Liquid glass morphing cards (CSS‑only)

  • Built with pure CSS – zero JavaScript required.
  • Uses CSS @property to animate conic‑gradient spinning borders.
  • Hover shine effect driven by custom properties --shine-x and --shine-y.
  • Applies backdrop-filter for refraction depth.
  • Adds grain overlay via SVG feTurbulence.
  • Features staggered sparkline bars for visual flair.

All of these effects are achieved solely with CSS.
