Measured entry
efferd-image-gallery-1
imageminimal-flatmotion on file
A responsive, column-based image gallery shipped as a client React block plus a reusable lazy-image helper. It uses Motion for viewport detection, a Radix-backed Aspect Ratio component, Tailwind utility classes, and the shadcn-style cn helper. The supplied gallery fills itself with randomized remote demo images.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1m 21s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/image-gallery/1/lazy-image.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A solid visual starter for shadcn-based projects, with clean responsive behavior and useful deferred image loading. It is still demo-oriented, and bare use fails because it needs a shadcn-style setup. Replace the randomized remote content and correct the image semantics before shipping.
Use it if
- You want a ready-made editorial or inspiration gallery with mixed landscape and portrait cards.
- Your app already uses shadcn conventions, Tailwind utilities, and path aliases.
- You need images to wait for viewport entry before their sources are assigned.
Skip it if
- You need a true masonry layout that packs items by height instead of splitting them into fixed columns.
- You require deterministic server rendering, since aspect ratios are randomized during render.
- You need production content wiring, captions, selection, or lightbox behavior out of the box.
- Your accessibility policy rejects decorative image roles paired with meaningful alt text without adjustment.
Install
| Declared dependencies | motion, radix-ui |
|---|---|
| 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 React, Motion, the Radix Aspect Ratio primitive, compatible Tailwind utilities, a cn class-merging helper, and aliases matching the component imports. Alternatively, rewrite those imports to local paths and reproduce the expected theme classes. Replace the demo image services with your own data source.
