The project uses Cloudinary for all hosted media assets.) --- KEY DESIGN DETAILS - Color palette: `#fcfcfc` (off-white bg), `#111` / `#1a1a1a` (near-black), `#0a0a0a` (dark section bg). Gray scale via Tailwind: `gray-300` through `gray-800`. - No purple/indigo anywhere. Strictly monochrome black/white/gray. - Typography hierarchy: Large display headings (3.5-5rem), mono labels (10-11px), body text (13-14px). - Spacing: 8px base system throughout. - Transitions: Most hover transitions 300-700ms. Button slide effect uses `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)`. Letter animations use same cubic bezier. - The page is entirely a single `App.tsx` component plus the `SandTransitionImage` helper function in the same file.
