    We're thrilled to announce a major UI/UX overhaul of the Wouver platform. Every core component has been redesigned from the ground up to deliver a modern, polished, and professional experience across all devices.

    ✨ Key Enhancements Overview

    This refactoring touched the entire visual layer of the application — from the authentication modals to product cards, navigation, and the global design system.

    🎯 AuthPromptModal — From Basic to Stunning

    The authentication prompt was completely reimagined:

  2. Animated hero section with Framer Motion
  3. Professional 4-column benefits grid
  4. Gradient call-to-action buttons
  5. Trust badges system
  6. Fully responsive and touch-friendly mobile layout
  7. Dark mode support out of the box
    8. ✓ Glassmorphism effects
✓ Staggered animations
✓ Multi-language support
✓ Professional typography
✓ Better visual hierarchy
✓ Touch-friendly mobile layout
✓ Dark mode support
