Rotating Star Effect

Hari

Hello! I hope everything is going well. I’m interested in creating a page featuring a captivating rotating star effect similar to what’s showcased on the https://gatsbyconf.com/ website.

Could you please guide me on how to achieve a similar WordPress page using the Gutenberg builder? Specifically, I’m aiming to incorporate the rotating effect, and I intend to overlay additional text elements on it. While attempting to save the page, I encountered difficulties in copying the required CSS or JS for the effect. I’m uncertain about where to commence. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@Hari What do you have so far in terms of the page? Can you share any links, code, or CSS?

@Hari that’s not as simple as it looks. Do you have a mock-up of how you’d like it to look?

Hari

just the rotating background without text would just work fine. i want to save this effect on page for now so i can refer to it later.

can we find something on their github?

Im on mobile, is there anyone who can paste this into one of those jsfiddle / codepen sites, to make a clickable demo from this very basic version1
I will add some matrix sin/cos to make it rotate round rather than flat in v2
