Measured entry
8bitcn-friend-list
A retro friend roster that shows avatar fallbacks, presence, activity, and an online summary inside a fixed-height scroll area. It ships as a shadcn registry block with its own themed card, avatar, scroll-area, and font CSS, and depends on React, Tailwind utilities, Radix primitives, CVA, and a cn helper.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 789ms error during build: [vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-791ad4d49817/src/cut/components/ui/8bit/blocks/friend-list.tsx".
Verdict
A distinctive, usable roster for game and community interfaces, and it builds and mounts without a provider. Adopt it only if the pixel treatment fits your product, then fix the status-marker semantics and narrow-screen overflow before shipping.
Use it if
- You need a compact player or community roster with visible presence and activity.
- Your product already uses pixel-art styling and can accommodate the bundled retro font and hard-edged frames.
- You want a data-driven display component with optional status and activity text.
Skip it if
- The list must fit narrow mobile screens without adapting its width or spacing.
- You require a clean accessibility audit before making source changes, since the status markers use an invalid ARIA attribute.
- You need friend actions, grouping, search, or live presence behavior rather than a read-only roster.
- Your design system cannot absorb shadcn-style theme tokens, path aliases, and bundled retro styling.
Install
| Declared dependencies | radix-ui, @radix-ui/react-scroll-area, 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 Radix avatar and scroll-area primitives, CVA, class-merging utilities, a compatible card primitive, the cn helper, Tailwind theme tokens, and the included retro CSS and font import. Rewrite the path aliases to match your source tree.
