking the latest value.
  • Donut Ring ProgressOlive-to-terracotta gradient donut ring eases its fill to random targets with a leading dot and large centered percentage readout. Tap to jump to a new value.
  • Sparkline Moving DotA green sparkline traces itself across a faint ghost path, led by a haloed white dot; on completion it regenerates a new random 28-point series.
