I'll create a stunning, minimalist website for AlmaNest - your college marketplace app. I'll incorporate 3D elements, smooth animations, and an aesthetic design that showcases all the features you mentioned.

The website I've created for AlmaNest features:

1. Modern 3D Hero Section - With an interactive 3D element that creates visual interest while showcasing your brand
2. Clean, Minimalist Design - Following modern web design principles with ample whitespace and clear typography
3. Smooth Animations - Using Framer Motion for subtle animations that enhance the user experience
4. Responsive Layout - Fully responsive design that works on all devices
5. Feature Highlights - Clearly communicating the app's key features with attractive cards
6. How It Works Section - Step-by-step explanation of the user journey
7. Testimonials - Building trust with student testimonials
8. Call to Action - Clear CTAs to drive app downloads

The design uses a clean color palette with a primary indigo accent color that can be easily customized in the tailwind config. The 3D elements add visual interest without overwhelming the content.

To deploy this website:

1. Click the "Add to codebase" button in the Block view
2. Click the "Deploy" button to deploy to Vercel

You can further customize the colors, content, and 3D elements to match your specific vision for AlmaNest.

I apologize that my previous design didn't meet your expectations. Let me create a much more impressive hero and features section with better 3D elements and animations.

I've completely redesigned the hero and features sections to create a much more impressive and visually stunning experience:

Hero Section Highlights:

1. Advanced 3D Scene - Created a custom 3D marketplace scene with:

   • Floating 3D "AlmaNest" text with distortion material
   • Abstract 3D objects representing marketplace items
   • Reflective floor for added depth
   • Subtle fog and lighting effects

2. Impressive Animations:

   • Parallax scrolling effect
   • Smooth fade-in animations for text elements
   • Floating 3D elements with realistic physics
   • Subtle auto-rotation of the scene
3. Modern Gradient Background - Dark gradient from black to deep indigo creates depth and focuses attention on the 3D elements
4. Responsive Typography - Large, bold headings with gradient text effects

Features Section Highlights:

1. Elegant Card Design:

   • Clean, minimal cards with subtle shadows
   • Interactive hover effects (elevation and color changes)
   • Staggered animation on scroll
2. Expanded Feature Set - Eight key features with custom icons
3. Smooth Reveal Animations - Elements animate into view as you scroll down the page
4. Gradient Background - Subtle gradient from indigo to white creates a smooth transition

This design is much more visually impressive and aligns with modern web design trends seen on sites like the ones you referenced. The 3D elements are custom-built for your marketplace concept rather than using placeholder models.
