Stat Cards with Deltas

Metrics carrying the direction they moved, with the good direction declared per stat so a falling churn rate reads as a win — arrow and text, never colour alone.

Source

components/stats-cards.tsx
/**
 * <StatsCards> — metrics with the direction they moved.
 *
 * <StatsBand> states magnitude: four numbers, hairline-separated, the shape
 * a landing page uses to say how big something is. This one answers a
 * different question — whether it is getting better — which is the one an
 * investor update, a status page or a dashboard header is actually asked.
 *
 * A number with no baseline is not evidence. "1.2M requests" could be a
 * record or a collapse, and the reader has no way to tell, so the delta is
 * a required part of a `Stat` here rather than an optional flourish.
 *
 * Direction is never carried by colour alone. Each delta pairs its tint
 * with an arrow that points, and with a `sr-only` word, so the meaning
 * survives a monochrome print, a red-green colour deficiency and a screen
 * reader — three readers for whom a green number is just a number.
 *
 * `intent` is separate from the sign for the case that catches people out:
 * churn falling is good and error rate rising is bad. Tying the tint to the
 * arithmetic would paint those backwards, so the author says which
 * direction is the good one and the block colours from that.

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/stats-cards.tsx and import it where you need the section:

import { StatsCards } from '@/components/stats-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.

stats-cards.html
<!--
  Stat Cards with Deltas — 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.

Stats Beside the Argument

Four figures in a hairline card next to the paragraph making the claim, each carrying an optional source line — for numbers that mean nothing without knowing lower than what, over how long, across how many.
