Measured entry

8bitcn-calendar

calendarskeuomorphismdo not use

A pixel-art wrapper around the shadcn calendar, shipped through a shadcn registry with a retro font stylesheet. It depends on the base shadcn calendar, sibling button and select components, class-variance-authority, react-day-picker, the cn utility, Tailwind theme classes, and a Google-hosted font.

This entry is a do-not-use verdict

It is published because it broke, not in spite of it. The run stopped at the production build, and the recorded output is printed further down this page.

Verdict

Do not publish this registry item as verified yet. The build fails because the packaged source cannot resolve its sibling select component, while the bare build also lacks the sibling button. It needs a shadcn-style setup and the complete 8bit dependency set before it can mount.

Use it if

  • Your app already uses shadcn conventions and can install the matching 8bit button and select components.
  • You want month and year dropdowns plus pixel-style navigation controls in a retro interface.

Skip it if

  • You need a registry item that builds on its own without repairing missing sibling imports.
  • Your project cannot load an externally hosted Google font.
  • Your design system does not provide shadcn path aliases, theme tokens, and utility helpers.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add the base calendar, matching 8bit button and select components, react-day-picker, class-variance-authority, a cn-compatible utility, path aliases, Tailwind theme tokens, and the retro stylesheet. Replace or self-host the imported font if remote font loading is unsuitable.
