Measured entry
8bitcn-faq2
A static FAQ section that renders configurable questions and answers as a retro card grid. It ships as a shadcn registry block with its own pixel-font stylesheet and card wrapper, but depends on a project cn utility, the base shadcn Card component, class-variance-authority, Tailwind utilities, and a Google Fonts import.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 791ms error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-687ff31e245c/src/components/ui/8bit/card.tsx".
Verdict
Do not publish this entry as working. The build cannot resolve the base shadcn Card import, and the bare case also lacks the cn utility. It needs a shadcn-style setup before it can compile, so teams seeking a drop-in standalone FAQ should avoid it.
Use it if
- You already use shadcn conventions and want a compact FAQ grid with a deliberately retro visual language.
- Your content is short, fixed, and better shown at once than hidden inside an accordion.
- You are comfortable loading the Press Start font from Google Fonts or replacing that import.
Skip it if
- You need collapsible answers, search, deep links, or other FAQ interaction.
- Your project does not use shadcn aliases and you do not want to recreate its utility and card foundations.
- Your FAQ copy is long, since the pixel font and card grid favor brief answers.
- External font requests conflict with your privacy, offline, or content security requirements.
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 cn class-merging utility, a compatible base Card module with all imported subcomponents, class-variance-authority, matching path aliases, Tailwind theme utilities, and the retro stylesheet. Also allow or replace the Google Fonts import.
