Chris Messina commenting on this made me look twice - that's a strong signal for a screensaver app. left a review above, would be curious if there's any interest in a community module pack so people could contribute ports of the modules that aren't in yet.
This is such a nostalgic idea Which After Dark screensaver are you most excited to bring back?

Who hunted Afterglow?
Afterglow was hunted by Chris Messina. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
