Gratitude Jar with Firefly Glow
Users drop short gratitude notes into a glowing glass jar where they float inside like fireflies.
Practicing gratitude improves mental health. Digital gratitude journals lack character, so let’s build a literal Glass Jar using Glassmorphism, and turn each written gratitude into a glowing firefly particle trapped inside!
The Glassmorphism Jar
.jar {
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
border-radius: 40px 40px 20px 20px;
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
backdrop-filter: blur(15px);
border: 2px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4);
box-shadow: 0 0 40px rgba(0, 255, 200, 0.1);
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
Creating Fireflies
Every time the user submits a note, we spawn a div inside the jar that wanders randomly.
function addFirefly(noteText) {
const fly = document.createElement('div');
fly.className = 'firefly';
fly.title = noteText;
// Random starting position inside the jar
fly.style.left = Math.random() * 80 + '%';
fly.style.top = Math.random() * 80 + '%';
jar.appendChild(fly);
}
Add your own glowing memories to the jar in the incredibly serene Live Demo!
