HTML
<!-- Signal Loss — the caption collapses vertically to a thin bright
     line and recovers once per 6s cycle, like a CRT powering down.
     A single slow event per cycle — no repeated strobing. -->
<div class="nuda-gd2-signal-loss">
  <span class="nuda-gd2-signal-loss__text">NO SIGNAL</span>

How to use Signal Loss

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.
