Measured entry
animata-hero-section-text-hover
hero-effect3dmotion on file
A React hero card with fixed travel copy, a call-to-action, and hover-triggered emoji bursts around two phrases. It ships as a shadcn registry component and relies on Tailwind utility classes, Lucide React for the map icon, and a local cn helper imported through the project alias.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 31.71s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/animata/hero/hero-section-text-hover.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A focused, playful effect that builds and mounts in the prepared harness, but it needs a shadcn-style setup and does not mount in a bare project. Use it as a starting point only if you can fix contrast and provide a non-hover path to the decorative content.
Use it if
- You want a playful travel-themed promo card with an obvious call-to-action.
- Your interface already uses Tailwind, Lucide React, and the usual shadcn utility alias.
- You are prepared to revise the fixed copy and emoji sets directly in the component.
Skip it if
- The interaction must work equally well for keyboard and touch users, since the decorative reveal is hover-only.
- You need an accessibility-clean component without first correcting the flagged text contrast.
- You need a generic hero driven by props, since the headline, button label, and emoji content are fixed in the source.
- You want a restrained or formal visual language rather than animated emoji decoration.
Install
| Declared dependencies | none declared |
|---|---|
| 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 Tailwind and Lucide React, provide a class-name merging helper, then configure the project alias used by the helper import or replace that import with a relative path. Ensure Tailwind scans the component source and preserves its arbitrary utility classes.
