- Wrap #smooth-wrapper in an .app-shell: a fixed, inset, rounded, bordered
panel. Its transform makes it the containing block for the fixed wrapper, so
ScrollSmoother sizes the scroll viewport to the shell (content scrolls inside
it) without fighting ScrollSmoother's inline styles.
- Dock and corner controls stay outside the shell, on a brand-tinted 'desktop'
wallpaper painted on body.
- Reduced-motion path: the shell scrolls its content natively.
- Add (site)/template.tsx: one framer-motion enter animation (fade + rise +
blur) that runs on every navigation, so moving between dock pages has a
clean transition.
- Disable the staggered .hero-rise entrance now that the template handles it.
Replace the framer-motion hero entrance with pure-CSS staggered animations so
the hero is painted immediately instead of flashing blank until hydration.
Add a focused brand glow behind the hero title and an animated scroll cue at
the bottom of the home hero. Entrance and cue respect prefers-reduced-motion.
Replace the flat, empty hero background with a pure-CSS layered backdrop:
faded grid, brand glow, drifting brand orbs, grain, and a bottom fade that
blends the hero into page content. Applies to both the home hero and the
compact page heroes via HeroMotionBackdrop; respects prefers-reduced-motion.
- Replace animated blob/wave/noise backdrop with clean static gradient
(radial ellipse highlights + linear fade) in hero-motion-backdrop
- Remove all framer-motion from background layer; delete unused CSS
classes: hero-blob, hero-sheet-glow, hero-sheet-wave, hero-sheet-noise,
hero-title-shift keyframe, and responsive blob media queries
- Add framer-motion stagger entrance to HeroContentMotion, HeroMotionItem,
and HeroTitle (slide-up + fade on mount)
- Refactor coming-soon page to use HeroContentMotion/HeroMotionItem
instead of MotionFade (whileInView unreliable above the fold)
