Animation Starter Project

A clean and simple Next.js + TypeScript starter project designed for experimenting with web animations. Use this as a foundation to build, test, and learn animations using popular libraries like GSAP, Framer Motion, or custom CSS/JS motion techniques.

🎯 Purpose

This project provides a minimal setup to:

• Experiment with different animation libraries and techniques
• Learn animation concepts in a modern React/Next.js environment
• Build interactive and animated web experiences
• Test and compare various animation approaches
