Day 5/5 - Shared Layout Tabs by Govind Ramachandran

Let’s create a Smooth Tab Navigation experience — inspired by Ben’s thoughtful transitions — where switching tabs doesn’t feel abrupt, but instead flows between sections, maintaining context, spatial awareness, and layout integrity.

This implementation uses React, Framer Motion, and TailwindCSS to create:

✅ Smooth content fade & layout morph ✅ Persistent height with layout transitions ✅ Animated underline to track active tab

🎨 Features:

• Underline tracker with layoutId for buttery smooth tab transitions

• AnimatePresence for fading and sliding content in and out

• Height-aware layout animation with layout to prevent jumpy transitions

• Responsive design out of the box

Want to make this even more fluid?

• 🧠 Add content morphing based on tab context

• 🌈 Include blended background transitions

• 🔊 Sound or haptic feedback (on mobile)
