Measured entry
ruixen-customer-story-stack
testimonialsunclassifiedmotion on file
A client-side React testimonial carousel that cycles customer quotes, author details, optional paired metrics, and an optional follow-up link. It ships as shadcn registry source and relies on Next.js Link, Lucide icons, Tailwind theme and animation classes, plus the usual cn utility backed by clsx and tailwind-merge.

Verdict
A solid choice for a focused testimonial rotation with sensible controls and responsive behavior. It needs a shadcn-style setup before it will build or mount bare, and the demo's missing asset requests are a reminder that adopters must supply their own media.
Use it if
- You want a compact, manually controlled customer-story section with buttons and touch swiping.
- Your stories include logos, attributed quotes, and a consistent pair of supporting metrics.
- Your app already uses Next.js and shadcn-style Tailwind tokens and utilities.
Skip it if
- You need autoplay, timed rotation, or externally controlled carousel state.
- You need arbitrary metric layouts rather than the component's paired metric presentation.
- You are in a non-Next React app and do not want to replace the built-in Link dependency.
- You want a drop-in component without providing logo and avatar assets.
Install
| Declared dependencies | lucide-react, clsx, tailwind-merge |
|---|---|
| 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 with compatible card, foreground, muted, and border theme tokens; provide a cn helper using clsx and tailwind-merge; enable the animation utilities used by animate-in and fade-in; install Lucide React; configure the at-sign source alias; and replace Next.js Link when the host is not Next.js. Supply local or remote logo and avatar assets separately.
