## What it is
A collection of advanced CSS styles and Svelte demos that recreate realistic holographic (holofoil) effects for Pokemon trading card faces using transforms, gradients, blend modes, and filters. It serves as a showcase and reference implementation, with a related published component (hover-tilt) for easier reuse.

## Use cases
- create holographic card effects in css
- recreate pokemon holofoil shine on hover
- learn advanced css blend modes and gradients
- add 3d tilt and glare to trading cards
- build shiny foil card effects for a web game
- study css transform and filter techniques

## When to choose
- you want realistic holographic/foil card visuals in the browser
- you need a reference for advanced CSS blend-mode and gradient tricks
- you're building a card showcase or game UI with Svelte or plain CSS

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, supported UI component library
- you need non-card holographic effects with guaranteed support
- you require a framework-agnostic maintained package (the repo itself is a demo; use hover-tilt instead)
