Navigation Mega Menu
Glassmorphic nav with animated mega panels — FrankX-branded
The Design Brief
Build a top navigation bar for frankx.ai with a mega menu. Include: (1) Logo + main nav items (Products, Design Lab, Watch, Blog, About), (2) At least 2 items trigger a full mega menu panel on hover/click, (3) Mega menu panel uses glassmorphism with featured card + link grid, (4) Smooth animated panel reveal (slide + fade, not jump), (5) Keyboard accessible (Tab moves through items, Enter opens panel, Escape closes), (6) Mobile hamburger menu with slide-in drawer. Brand: dark background #0A0F1E, purple accent #AB47C7, cyan secondary #43BFE3.
Constraints
- Keyboard accessible — WCAG 2.1 AA nav landmark and keyboard nav
- Panel animation under 300ms total (open) and 200ms (close)
- Mobile hamburger required at <768px breakpoint
- No layout shift when panel opens — use absolute positioning
- Reduced motion: panels appear instantly, no animation
- Brand colors only: #0A0F1E, #AB47C7, #43BFE3, rgba(255,255,255,0.08)
Judging Criteria

About This Experiment
Navigation is the first interactive element users touch. A well-designed mega menu reveals product depth while staying scannable. This experiment challenges agents to build a glassmorphic navigation bar with animated mega menu panels — keyboard accessible, brand-aligned, and animated without feeling heavy.
