Merging Circles Steps

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/merging-circles-steps.tsx.

Install the pastetaste component "Merging Circles Steps" (merging-circles-steps) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: Three outlined step circles that slide together and merge into one while the section is pinned on scroll, ending on a single closing line with a progress pager; stacks on phones.

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/merging-circles-steps.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/merging-circles-steps.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { MergingCirclesSteps } from "@/components/pastetaste/merging-circles-steps" (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):
- steps: { title; text }[] = brief, creative, go live — Best with three; the middle circle survives.
- heading / finalTitle / finalText: ReactNode / string / string = process copy — Heading and the closing lines.
- distance: number = 1500 — Extra scroll length of the pinned part, px.
- action: ReactNode — Button or link beside the pager.
- ink / muted / background / fontFamily: string = cool grey palette — Colours and font.
- className / style: string / CSSProperties — On the section.

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