Pure CSS lighting system that derives element shadows and highlights from one light source.
kikkupico.github.io/ambientcss/repositorydocs
AmbientCSS is a pure CSS lighting framework. The README describes defining a light source on a parent element, after which shadows, highlights and surface gradients follow from it. It is set up with light-direction classes and CSS custom properties, and the package has zero dependencies. The documentation calls it a small design system in two packages: @ambientcss/css, with the lighting primitives and utility classes, and @ambientcss/components, a set of React controls built on them. This record is the CSS package.
Worth knowing
The project has no GitHub release or tag, and its versions are published to npm only.
