  "what": "200+ copy-paste animated components built with Tailwind and Motion — 3D cards, parallax scroll, spotlight glows, animated text reveals, particle backgrounds. Premium adds hero blocks, feature sections and full templates.",
  "why": "Genuinely hard-to-reproduce visual effects for a cover story or a launch page. Dark-mode-first aesthetic, so expect editing to match a lighter editorial palette.",
  "warn": "<b>The free components have no clearly published open-source licence</b> — the licence page covers Pro terms only. For commercial project work that ambiguity is a real risk. Also: several components pull in Three.js, and the $199 tier is an annual subscription, not a one-time buy.",
