🎯 Issue Description

Enhance the GitHub Pages demonstration to include an interactive Focus Mode demo that showcases one of CueMode's key features - the intelligent text highlighting system with auto-scroll demonstration.

📋 Requirements

Core Focus Mode Effects

  • Central Focus Area: Create a clear focus reading area at 40%-60% of screen height
  • Gradient Blur Effect: Apply progressive blur to text outside the focus area to improve reading concentration
  • Visual Focus Indicator: Add a subtle border indicator to highlight the current focus zone
  • Semi-transparent Background: Enhance focus area with a subtle background highlight
  • Dynamic Scroll Tracking: Focus area should follow scroll position dynamically
  • Auto-scroll Demo: Continuous upward scrolling to showcase focus mode in action

Technical Implementation Details

1. Focus Area Positioning

  • Position focus zone at 40%-60% of viewport height (similar to extension implementation)
  • Maintain responsive design across different screen sizes
  • Center the focus area both horizontally and vertically

2. Blur Effect Implementation

  • Use CSS filter: blur() for text outside focus area
  • Implement 3-line buffer zone with gradient blur intensity
  • Buffer zone blur range: 30%-100% of maximum blur strength
  • Maximum blur strength: configurable (default: 1.5px)

3. Visual Indicators

  • Fixed position focus indicator with subtle border
  • Semi-transparent background overlay for focus area
  • Smooth CSS transitions (0.3s ease) for all focus effects
  • Responsive border styling that adapts to theme

4. Auto-scroll Demo

  • Continuous upward scrolling at optimal reading speed
  • Automatic direction change when reaching top/bottom
  • Smooth scrolling animation
  • Focus area effect updates in real-time during scroll

📱 Responsive Considerations

  • Ensure focus mode works seamlessly on mobile devices
  • Adapt focus area size for smaller screens
  • Maintain accessibility standards (WCAG AA compliance)
  • Test across different browsers and devices

🔧 Implementation Location

  • Add focus mode demo section after the hero section
  • Integrate with existing page structure and styling
  • Ensure compatibility with current CSS and JavaScript

📊 Success Criteria

  • Focus area correctly positioned at 40%-60% of viewport height
  • Gradient blur effect applied to text outside focus zone
  • Visual focus indicator displays properly
  • Semi-transparent background highlight visible
  • Auto-scroll demonstration runs smoothly
  • Focus area effect updates in real-time during scroll
  • Responsive design maintains quality on all devices
  • Smooth animations and transitions
  • Cross-browser compatibility
  • Accessibility compliance maintained

🎯 Expected Impact

This enhancement will:

  • Provide visitors with a realistic preview of Focus Mode functionality
  • Demonstrate the professional quality of CueMode's intelligent highlighting
  • Show how Focus Mode improves reading concentration during presentations
  • Increase user engagement through interactive demonstration
  • Serve as a compelling showcase for the extension's advanced features

💡 Simple User Interaction

  • Demo starts automatically when section comes into view
  • Users can manually scroll to test focus effects
  • Hover over demo area to pause auto-scroll (optional)
  • Click anywhere in demo area to toggle focus mode on/off

📝 Additional Notes

This streamlined demo should accurately represent the Focus Mode functionality as implemented in the VS Code extension, providing a clean and focused demonstration without complex controls. The auto-scroll feature will continuously showcase the dynamic focus area adjustment, giving users a clear understanding of how the feature works in practice.

The implementation should follow the same architectural patterns established in the extension's webview implementation, ensuring consistency and authenticity in the demonstration.
