CLUSTER RAIN-TERMINAL-ANIMATION · 16 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-02-23
Terminal rain and weather animations
This cluster consists of terminal and web-based ASCII/ANSI animations centered on rain, Matrix-style digital rain, and weather effects like clouds, thunder, and snow, often presented as screensavers or entertainment tools. Dated entries before the index start show an isolated entry in 2020-02 and another in 2022-05, followed by a mostly monthly presence from 2025-05 through 2026-07 with one or two entries per month, including two entries in both 2026-04 and 2026-05. rusty-drizzle leads traction with 1 star, while raind and cool-rain have 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 16 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
