Category Hover Index

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/category-hover-index.tsx.

Install the pastetaste component "Category Hover Index" (category-hover-index) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: A category list set as one big light sentence with superscript counts: hover a word and its description changes while a photo on the right cross-fades. Controlled or uncontrolled.

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/category-hover-index.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/category-hover-index.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { CategoryHoverIndex } from "@/components/pastetaste/category-hover-index" (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):
- items: { label; count?; image; text? }[] = 5 categories — Each category with its photo and one-line description.
- active / onActive: number / (i: number) => void = uncontrolled — Controlled index, e.g. driven by a scroll sequence.
- note: string = 'of this year’s {total} projects.' — Text after the description; {total} is the sum of counts.
- ink: string = #111214 — Colour of the active word.

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