Blobbing is a small web toy I made as an experiment in generative doodling.

It starts with randomly placed dots and gradually turns them into an animated “blob”. The idea comes from a simple pen-and-paper practice: placing dots on a page and connecting them intuitively until a shape emerges.

This is a digital version of that idea — playful, a bit meditative, and intentionally imprecise. There’s a Zen mode that continuously generates blobs, and you can interact with finished shapes to nudge them into new forms.

It’s built with plain HTML canvas and JavaScript. No frameworks.
