Measured entry
ruixen-gravatar-email-input
inputliquid-glassmotion on file
A client-side React email field with an animated liquid-glass shell and a live Gravatar preview. It ships as a shadcn registry component but is self-contained in presentation, injecting its own theme CSS. It depends on Motion for entry animation, md5 for address hashing, Gravatar for remote avatar images, and optional Web Audio feedback.

Verdict
A polished specialty input that builds and mounts without framework scaffolding, but it is not a neutral drop-in. The Gravatar request creates a privacy consideration, the default focus sound may surprise users, and the measured contrast issue needs a theme adjustment before production use.
Use it if
- You want an email field that gives an immediate Gravatar identity cue.
- Your interface already permits client-side animation and remote avatar requests.
- You can review the supplied colors and tune them to your accessibility requirements.
Skip it if
- Email privacy rules or content policies prohibit sending a derived email identifier to Gravatar.
- You need a fully controlled field whose value can be updated by its parent after mounting.
- You cannot accept the current color contrast issue without modifying the theme tokens.
- You want a quiet form control without focus sounds or extra animation dependencies.
Install
| Declared dependencies | motion, md5 |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | md5 |
| Bare install | builds and mounts without the shadcn-style helpers |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn React project, add Motion and md5, place the component behind a client boundary, and ensure your bundler supports the md5 import. No provider is required. Review Content Security Policy access to Gravatar, decide whether to disable the focus sound, and adjust the light and dark color tokens for sufficient contrast.
