Poly

This is a React package, it can't be used on a normal webpage.

Limitations

Since backdrop-filter is only supported in Safari dom-to-image is used to capture an image of the webpage so that it can blur the background. This is quite resource intensive so it needs to be manually updated when needed. Another problem is that dom-to-image does not support capturing webpages featuring CORS protected resources. This can be circumvented if you're using Electron by turning off websecurity.

How do i use it?

To install Poly run npm i react-poly, import it and then use it like this:

<Poly blur={12} tint={[255,255,255,0.66]}>
    <div className="preview" style={{ height: '450px', width: '750px' }}>
      <h1>Poly</h1>
      <p>A beautiful pane of Polymetylmetakrylat.</p>
    </div>
</Poly>
