Measured entry

neobrutalism-image-card

cardbrutalism

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.

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 dependenciesnone declared
Missing on installnone
Bare installfails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup
Providerno 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.
