Aren't there a lot of scripts out there to add snow to your website? Most of which don't require registration, don't have silly 'pro' versions and don't seem like an excuse to sell people something for maybe a couple of weeks of the year?
Why would I use this when I can find a free script that doesn't require any sign up and does the exact same thing with more options?
P.S. The snow graphics are blocked by UBlock, if you're using it.

If the chronology repeats, I expect we'll be seeing wobbly clocks following the cursor and notes about which browser you should use for the page soon. I've seen snow on a few websites recently, makes me rather nostalgic.

You can also find the source of both plugins here: https://github.com/EagerApps https://github.com/EagerApps Eager itself is a platform to allow non-technical website owners to install the all of the open-source and SaaS tools which technical people already have access to. If you already know how to add JavaScript to your page, Eager is more about convenience, not necessity.
- CM30 11y agoSo where's the use case for that? Sites offering tools like forums, guestbooks and counters worked because you couldn't host those things on 90s era free hosting where access to any form of server side programming was impossible. Javascript snow (and other visual gimmicks like this) are client side; even Geocities would have let you host it yourself. Most hosted services let you add some form of Javascript/HTML code somewhere.
