  svg · medium cost

  Wrap any styled box in <Glass> (your translucent background is the tint; children stay crisp; optics via the optics prop). True refraction of the live page is Chrome/Edge only (backdrop-filter: url()); Safari/Firefox fall back to frost + tint + edge light. To bend in every browser, give it geometry (size + center) to refract its own children, or refract={copy} / src for images, video and canvas (WebGL). Headless — tint it with your tokens. v0.1.x: pin the version; use one or two lenses per screen and check text contrast over busy backgrounds. React >=18 peer, zero runtime deps, MIT.
