Measured entry
8bitcn-cta1
A retro-styled comparison CTA that presents configurable feature rows as a yours-versus-theirs table. It ships as a shadcn registry block with a TSX component, a themed card wrapper, and retro font CSS. It depends on the cn utility, the base shadcn Card, class-variance-authority, Tailwind theme classes, and a Google Fonts import.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 982ms error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-a33c385ef078/src/components/ui/8bit/card.tsx".
Verdict
Publish as a failed verification. The build cannot resolve the base shadcn Card imported by the themed wrapper, so the component never mounts. It needs a shadcn-style setup, including the expected aliases and shared primitives. Teams seeking a ready-to-paste standalone block should avoid it until that wiring is repaired.
Use it if
- You need a compact product comparison section with replaceable labels and rows.
- Your app already uses shadcn Card primitives, Tailwind theme tokens, and the standard cn helper.
- A pixel-art visual treatment fits the surrounding interface.
Skip it if
- You need a drop-in component for a plain React or non-shadcn project.
- You expect the section to include an actual call-to-action control rather than only comparison copy.
- Your design system cannot load the bundled external retro font or support its Tailwind utility classes.
- You need a verified build without repairing registry dependency wiring first.
Install
| Declared dependencies | clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add the expected path aliases, a cn class-merging helper, compatible base Card primitives, class-variance-authority, Tailwind theme utilities, and the retro stylesheet. Either preserve the Google Fonts import or replace it with a locally approved font source.
