Bowed Card Carousel

SectionsMediaAnimation

A pinned, scroll-driven carousel: tall cards slide through the middle and their long edges bow inwards with distance like a lens, while a giant word behind the row names the centred card.

Paste it into Claude Code: it installs the component, asks for your brand and content, and places it on the page you name.

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/bowed-card-carousel.tsx.

npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/bowed-card-carousel.json

Prompt

Install the pastetaste component "Bowed Card Carousel" (bowed-card-carousel) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: A pinned, scroll-driven carousel: tall cards slide through the middle and their long edges bow inwards with distance like a lens, while a giant word behind the row names the centred card.

Before you place it, ask me (one short message, in my language; "skip" = sensible default): which page and section it goes in, my brand colour (hex), the text, labels or images it should show, and whether I want my logo or my own copy in the demo content. Then:

Steps:
1. If the project has no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -y -d. Then run: npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/bowed-card-carousel.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/bowed-card-carousel.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { BowedCardCarousel } from "@/components/pastetaste/bowed-card-carousel" (check the file for the exact named export).
3. Put it where it fits on the page I name, keep the rest of the page untouched, and pass props for my colours instead of editing the installed file.
4. It does not depend on Tailwind; colours come from CSS variables (--pt-*) or props.
5. It supports prefers-reduced-motion with a still state; do not remove it.

Props (all optional unless the type has no default):
- cards: BowedCard[] = six sample cards — title, sub, image, position.
- header: ReactNode — Content above the row (overline and heading).
- cardWidth: number = 0.26 — Card width as a fraction of the viewport width (max 440 px).
- bow: number = 0.27 — How much the sides bow at the row's edges, as a fraction of card width.
- perCard: number = 0.8 — Scroll length per card step in viewport heights.
- background: string = '#efede8' — Section background.
- className / style: string / CSSProperties — On the root.

Then run the dev server, check it in the browser at desktop and mobile width, and tell me the page URL.
