Lights Out Empty State: a Halloween micro-interaction

Eyes blink in the dark until you switch the lights on. A free, live empty state for spooky season.

Updated November 2026

Add the Lights Out Empty State to React or Next.js

  1. Pick an animation above. Open it in ExodeUI to change its text and colours, or keep it as it is.
  2. Download the .bexode file and put it in your public folder.
  3. Install the runtime with npm i exodeui.
  4. Render it with ExodeUICanvas. Taps and hovers work out of the box.
import { ExodeUICanvas } from 'exodeui';

export function LightsOutEmptyState() {
  return (
    <ExodeUICanvas
      src="/ui-gallery/files/lights-out.bexode"
      autoPlay
      style={{ width: 400, height: 300 }}
    />
  );
}
