An animated aurora background and sweeping spotlight beam — ported from Aceternity's Framer Motion components into pure CSS, running in our static Tailwind stack.
Framer Motion's whileInView becomes an IntersectionObserver; the rotating conic border is a CSS @property animation.
Each card fades + lifts in once it crosses the viewport. Staggered so the row feels alive, not all-at-once.
A single accent arc sweeps the perimeter via a rotating conic-gradient — no images, no JS, GPU-cheap.
Same tokens as production — accent red, glass cards, Unbounded display. The effect ports without touching the system.
The shadcn dot-matrix loader, rebuilt as a CSS grid of dots with a staggered wave pulse. Drop it in front of form submits or async loads to keep the brand present while the user waits.
