# Minimal Chat Box

> This is a minimal and professional chat box component built with React, Framer Motion, and Tailwind CSS. It features a clean, compact design with a subtle shadow, smooth open/close animation, and neutral colors for a modern look. Users can toggle the chat window, view messages in a scrollable pane, and send new messages via an input field. The design focuses on simplicity, readability, and usability, making it suitable for professional web applications without unnecessary visual clutter.
