## Key concepts

**Mood** — atmosphere preset that defines a card's visual identity. Five available:
- **Romance** (#FF4D6D, pink) — for love notes, valentine's, anniversaries
- **Birthday** (#FFB840, gold) — for birthday wishes, celebrations
- **Proposal** (#7AB8FF, sky-blue) — for marriage proposals, big questions
- **Surprise** (#A78BFA, purple) — for unexpected moments, celebrations
- **Night** (#5C6BD0, indigo) — for good-night wishes, late notes

Each mood determines color palette, animation style, and music suggestions.

**Moment** — a created card. Interactive, animated, optionally with music, delivered via short URL.

## How it works (4 steps)

1. **Pick a mood** — choose one of 5 atmosphere presets
2. **Write your words** — personal message, recipient name, optional photo
3. **Add music** — pick a track or upload your own
4. **Share the link** — get a short URL, send via iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, email, anywhere

Total time: 2-4 minutes for first card.

## Use cases
