Key Features & Implementation

1. Interactive Hero Section

const Hero = () => {
  const [currentIndex, setCurrentIndex] = useState(1);
  const [hasClicked, setHasClicked] = useState(false);
  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(true);
  // ... more state declarations

  const playWhooshSound = () => {
    if (whooshSoundRef.current && window.isAudioEnabled) {
      whooshSoundRef.current.currentTime = 0;
      const playPromise = whooshSoundRef.current.play();
      // ... sound handling logic
    }
  };

  // ... more implementation details
};
  • Implemented a dynamic video switching system with smooth transitions
  • Created custom loading states and mobile-responsive preview functionality
  • Integrated audio feedback for user interactions

2. Advanced Animation System

const AnimatedTitle = ({ title, containerClass }) => {
    const containerRef = useRef(null);
    useEffect(() => {
        const ctx = gsap.context(() => {
            const titleAnimation = gsap.timeline({
                scrollTrigger: {
                    trigger: containerRef.current,
                    start: '100 bottom',
                    end: 'center bottom',
                    toggleActions: 'play none none reverse'
                }
            });
            // ... animation implementation
        });
    }, []);
}

3. Interactive Features Gallery

const BentoTilt = ({children, className = ''}) => {
    const [transformStyle, setTransformStyle] = useState('');
    const itemRef = useRef();
    
    const handelMouseMove = (e) => {
        if(!itemRef.current) return;
        const {left, top, width, height} = itemRef.current.getBoundingClientRect();
        // ... tilt calculation logic
    }
    
    // ... more implementation details
}
