[UI/UX] Add a Letter-by-Letter Hero Title Animation on Initial Page Load #192

Description

@RajD2910

Problem

The hero section loads instantly, which feels static despite the application's modern cyber-themed design. The main title, "CyberShield URL Scanner", could have a more engaging entrance animation to create a stronger first impression.

Proposed Enhancement

Animate the hero title so that each character appears sequentially on the first page load, creating a smooth typing/trail effect.

For example:

or reveal each letter individually with a subtle fade and upward motion:

C → y → b → e → r → S → h → i → e → l → d

The animation should:

Play only once when the page is initially loaded.
Use smooth easing and a short delay (40–80 ms) between letters.
Maintain readability and avoid delaying interaction with the page.
Respect users with prefers-reduced-motion by disabling or simplifying the animation.

Expected Behavior

On the first visit/page load, the hero title animates letter by letter.
Subsequent interactions should remain smooth without replaying the animation unnecessarily (unless the page is refreshed).

Benefits

Creates a memorable first impression.
Better complements the cybersecurity aesthetic.
Makes the landing page feel more polished and interactive.
Enhances perceived quality without affecting usability.
