A little reminder. If you are going to use a component with blur effect in more than one place on the page. It may cause performance problems on phones.

[@OptimisticWeb]

Appreciate you bringing up this important consideration. You're right; CSS filters can impact performance on some devices and browsers.

Couldn’t you just do background: inherit?

[@OptimisticWeb]

Yes, background: inherit could be an option. Thank you for pointing this out!

don't people have like 5 level of shadows/elevation? all of that codes seem overkill just for one shadow, I prefer something more flexible and can be used with css variable

This is not a replacement for the box-shadow property in any way; rather, it offers a method to create more organic gradient shadows, just like we see in the physical world. Yes, you can use multiple box-shadows but achieving realistic lighting with a multicolored effect can be challenging. I've encountered instances where UI designs couldn't achieve the desired results with the box-shadow property alone. While this technique may seem like overkill, it serves as an alternative for such designs. Ultimately, it all depends on the requirements and personal preferences.
