Drift Caption Field

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/drift-caption-field.tsx.

Install the pastetaste component "Drift Caption Field" (drift-caption-field) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: A pinned stage of photo and colour tiles at different depths that drift past each other as you scroll, around one giant caption that changes with progress and keeps tiles out of its way.

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/drift-caption-field.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/drift-caption-field.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { DriftCaptionField } from "@/components/pastetaste/drift-caption-field" (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):
- captions: { id, title, meta? }[] = 6 projects — Captions shown in the centre one after another as you scroll.
- tiles: FieldTile[] = 20 scattered tiles — Photos (src) or colour blocks (color, text) with x, y (percent), w (vw), depth, rotate?, front?, caption? (index of the caption the tile opens).
- topLeft / topRight / hint: string — Small labels on the stage; {n} and {total} are replaced by the caption number and count.
- runway: number = 4.2 — Scroll runway in viewport heights on wide screens.
- onOpen: (caption, index) => void — Called when the caption or a project tile is clicked.
- 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.
