🎨 Visual References

Think:

  • Apple - Clean, premium, spacious
  • Stripe - Modern, glassy, gradient accents
  • Linear - Sharp, fast, elegant animations
  • Notion - Organized, intuitive, calm

🔧 Tech Stack (No Changes)

  • React + Vite
  • React Router
  • React Three Fiber (viewer only)

📝 Next Action

Should I proceed with implementation?

Phase 1 would be:

  1. Create glassmorphism CSS file
  2. Create GlassCard & GlassButton components
