The homepage of golden-hi will feature a dynamic "writing canvas" animation. Upon landing, users will see a blank sheet of paper that "unfolds" in a smooth animation, revealing a sleek text editor interface. As users scroll, the paper will appear to extend infinitely, symbolizing endless possibilities for writing and creativity.

Additional features of the homepage:

• Interactive Toolbar Animation: The toolbar icons will animate subtly when hovered over, giving a tactile feel.
• Golden Ink Effect: When users type in the editor, the cursor will leave a faint golden trail that fades after a second, reinforcing the "golden" theme.
