**LocalCloud Intelligence**

Ready to analyze your local data...

![LocalCloud Mascot](https://local.cloud/brand/localcloud-mark.svg)

### How it works

- **CSS Perspective:** Uses `perspective` and `rotate` transforms to give the IDE window a 3D depth.
- **Layered Glows:** Radial gradients with high blur values (100px+) and `drift` animations create the immersive background.
- **Floating Mascot:** Uses `drop-shadow` and a custom keyframe animation to make the LocalCloud mark "drift" in 3D space.
- **Intersection Observer:** The typing animation only triggers when the component is scrolled into view.
