Measured entry

tripled-animated-navbar-shadcnui

navbarminimal-flatmotion on file

A client-side React navbar distributed as a shadcn registry component. It renders hardcoded button labels with an animated active pill and press feedback, using Framer Motion, Tailwind utility classes, and theme CSS variables. The registry also declares a shadcn button dependency plus Lucide, though this source does not import either.

Verdict

A tidy animated selector that builds, mounts, and stays contained across the tested layouts, but it is starter code rather than a finished site navbar. The hardcoded buttons need routing work, and the active label has a serious contrast failure that should be corrected before use.

Use it if

  • You need a compact tab-like control for switching local page sections.
  • Your app already uses Framer Motion and Tailwind theme tokens.
  • You are prepared to replace the fixed labels and connect selection to your own state or routing.

Skip it if

  • You need real navigation links, route awareness, or browser history behavior out of the box.
  • You cannot fix the active label contrast issue before release.
  • You want to avoid adding Framer Motion for a small navigation treatment.
  • Your menu must collapse or scroll when it contains more or longer labels.

In a non-shadcn project, add React and Framer Motion, configure Tailwind for the utility classes, and define the card, foreground, and accent theme tokens used by the component. The declared button, Lucide, and Radix dependencies are not referenced by this source and can be omitted unless your surrounding setup needs them.
