Measured entry
neobrutalism-ncard
A composable React card family shipped as a shadcn registry item, with header, title, description, action, content, and footer parts. It relies on Tailwind utility classes, project-defined neobrutalist theme tokens, and a cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge.

Verdict
A solid, low-complexity card primitive when the matching theme is already in place. It builds and mounts cleanly without a provider, but much of its identity comes from custom Tailwind tokens, and its generic elements leave document semantics to the consumer.
Use it if
- You want a bordered, offset-shadow card that matches a neobrutalist interface.
- You need separate card regions that can be rearranged or styled through className.
- Your project already has compatible Tailwind theme tokens or can define them.
Skip it if
- Your design system does not use heavy borders, hard shadows, or neobrutalist styling.
- You want a dependency-free card made with plain CSS rather than Tailwind utilities.
- You need semantic heading and section elements built into the component instead of generic div elements.
Install
| Declared dependencies | clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | builds and mounts without the shadcn-style helpers |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add the cn utility using clsx and tailwind-merge, configure Tailwind, and define the referenced color, radius, shadow, and font theme tokens. Copy the component into your UI layer and add semantic wrappers or headings where the content requires them.
