Measured entry

kibo-deck

carouselminimal-flatmotion on file

A client-side swipe deck that layers React card elements, animates horizontal dragging and card exits, and exposes controlled or uncontrolled index callbacks. It ships as a shadcn registry source file and relies on Motion, Radix controllable state, React, Tailwind utility classes, and the usual cn helper.

Verdict

A focused, working choice for Tinder-style card dismissal, with responsive rendering and a clean automated accessibility scan. Its API is flexible, but the component is intentionally narrow: teams still need to add visible controls and keyboard behavior when drag gestures cannot be the only path.

Use it if

  • You need a compact swipe-to-dismiss stack for choices, onboarding prompts, or review queues.
  • You want to control the active card from application state or react to left and right swipe callbacks.
  • Your interface already uses Tailwind and can absorb Motion as a runtime dependency.

Skip it if

  • You need a conventional carousel with previous and next controls, pagination, looping, or slide navigation.
  • Keyboard operation and explicit interactive semantics must work without adding your own controls and accessibility layer.
  • You want a lightweight static stack and cannot justify Motion for one gesture-driven interaction.

In a non-shadcn project, install React, Motion, Radix controllable state, lucide-react, clsx, and tailwind-merge. Add a compatible cn utility or change its alias import, configure Tailwind with the card and muted color tokens used by the classes, and render it from a client-capable module.
