Measured entry

kibo-stories

carouselminimal-flatmotion on file

A client-side React stories carousel shipped as a shadcn registry component. It composes image or hover-playing video cards with author, title, and gradient overlay primitives, and relies on the shadcn avatar and carousel components, Tailwind utility classes, Embla, Radix UI, the shared class-name helper, and Lucide icons pulled in by the carousel.

Verdict

A solid fit for an existing shadcn application that wants a composable story-card rail, but it is only the browsing surface, not a complete stories experience. The bare mount fails, so it needs a shadcn-style setup, and its narrow-screen overflow needs deliberate sizing or containment.

Use it if

  • You need a horizontally draggable strip of portrait story cards with optional images or hover-playing videos.
  • Your app already uses shadcn conventions and can reuse its avatar, carousel, theme tokens, and utility helper.
  • You want composable primitives so each card can arrange its own title, author, media, and overlays.

Skip it if

  • Your layout must never overflow a narrow mobile viewport without additional responsive sizing work.
  • You need a ready-made story viewer with progress indicators, modal playback, navigation, or viewed-state management.
  • You want a dependency-light carousel and do not already carry the shadcn, Embla, Radix UI, and Lucide stack.

In a non-shadcn project, add Tailwind with the expected theme tokens, the shared class-name utility, path aliases, the shadcn avatar and carousel components, and their Radix UI, Embla, Lucide, clsx, and tailwind-merge dependencies. Also provide client-component support and responsive container rules for narrow screens.
