Status: ✅ COMPLETE Goal: Someone lands on the site, says "holy shit," and stars it
The playground becomes the ONLY site. No separate docs. No separate examples.
- Typewriter animation showing "an LLM building a dashboard"
- Show prompt appearing: "Build me a revenue dashboard with..."
- Show components materializing one by one (MetricCard → Chart → DataTable)
- Pure CSS/JS animation (zero tokens)
- One-liner: "Copy-paste UI patterns designed for LLM generation"
- Two buttons:
Browse Patterns|View on GitHub
Implementation: apps/playground/src/components/hero-animation.tsx
- Grid of all patterns with live mini-previews
- Click → full interactive demo with:
- Props panel (toggle props, see component update live)
- Code tab (copy component)
- Schema tab (copy Zod schema)
- Prompt tab (copy the prompt that generates this pattern)
Implementation: apps/playground/src/components/pattern-gallery.tsx
- Theme strip at the top — click through 8 themes
- Watch ALL patterns re-skin instantly
- Screenshot-worthy moment
Implementation: apps/playground/src/components/theme-showcase.tsx
- Split-screen mockup: left = chat prompt, right = rendered UI
- Pre-scripted typewriter (not real LLM)
- 3 pre-built scenarios:
- "Build a sales dashboard" → MetricCards + Chart + DataTable
- "Create a user management panel" → DataTable + DetailCard + AgentForm
- "Show me analytics insights" → Chart + InsightsList + MetricCard
- BYOK field: "Have an API key? Try it live"
