Built for everyone who ships UI

Whichever seat you are in, the work starts further along.

Frontend developers

Ship polish without the busywork

  • Stop rewriting the same hover and focus states
  • Drop a whole section in instead of assembling one
  • No runtime means no bundle-size regression

Designers

Close the gap between the mock and the build

  • Show stakeholders something live, not a screenshot
  • Tune spacing, colour and motion against real markup
  • Hand over a link instead of a spec document

Founders

Make an MVP feel like a funded product

  • A credible landing page in an afternoon
  • No design hire required to launch
  • Commercial use covered — ship it and charge for it

Learners

Read patterns that are actually in production

  • Every source is commented and idiomatic
  • Learn layout and motion by working example
  • Fork a piece and break it — nothing to set up

Rendered live in your current theme — this is the same component whose source is below, not a screenshot of it.

Before you paste

  • Styling is Tailwind utility classes on semantic tokens (bg-card, text-muted-foreground) — it inherits your theme instead of overriding it.
  • Install: npm i lucide-react
  • Every prop has a default, so it renders standalone before you wire it up.

Where it goes

Drop it at components/persona-cards.tsx and import it where you need the section:

import { PersonaCards } from '@/components/persona-cards'

Customize

2 of this block’s props are simple enough to drive from here. Change them and the block below re-renders — it is the same component whose source is above, not a mock of it. Everything else it accepts is in the table underneath.

Props

Read out of the component’s own type and signature, so this cannot drift from the source below. Every prop has a default — the component renders standalone before you pass it anything.

Not using React?

The same block rendered once to markup, wrapped as a file your framework compiles. Tailwind classes are framework-agnostic, so the design transfers intact — the behaviour does not.

persona-cards.html
<!--
  Audience Persona Cards — markup from the Hoverlab catalog.

  This is the block rendered once to HTML and wrapped as a component
  file. It is not a port of the React source: the Tailwind classes carry
  the design, which is the part that took the work, and they are the same
  in every framework.

  This block has no interactive behaviour, so nothing is missing.

  • This is rendered HTML, not a translation of the React source. The Tailwind classes carry the design and work in any framework.
  • It is one frame: the component in its initial state, with no props applied beyond the defaults.
  • Requires Tailwind, and the design tokens the classes reference (bg-card, text-muted-foreground, and so on). The template ZIPs ship a globals.css that defines them.

What each framework gets across the whole catalog — effects convert properly; this rung is markup.

For AI

The component, its props, the design tokens it expects and the command that installs it — as one prompt. Paste it into Claude, Cursor, v0 or ChatGPT and what they build around it will match the rest of the catalog instead of inventing its own system.

Alternating Feature Rows

A full row per feature with the media side flipping each time, so the eye re-enters the page instead of skimming a stack of identical blocks.

Uniform cells, no spans, no state — the grid for nine things that matter equally, where a bento would be a wall and tabs would be a filing cabinet.
