  "what": "215 components — 33 text animations, 52 effects, 58 UI components, 72 backgrounds — each shipped in four variants (JS/TS × CSS/Tailwind). Installs via the shadcn registry. 45k stars. Has an llms.txt listing every component and its exact install command.",
  "why": "The text-animation set is the relevant half: SplitText and GlitchText for feature headlines and pull quotes. The WebGL backgrounds (Galaxy, LiquidEther, Plasma) look spectacular and cost hundreds of KB — use at most one, on a landing page.",
  "warn": "Components drag in real peer deps: gsap, motion, three, @react-three/fiber, ogl, lenis. Install per-component and read the dep list on each page. Commons Clause bars selling the components themselves.",
