  "what": "Layer-based real-time canvas stacking 75+ shader effects — distortion, noise, bloom, godrays, mouse trails — into an animated visual you publish as a live WebGL embed. This is the tool behind most of the animated gradient heroes you see on Framer sites.",
  "why": "<b>The cheap way to get one showpiece background</b> — a cover hero or a section divider. Runtime is only ~50 kB gz, far lighter than Spline. Official React export button, or use the community <code>unicornstudio-react</code> package.",
  "warn": "Free tier is watermarked <b>and non-commercial</b> — any commercial use needs the $20/mo. Every layer is a separate shader pass, so effects stack fast on low-end devices; use data-us-lazyload and data-us-scale. Cancel and republish, and the watermark returns.",
