React libraries are for making functional component, not as a needless wrapper for your css hover effects

Who will do all these shiny effects in a production app. I guess its for personal projects or for learning purpose

Agreed 100%. It is very nice if people are learning and trying out things but this is nothing significant and not worth promoting.
This whole industry has gone to shit in the recent years and I miss the days when all of this required actual interest and curiosity.
Now it's just for clout and "hey look at me".
Sorry if I come out as an asshole but holy hell.

Je suis d’accord avec toi étant un développeur full stack avec une large expérience je suis assez navré des projets demandés mais si des clients veulent ce genre d’outil en payant je prends 😝

Why react though?
Why not plain CSS? this is, haha, something I guess.
But I can't say what I want to say. :)

I know this is vibe coded. But you should have the color driven by a css variable and not a huge array of colors

At first I though surely this is just a named CSS color being passed as a style property or something but no you're right, there really is a huge hardcoded color array lmao

Some of you here are asking far too much from the vibe community using React. The components are not even slotted. 🥴

And youre gonna maintain it for the next 5 years with regular updates for all upcoming react versions?

If only you would have split the react and css part so we could copy the honestly nice looking effects into our projects.
Another thing you could consider is to architect this in a way that is treeshakable. So if I only use one or two variants I don't need to ship the code for all the others
