Measured entry

8bitcn-footer1

footerskeuomorphismmotion on file

A retro, multi-column site footer shipped as a shadcn registry block, with configurable brand copy, navigation groups, copyright text, and a pixel-styled call to action. It uses Next.js Link, Tailwind theme classes, a cn utility, the 8bitcn button wrapper, the base shadcn button, class-variance-authority, Radix Slot, and a stylesheet that loads a Google font.

BARE BUILD

Verdict

A focused footer for retro Next.js interfaces, but the published registry payload does not build as tested because its 8bit button imports a missing base button. It needs a shadcn-style setup, including the expected utility alias and primitive, before it can mount. Avoid it when you need a drop-in block.

Use it if

  • You are building a Next.js site with a shadcn-style component layout and path aliases already configured.
  • Your product suits a deliberate retro or pixel-art visual language across navigation and calls to action.
  • You want footer copy and link groups supplied through props rather than embedded in a page template.

Skip it if

  • You need a framework-neutral footer or cannot use Next.js Link.
  • Your project cannot load the external Google font or must package fonts locally.
  • You want a production-ready install that builds without supplying missing shadcn primitives.
  • Your design system does not provide the Tailwind theme tokens and utility classes used by the block.

In a non-shadcn project, add the expected source aliases, a compatible cn helper, the base button primitive, Tailwind utilities and theme tokens, Next.js Link or an adapted link component, class-variance-authority, Radix Slot, and the retro stylesheet. Decide whether to permit the Google font request or host an equivalent font locally.
