Hmm, the parabolic ones seem to be broken? Both on FF and Chromium, they just display as an outline of a single shape on a black background.

Move the sliders.

Each one can be copied as inline SVG or CSS using the background-image property with a data URI. Most are under 1KB.

This is very cool but hasn’t it been around for like a decade?

Good memory. I launched in 2018 (8 years ago) and have been adding more graphics over the years -- doubling this specific collection / freebies.

I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff, but I'm usually disappointed after clicking the link. These on the other hand are excellent, and that they have configurable options like stroke, color, etc is gravy on the top. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the kind words! I've played around a lot with SVG and love how you can change various attributes to achieve cool effects.

Like this user has a comment history of hyping show HN

I mean isn't that what show HN is for? Plus wasn't just hype, I was generally interested in getting more info on the SEO side of this project.

I've had a lot of nice people try out my own projects and leave comments in the past and it meant a lot to me so I'm just trying to pass that forward.

Yes, I was lucky enough to find a keyword domain that was available. Would recommend :)

What's the license?
visiwig 18 hours ago|
The license can be found here: svgbackgrounds.com/license

Summary: You can use graphics in personal or commercial projects, you cannot use the graphics as the primary integrity of your product, you must provide attribution (svgbackgrounds.com/attribution)

And before anyone rips off my head, attribution can be placed inside commented out code, so it doesn't need to take away from your design.
