Blink.JS
Relive the early days of web design with Blink.js
In the ever-evolving world of web design, trends come and go, but some features hold a special place in our memories—like the infamous <blink> tag from the early days of the internet. While it may have fallen out of favor due to its distracting nature, a new JavaScript library, Blink.js, is here to bring this quirky retro feature back into the spotlight, with a modern twist!
Why use Blink.js?
Blink.js is a minimalist, lightweight JavaScript library that reimplements the classic <blink> tag, allowing web developers to easily add blinking text to their pages without the overhead of bulky frameworks. Written in vanilla JavaScript, Blink.js is designed to be fully compatible with existing HTML, ensuring a seamless integration into your projects.
Key Features
- Customizable Blink Rate: Gone are the days of a one-size-fits-all blinking speed. Blink.js introduces the data-interval parameter, which allows developers to control the flash rate of the blinking text. Whether you want a rapid blink or a slow fade, Blink.js is up for the task.
- Improved Animation: Inverts text color instead of disappearing, making it easier for users to read while still drawing attention.
- Lightweight and Efficient: One of the primary design principles of Blink.js is minimalism. The library is incredibly lightweight, ensuring that it won't slow down your website.
- Full Compatibility: Since the library uses the
<blink>element it integrates seamlessly into existing webpages using the tag, ensuring no disruption to current designs. Additionally, it gracefully falls back to the native blink tag rendering on older browsers if unable to load.

The party is in a dark, damp cave, facing off against a group of goblins. The wizard decides to cast Fireball to clear the area. Rolling 8d6 for damage results in:
3+5+1+4+6+2+6+2 = damage.
- To use Blink.js just include the script before </body> (or in <head> with the "async defer" attributes), and you're ready to create flashing text with minimal code.
<script src="blink.js" type="text/javascript" async defer></script> - Then, place the text that should flash between <blink> tags as shown below:
<blink>This text will flash!</blink>
