The application implements a sophisticated date calculation system:
- Base Calculation: Compares birth date with today's date to get initial year, month, and day differences
- Edge Case Handling:
- If remaining days are negative, borrows 1 month and adds the previous month's days
- If remaining months are negative, borrows 1 year and adds 12 months
- Total Days: Calculates precise total days lived using millisecond-accurate date math
- Next Birthday: Intelligently determines days until next birthday, handling year rollovers
- Animated Transitions: Values smoothly animate from current to target numbers over 600ms with cubic easing
- Pop Animation: Result values briefly scale up (108%) when updating for visual feedback
- Staggered Display: Extra statistics animate in sequence (150ms delay) for elegant reveal
- Date Validation:
- Prevents selection of future dates
- Requires valid date input
- Shows clear error messages
- Primary Background: Warm beige (#f2ede6)

- Accent: Elegant brown (#b5713a)
- Accent Light: Warm tan (#d4935c) for hover states
- Text Primary: Deep brown (#231f1a)

- Display Font: Cormorant Garamond (serif) - elegant, sophisticated
- Body Font: DM Sans (sans-serif) - clean, readable
