The Lemon-Dashboard will feature an Interactive Galaxy Dashboard as its signature design concept.

Home Page Experience:

• The landing page will resemble a galaxy map, where each feature of the dashboard (e.g., Analytics, Campaigns, Earnings) is represented as a glowing star or planet.
• Users can hover over stars to reveal tooltips with feature descriptions, and clicking on a star will initiate a smooth zoom-in animation to navigate to that section.
• The galaxy background will feature subtle, animated nebulae and twinkling stars, creating a sense of depth and immersion.
• A dynamic accent gradient (purple to blue) will flow across the stars, reinforcing the fintech-inspired theme.

Micro-Interactions:

• Stars will gently pulse when hovered over, and planets will rotate slowly in 3D.
