I’m looking for an honest teardown of this design. I’ve leaned heavily into motion and custom shaders, but I’m worried the "wow factor" might be masking fundamental flaws in hierarchy or usability.

Don't hold back if it’s over designed, laggy, or the navigation feels like a chore, tell me.

Tech Stack: Next.js, Framer Motion, Shaders.

What I need to know:

1. Visual Friction: Are the animations actually enhancing the experience, or are they just getting in the way?

2. Polish: Point out where the typography or spacing feels "amateur."

3.Performance: Does it feel heavy or clunky on your end?

4. Interaction: Is there anything that feels "broken" or unintuitive?

I'm a student and I just finished this project for my portfolio. I tried to do something different with the navigation and the visuals, but I’m worried it might be frustrating for a first-time visitor.
