A silly recreation of the Rain Vortex at Jewel Changi Airport, but it’s node_modules instead of water.

# Motivation

I had a spark of motivation after seeing this tweet:

Good news everyone, I finally found where all of our node_modules go! They’re in the Jewel Rain Vortex at the Singapore airport. pic.twitter.com/53j8MnMThI

I wanted to create a visualization of what yarn install does to your filesystem but make it looks like files are falling down from Changi Jewel’s Rain Vortex (instead of water).

The end result is a 3D recreation of the Jewel using THREE.js where filenames dropping down from the top whenever a file is created on the file system.

I have a winner now: #Jewel but node_modules #SuperSillyHackathon pic.twitter.com/HUuVOHF68b
