Measured entry

kibo-gantt

calendarminimal-flatmotion on file

A client-side React Gantt toolkit shipped as a shadcn registry component, with composable timeline, sidebar, marker, and draggable task pieces. It relies on dnd-kit, date-fns, Jotai, usehooks, lodash.throttle, Lucide, shadcn Card and Context Menu primitives, and the shared cn utility.

Verdict

A capable foundation for teams willing to own the scheduling behavior and accessibility pass. It builds and mounts in the prepared harness, but the unlabeled icon button is a release blocker. It needs a shadcn-style setup because the bare project cannot resolve its shared utility import.

Use it if

  • You need a project timeline with draggable tasks, resize handles, markers, and multiple calendar ranges.
  • Your product already uses shadcn conventions and can wire task data, move callbacks, and add-item behavior around composable primitives.
  • You want a timeline that stays contained at narrow and wide viewport sizes while supporting a sticky task sidebar.

Skip it if

  • You need an accessible release without first labeling the icon-only add control and auditing the drag interactions.
  • You want a small dependency footprint or do not want state, date, hook, drag-and-drop, icon, and throttle packages for one widget.
  • You need a drop-in chart with persistence, dependency links, critical paths, or scheduling rules already implemented.
  • Your app is not prepared to adopt shadcn aliases, theme tokens, and copied UI primitives.

For a non-shadcn project, add the aliased shared cn utility, Card and Context Menu primitives, compatible theme tokens, and the registry's React dependencies. Configure the alias used by the imports, then give the icon-only add button an accessible name before shipping.
