Measured entry

tripled-magnetic-avatar-group-shadcnui

avatarminimal-flatmotion on file

A client-side React avatar cluster that overlaps initial badges, shifts the hovered badge, and reveals a name tooltip. It ships as a shadcn registry component and uses Framer Motion, React state, Tailwind utilities, and shadcn theme tokens. The registry also declares a Button dependency, although this source does not import it.

Verdict

A cautious pick for an already motion-enabled shadcn app: it builds, mounts, and stays contained across the tested layouts. The contrast failure and pointer-only tooltip make it unsuitable as shipped when names carry meaning. Add focus and touch behavior, accessible labels, and verified colors before production use.

Use it if

  • You need a compact initials-based summary for contributors, assignees, or participants.
  • Your app already uses Framer Motion and shadcn-compatible Tailwind theme tokens.
  • The hover animation is a secondary enhancement rather than the only way to identify people.

Skip it if

  • Names must be discoverable by keyboard or touch without additional accessibility work.
  • You need the supplied colors to pass contrast checks without retuning theme tokens.
  • You want photo avatars, status indicators, profile links, or selection behavior out of the box.
  • Adding Framer Motion is too much dependency cost for a small avatar treatment.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add React and Framer Motion, provide Tailwind or equivalent styles for the utility classes, and define matching primary, foreground, card, border, and muted color tokens. Mark the file as client-side in frameworks that require a client boundary. The declared Button registry item appears unnecessary for this source.
