Key Features of the App:

• Smooth Transitions: The quotes smoothly fade in and fade out for a pleasant visual experience.
• Modern UI: The app has a modern design, with a gradient background, sleek buttons, and a stylish font to provide a fresh and motivating atmosphere.

Let’s Break Down the Code:

1. HTML Structure:

The app consists of a heading, a paragraph for the quote, another paragraph for the author, and a button to fetch a new quote.

<h2>🌟 Daily Motivation 🌟</h2>
<p class="quote" id="quote">Loading...</p>
<p class="author" id="author"></p>
<button onclick="getQuote()">New Quote</button>

2. CSS Styling:

The app uses a gradient background, a transparent container with a blur effect, and modern button hover effects for a polished look.

body {
    background: linear-gradient(135deg, #ff9a9e, #fad0c4);
    height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    margin: 0;
}

3. JavaScript Functionality:

JavaScript is used to handle the random quote selection, with a fade-in and fade-out effect for smooth transitions.

• getQuote(): This function fetches a random quote and updates the content smoothly by fading it in.
• Quote Array: An array of motivational quotes and their authors.

const quotes = [
    { text: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do.", author: "Steve Jobs" },
    { text: "Believe you can and you're halfway there.", author: "Theodore Roosevelt" },
    { text: "Your limitation—it's only your imagination.", author: "Unknown" },
    { text: "Push yourself, because no one else is going to do it for you.", author: "Unknown" },
    { text: "Great things never come from comfort zones.", author: "Unknown" },
    { text: "Dream big and dare to fail.", author: "Norman Vaughan" },
    { text: "Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.", author: "Sam Levenson" }
];

function getQuote() {
    let randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * quotes.length);
    let quote = quotes[randomIndex];

    // Apply fade-out effect
    document.getElementById("quote").style.opacity = 0;

    setTimeout(() => {
        document.getElementById("quote").innerText = `"${quote.text}"`;
        document.getElementById("author").innerText = `- ${quote.author}`;
        document.getElementById("quote").style.opacity = 1; // Fade-in effect
    }, 500);
}

// Load a quote when the page opens
window.onload = getQuote;
