Idea

How the idea was born? A long time ago in pre-HTML5 Flash era landing pages contained a lot of shiny flash effects, that were crashing browser.

One effect I liked more than others, that was shiny blinking particles that were bringing magic touch to buttons and other elements. In new HTML5 era this effect was missing for me.

But now it’s possible to recreate this cool effects with our plugin. Become a real html wizard, start using Magic Dust plugin!
