Describe the enhancement

Add visually engaging background animations to the Hacktoberfest landing page to make it more festive and immersive.
Proposed ideas include:

  • Falling pumpkins πŸŽƒ / leaves πŸ‚ / confetti πŸŽ‰ animations using lightweight canvas or CSS particles.
  • Gradient glow and pulse effects that sync subtly with the countdown timer.
  • Hover-based light trails or spark animations when users move the mouse.
  • Use Framer Motion or Three.js (optional for 3D depth) while keeping performance optimized.
  • Ensure animations pause or reduce intensity for users with prefers-reduced-motion enabled.

Current vs. improved behavior

  • Current: Static background with a clean design β€” clear but visually minimal.

  • Improved: Adds motion, energy, and celebration to the Hacktoberfest section, aligning with the festival vibe.

    • Enhances user engagement.
    • Adds β€œwow factor” for visitors during Hacktoberfest.
    • Keeps animations smooth and non-intrusive (<60 FPS stable).
