🎨 Animation Details

Digit Change Animation

@keyframes digitChange {
    0% { transform: rotateY(0deg) scale(1); }
    25% { transform: rotateY(90deg) scale(0.8); }
    75% { transform: rotateY(-90deg) scale(0.8); }
    100% { transform: rotateY(0deg) scale(1); }
}

Number Flip Effect

@keyframes numberFlip {
    0% { transform: rotateX(0deg); opacity: 1; }
    50% { transform: rotateX(90deg); opacity: 0.3; color: #60a5fa; }
    100% { transform: rotateX(0deg); opacity: 1; }
}
