## What it is

React and Tailwind CSS component library that uses Motion for animation, aimed at landing pages and marketing sites.

## What it’s for

To assemble animated landing page sections (heroes, cards, backgrounds, text effects) without writing the animations from scratch.

## Benefits

- More than 118 free animated components, such as backgrounds, cards, carousels, text effects and 3D elements
- More than 183 ready-made blocks (hero, feature grid, pricing, navbar, footer) installable through the shadcn CLI
- MCP integration so coding agents can install components into the project

## Caveats

- According to the site, blocks, templates and full pages require the paid All-Access pass; the components are free
- The page doesn't state pricing or license terms
- In one of the reels, the identification is a likely match made by name
