paper widgets

A motion study of seven everyday widgets that share one quiet style: warm paper-white tiles on a paper background, black type, thin Geist numerals, small mono captions and a single ultramarine accent. The tiles rise in one after another, then each widget comes alive. Weather counts up to 24° while the sun climbs its dotted arc. Now playing bounces its equaliser and runs the playhead, then the next button is pressed and a new cover slides in as the track changes. A focus timer fades in its ring of ticks and counts down from 25:00, lighting one tick a second. A week of step bars springs up under a count that runs to 8,240. Three batteries fill in turn, the charging phone with a shimmer and a pulsing bolt. The calendar's events rise in, then the list rolls up to the next one and its chip changes. A focus-mode switch is tapped and the whole tile fades to dark with an ultramarine glow. Everything is a pure function of time on a 1080 × 1080 stage that scales to fit any window, with window.__render(t) for frame-exact video export; the labels can switch from Inter to uppercase Geist Mono by changing four tokens.
