Grid Boot Loader

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/grid-boot-loader.tsx.

Install the pastetaste component "Grid Boot Loader" (grid-boot-loader) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: A technical preloader on black: a thin grid draws itself, a 5 x 5 mosaic switches on in stepped shapes over a duotone portrait, a status log types and a counter runs to 100 before the screen wipes up.

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/grid-boot-loader.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/grid-boot-loader.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { GridBootLoader } from "@/components/pastetaste/grid-boot-loader" (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):
- portraits: BootPortrait[] = 6 sample speakers — { src, name, position? }; one per mosaic step.
- lines: string[] = 4 status lines — Typed log lines; the last stays.
- duration: number = 1900 — Milliseconds before the wipe.
- accent: string = '#1f3bff' — Cell colour behind the portrait.
- contained: boolean = false — Fill the positioned parent instead of the viewport.
- loop: boolean = false — Replay after the wipe (needs contained).
- onDone: ()=>void — Called after the wipe, or at once under reduced motion.
- 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.
