Measured entry
animata-product-features
hero-effectspatialmotion on file
A shadcn registry hero that presents a fixed headline, CTA, and three overlapping product cards with entrance and hover motion. It ships as a React component styled with Tailwind utilities, uses Motion and react-wrap-balancer, expects a project-level cn helper, and loads its sample imagery from an external host.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 32.81s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/animata/hero/product-features.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A distinctive option for a playful storefront, but it is closer to a themed starting point than a reusable product component. It needs a shadcn-style setup to build and mount, plus accessibility fixes and a full content pass before production use.
Use it if
- You want a playful retail hero built around a compact stack of product imagery.
- Your project already uses Tailwind utilities and a shadcn-style source layout.
- You are prepared to replace the fixed ceramics copy, images, and CTA in the source.
Skip it if
- You need a reusable hero whose content is supplied through props or a CMS.
- You cannot ship externally hosted imagery or need strict control over asset delivery.
- You need an accessibility-ready component without contrast and document-heading cleanup.
- You want a lightweight static hero without an animation runtime.
Install
| Declared dependencies | motion@^12.38.0, react-wrap-balancer@^1.1.1 |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | motion@^12.38.0, react-wrap-balancer@^1.1.1 |
| 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 with the utility syntax this source expects, install Motion and react-wrap-balancer, configure the at-sign source alias, and provide the cn class-merging helper under the matching lib path. Replace or self-host the remote images, then review heading structure and color contrast in the final page.
