Motion primitives

These eight live in this app rather than the shared package, so they sit outside the catalog above. Each one respects reduced motion and renders its content visible in the server HTML.

TextReveal

A headline that rises into place a word at a time once it scrolls into view.

Verdigris and ember

Reduced motion: Renders the finished headline, nothing moves.
Import: @/components/motion/TextReveal

Ships on /, the landing page these were built for.

TextScramble

Text that decodes itself left to right through a glyph churn.

design language

Reduced motion: Shows the settled text from the first frame.
Import: @/components/motion/TextScramble

Ships on /, the landing page these were built for.

ScrollProgress

A thin sprung bar across the top showing how far down the page you are.

Scroll this box. The bar along its top edge is the component.

It reads the scroll position of whatever element it is given, so a panel can show its own progress rather than the page’s.

The page’s own instance is still up at the very top of this window, tracking the article you are reading now.

That is the end of the example.

Reduced motion: Tracks scroll exactly, with no spring smoothing.
Import: @/components/motion/ScrollProgress

Ships on /, the landing page these were built for.

MagneticButton

Leans whatever it wraps toward the pointer, then springs it back.

Reduced motion: Sits still. Also disabled for touch pointers.
Import: @/components/motion/MagneticButton

Ships on /, the landing page these were built for.

AnimatedNumber

A figure that counts up to its value when it scrolls into view.

2,454

Reduced motion: Shows the final figure immediately.
Import: @/components/motion/AnimatedNumber

Ships on /, the landing page these were built for.

BlobBackground

Layered organic SVG shapes from a seeded generator, drifting on scroll.

Reduced motion: Static layers, no parallax.
Import: @/components/motion/BlobBackground

Ships on /, the landing page these were built for.

SpotlightCard

A glass card with a glow that follows the cursor, over the design system's Spotlight.

Move the cursor across me.

Reduced motion: Glow pins to the centre and stops tracking.
Import: @/components/motion/SpotlightCard

Ships on /, the landing page these were built for.

GradientMesh

A slow-drifting mesh of soft colour blooms, in pure CSS.

Reduced motion: Paused by a media query, no JavaScript involved.
Import: @/components/motion/GradientMesh

Ships on /, the landing page these were built for.

Design tokens

The primitives are skinned entirely from these tokens, so a rebrand is a token change, not a component rewrite.

Accessibility built in

Accessibility is a property of the primitives, not a checklist bolted on later. Tab through this page — every control takes focus and shows it.

Semantic HTML first — real buttons, labels, and landmarks before any ARIA.
Every interactive control is keyboard operable with a visible focus ring.
Dialogs trap focus, restore it on close, and dismiss on Escape.
Colour never carries meaning alone; text and icons back it up.
Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion across the whole system.

WCAG AA

Why adopt it

One source of truth

Tokens live in CSS custom properties and flow into Tailwind, CSS Modules, and inline styles. Change a value once, every surface updates.

Accessible by default

Focus traps, labelled controls, live regions, and Escape-to-close ship inside the primitives, so teams get them for free instead of re-deriving them.

Framework agnostic

The same tokens and component styles back this Next.js app, a sibling Angular app, and Ketsup through thin, typed wrappers. Publish once to npm, adopt anywhere — no lock-in to one renderer.

Tested and versioned

Every primitive has an axe scan and behaviour tests, and the packages are published to npm so upgrades are deliberate, not accidental.

Components

Hover the ⓘ for how to use each one, hover the preview for a quick hint, and follow a chip to see it in production.

Sparkline

A compact trend line with no axes, sized to sit inline.

TiltCard

A surface that tilts toward the pointer.
