<!-- No Signal — SMPTE-style color bars under a drifting static-noise
     overlay, with a captioned "NO SIGNAL" tag that dips briefly once
     per 4s cycle. Reduced motion: bars stay put, caption stays solid. -->

How to use No Signal

Paste the HTML where you need it and the CSS into a global stylesheet (or a <style> tag). Every class is prefixed nuda- so it never collides with Tailwind or your own styles. Tweak the CSS custom properties to match your design system.

Works in React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Next.js, Nuxt, Laravel Blade, Django, Rails — or a single .html file. No npm install, no build step.
