Measured entry

uilayouts-hovercard2

hover-effectgradient-glowmotion on file

A fixed-size profile card whose image expands and shifts from grayscale to color on hover while its caption gives way to a button. It ships as a shadcn registry TSX component styled with Tailwind classes, uses Next.js Image and lucide-react imports, and declares motion even though the source does not use it.

Verdict

A usable visual starter, but not a drop-in product component. It builds and mounts without shadcn scaffolding, yet the demo content is ignored, the bundled portrait path is missing, narrow layouts overflow, and the reveal is hover-dependent. Choose it only if you plan to parameterize and harden it.

Use it if

  • You need a dark-friendly profile or team card with a simple image-led hover reveal.
  • Your project already uses Tailwind and can supply the expected local portrait asset.
  • The card will sit in a layout with enough width for its fixed sizing.

Skip it if

  • You need the supplied title or children to appear, because this component accepts no content props.
  • Your design must fit narrow phone screens without modifying the fixed card width.
  • The revealed action must work equally well for keyboard and touch users rather than relying on hover.
  • You want a reusable card with configurable image, name, role, and action behavior.

In a non-shadcn project, add Tailwind styling, lucide-react, and either Next.js Image or a standard image replacement. Provide the referenced portrait asset or make the image a prop. The registry declares motion, but this source does not use it, so it can be removed unless other code needs it. Add focus and touch behavior for the revealed action.
