Magic UI

Animated components for landing pages. Spotlight effects, bento grids, scroll reveals.

Lv.2 TweakerFreeUI

In plain English

Like adding special effects to a movie. Your movie already works, but now things glow, slide in, and catch people's attention. It turns 'fine' into 'wow'.

Real-world example

You built a landing page for your freelance business. It works but looks plain. You add a spotlight effect that follows the cursor, a bento grid for your services, and a scroll-triggered animation. Now it looks like a $10K agency site.

Where this fits in your project

This is your UI polish layer. Use it to make specific sections of your site feel premium and modern.

When to use this

When your landing page looks boring and you want those modern animated effects — spotlight cursors, bento grids, gradient text, scroll reveals.

The situation

You already have a working page but it needs that 'wow' factor. Or you're building a landing page and want it to look like a top Y Combinator startup.
