Measured entry

fancy-float

hover-effect3dmotion on file

A client-side React wrapper that gives any child a continuous floating and rotating motion in three dimensions. It ships as a shadcn registry component, uses Motion's animation-frame and motion-value APIs, and imports a local cn utility through the standard project alias.

Verdict

A compact, flexible wrapper with a clean verified build and mount, but the continuous animation has no built-in reduced-motion behavior. Its bare mount fails, so it needs a shadcn-style setup or equivalent project wiring.

Use it if

  • You want ambient depth and movement around a hero card, product object, or decorative callout.
  • Your React app already uses Motion and can host a client-only component.
  • You need configurable drift, rotation, speed, or phase across several floating elements.

Skip it if

  • The content must remain visually still or your interface has strict reduced-motion requirements that you cannot add yourself.
  • You are avoiding a substantial animation dependency for one decorative effect.
  • Your design needs interaction-driven hover feedback rather than perpetual ambient movement.
  • Transforming the child would conflict with positioning or transforms already applied by its layout.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add Motion, provide a cn class-name helper, configure the project alias used by that helper import or replace it with a relative import, and ensure the framework supports client components. Also provide the will-change-transform utility or replace it with equivalent CSS.
