Measured entry
neobrutalism-image-card
A compact React figure that pairs an image with a caption in a fixed-width neobrutalist card. It ships as a shadcn registry component and has no declared package dependencies, but its source expects Tailwind utilities, project theme tokens, an import alias, and the usual cn class-merging helper.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 2.04s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/ui/image-card.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A tidy starting point for an existing neobrutalist design system, but too assumption-heavy to be portable as-is. It needs a shadcn-style setup, and teams should fix the image alternative text and decide how missing or differently shaped images behave before production use.
Use it if
- You need a small editorial or gallery card with a strong border-and-shadow treatment.
- Your project already uses shadcn conventions and defines the referenced neobrutalist theme tokens.
- You are comfortable supplying valid image and caption props at every call site.
Skip it if
- You need fluid card sizing without overriding its fixed width.
- You need meaningful image alt text because the component hardcodes a generic label.
- You want a drop-in component for plain React or an unconfigured Tailwind project.
- You need built-in loading, fallback, or image cropping behavior.
Install
| Declared dependencies | none declared |
|---|---|
| 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 Tailwind, configure the import alias, provide a cn class-merging helper, and define the custom border, color, radius, font, and shadow tokens used by the classes. Also adapt the image API so callers can provide useful alternative text.
