Spotlight

A spotlight effect with Tailwind CSS, good for drawing attention to a particular element on the page.

Spotlight
is the new trend.

Spotlight effect is a great way to draw attention to a specific part of the page. Here, we are drawing the attention towards the text section of the page. I don't know why but I'm running out of copy.
