Measured entry
kokonut-liquid-glass-card
A client-side React liquid-glass card and matching button, presented as an interactive music player. It ships through a shadcn registry and builds on Tailwind utility classes, class-variance-authority, Lucide icons, Next Image, shadcn Card and Button primitives, and the usual cn helper.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1m 49s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/kokonutui/liquid-glass-card.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A credible, adaptable glass-card implementation with useful interaction and accessibility details. It needs a shadcn-style setup and carries more styling and dependency weight than a basic card, so it fits established design-system projects better than lean standalone apps.
Use it if
- You want a polished media or notification card with working playback and seek interactions.
- Your app already uses shadcn primitives, Tailwind utilities, and Next Image.
- You need reusable glass-styled card and button exports, not just a fixed demo.
- You want light and dark styling with reduced-motion handling already considered.
Skip it if
- You need a framework-neutral component with no Next or shadcn assumptions.
- You are keeping icon, variant, and UI primitive dependencies to a minimum.
- Your design avoids translucent surfaces, backdrop filters, or decorative SVG effects.
- You need production media controls wired to real audio rather than demo state.
Install
| Declared dependencies | lucide-react, 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 compatible Card and Button primitives, a cn class-merging helper, Tailwind with the referenced utilities and animation, class-variance-authority, Lucide React, and Next Image support or replace that image component with your framework's equivalent.
