Measured entry
ruixen-scroll-image-tunnel
badgeunclassifiedmotion on file
A client-side React image sequence that pins a stage while scroll progress scales, lifts, and color-grades each photo into view. It ships as a shadcn registry TSX file, uses Motion for animation, Tailwind utility classes for layout and theming, and a local cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 1m 43s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/ruixen/scroll-image-tunnel.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A focused, production-credible scroll effect with responsive rendering, clean mounting, and a considerate reduced-motion path. It needs a shadcn-style setup: a bare React project fails because the imported local utility alias is absent. Use it for deliberate visual storytelling, not a general gallery.
Use it if
- You need an editorial or portfolio image reveal driven by page or panel scrolling.
- Your project already uses Tailwind and can absorb a shadcn registry component.
- You want a reduced-motion fallback that presents the images as a static grid.
- You can provide meaningful alt text and images suited to aggressive cropping.
Skip it if
- The images must remain fully visible without object-cover cropping.
- Your page cannot dedicate a long scroll region to a decorative sequence.
- You need a dependency-light gallery without a runtime animation library.
- Your non-shadcn codebase cannot add Tailwind tokens, aliases, and a cn utility.
Install
| Declared dependencies | motion, 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 Motion, Tailwind, clsx, and tailwind-merge; configure the source alias; create the local cn helper; and define the background, muted, and muted-foreground theme utilities used by the component. Keep it client-rendered and ensure ResizeObserver is available for tracked panels.
