I’ve been doing some spring/fall cleaning and found an unpublished follow-up component to <snow-fall> (a web component to “snow” on your website — which also happens to work with emoji too). Originally it was created as an easter egg for Blog Awesome (click on the Font Awesome flag in the very bottom of the footer) but others have wanted to use it for more things!

Presenting: <icon-fall>:

It’s in use on this page (if you are on my web site and not in a feed reader). You can also install it with npm install @zachleat/icon-fall.

It has options for count (attribute, number of icons) and a comma separated list of colors (via --icon-fall-colors custom property).
