Aura Glass Bento Notification
Live Preview
A premium notification card that blends high-end glassmorphism with a modular bento grid layout. The component focuses on extreme typographic contrast, utilizing a large serif display face against a minimalist sans-serif for metadata. It features a subtle noise texture generated via SVG filters to enhance the tactile feel of the glass, while CSS-based parallax and hover effects provide a tactile, responsive user experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the tactile noise texture generated without external image assets?
The component utilizes an inline SVG filter defined with the feTurbulence primitive. This filter creates a synthetic noise pattern that is applied as a CSS background-image overlay with a low opacity to simulate a physical glass texture.
Which CSS properties are primarily responsible for the glassmorphism effect?
The visual style is achieved using a combination of backdrop-filter: blur() for the frosted background effect, a semi-transparent border to simulate edge highlights, and a background-color set with alpha transparency (RGBA or HSLA).
How is the parallax hover effect implemented to ensure smooth performance?
The parallax effect is driven by CSS 3D transforms, specifically using perspective in the parent container and rotateX/rotateY on the child card. Performance is optimized by applying will-change: transform to trigger GPU hardware acceleration.
How does the component handle the typographic contrast between serif and sans-serif faces?
The layout utilizes a strict CSS variable-based hierarchy where the large serif display face is assigned a high font-weight and optical sizing, while the sans-serif metadata is mapped to a secondary font-family with increased letter-spacing for legibility.
Is the bento grid layout responsive for mobile devices?
Yes, the component uses CSS Grid with fractional units and media queries to reconfigure the grid-template-areas. On smaller screens, the multi-column bento layout automatically stacks into a single-column vertical flow while maintaining consistent padding.
