Measured entry

animata-hero-section

hero-effectgradient-glowdo not use

A React TSX hero with animated branding, interactive copy, action buttons, and a card stack that changes as visitors move across highlighted words. It ships as source code and relies on Tailwind utilities, a shadcn-style button and class helper, an image asset, plus several sibling Animata text and widget components.

This entry is a do-not-use verdict

It is published because it broke, not in spite of it. The run stopped at the production build, and the recorded output is printed further down this page.

Verdict

Treat this as an Animata composition recipe, not a drop-in hero. The build fails because the copied source cannot resolve its TypingText sibling, and more local pieces sit behind it. It needs a shadcn-style setup as well. Teams unwilling to vendor that component tree should avoid it.

Use it if

  • You are already using Animata and can bring over the hero's related text and widget components.
  • You want an exploratory product hero whose card stack responds to pointer and keyboard focus.
  • Your design system already has Tailwind utilities, path aliases, and a compatible button primitive.

Skip it if

  • You need a standalone component that builds immediately after copying one source file.
  • Your project does not use Tailwind or shadcn-style primitives and you do not want to recreate that setup.
  • You want a conventional conversion-focused hero rather than an interactive showcase of several embedded widgets.
  • You cannot import the missing TypingText module and the other Animata sibling components.

In a non-shadcn project, add a compatible button primitive and class-merging helper, configure the source and public-asset aliases, enable the required Tailwind utilities and animation classes, copy the logo asset, and bring over TypingText, WaveReveal, Cycling, DirectionCard with its sample props, and WaterTracker.
