About cards components
Cards group a single idea: a product, a plan, a stat or a destination. Hover motion works best when it hints that the card is interactive and reveals one extra piece of information, not when it moves the whole layout.
Install the Spotlight Card
- Create
components/ui/spotlight-card.tsxin your React + Tailwind project. - Paste the code. It only imports React; keyframes are defined inside the file.
- Import the named component where you need it. The default export is a ready-made demo you can delete.
