    When it makes sense. Keep The Design Futurist, or challenge it?

    Keep if

    • You're building a Framer site that has to stand out visually.
    • You want 3D or advanced animation without writing WebGL.

    Challenge if

    • You don't use Framer — these components work nowhere else.
    • Your site prioritises restraint and load speed above all.
