Measured entry

uilayouts-creative-hover-card

hover-effect3dmotion on file

A hard-coded grid of dark promotional cards that swaps headings and local artwork on pointer hover. It ships as a shadcn registry component built with React, Next.js Image, and Tailwind utilities. The registry declares Motion, although the source does not import it, and the visuals depend on bundled WebP and noise assets.

Verdict

A usable visual starting point for a Next.js marketing grid, but not a polished reusable component. It mounts independently, yet missing asset requests, narrow-screen overflow, hover-only behavior, and a contrast issue make source cleanup and accessibility work necessary before production use.

Use it if

  • You need a ready-made hover treatment for a dark marketing or feature section.
  • Your Next.js project already uses Tailwind and can supply the expected local artwork.
  • You are comfortable refactoring fixed copy and images into props or mapped data.

Skip it if

  • The experience must fit narrow screens without horizontal overflow.
  • Keyboard and touch users must receive an equivalent reveal interaction without custom work.
  • You need accessible contrast without revisiting the muted body text.
  • You want a configurable card that respects passed titles and children out of the box.
