Every one of these came out of a real product, then got pulled back out and made portable. They depend on React, lucide-react for icons, and a two-line cn helper. That is the whole list. No Framer Motion, no Radix, no context to wire up.

Colours resolve to CSS custom properties, so adopting one means copying the file and pointing about six variables at your own tokens. Each has a note on the principle it exists to demonstrate, because the value is in the reasoning more than the code.

    CopyButton

    A crossfade between two icons shows you two objects overlapping. Two pixels of blur during the swap makes the eye read one object transforming instead.

    Sheet

    1:1 tracking, momentum projected forward on release, the finger's velocity handed to the spring, rubber-banding at the top, interruptible at any frame.

     * A bottom sheet you can throw.
     *
     * This is the piece where a CSS transition genuinely cannot get you there, and
     * the reasons are worth naming:
     *
     * **1:1 tracking with the grab offset.** The sheet stays glued to the finger
     * from wherever you grabbed it. Snapping to a fixed point on press breaks the
     * illusion in the first frame.
     *
     * **Momentum projection.** On release it does not snap to whichever end is
     * closer. It asks where the sheet *would* come to rest given the release
     * velocity, using Apple's exponential-decay projection rather than the textbook v²/2a, and
     * commits to the outcome nearest that. A short fast flick dismisses; a long
     * slow drag that stops halfway springs back.
     *
     * **Velocity handoff.** The spring starts at the exact velocity the finger left
     * at, so there is no seam between dragging and animating.
     *
     * **Rubber-banding.** Dragging up past the top meets progressive resistance
     * instead of a wall. A hard stop reads as frozen.
     *
     * **Interruptible.** Grab a sheet that is already animating closed and it
     * follows your finger again from wherever it currently is, because the spring
     * animates from the on-screen value rather than a logical target.
     *
     * Note: the whole panel is the drag surface, which is right for short sheets
     * and wrong for scrollable ones. If you put a scroll region inside, move the
     * pointer handlers onto the grab handle and only allow the drag to start when
     * the region is already at scrollTop 0.

     * 2. It carries velocity through a re-target. Swapping one tween for another at
     *    a gesture reversal creates a velocity discontinuity that reads as hitting a
     *    brick wall; blending velocity is what makes a reversal feel physical.
     *
     * Returns a live ref rather than React state so the animation never costs a
     * render. Read `value.current` inside your own rAF loop, or pass `onChange`.

    Nothing in the physical world tracks you with zero lag. A spring on the pointer position is the whole difference between a gradient and a material.

    move your pointer across this

    The glow lags very slightly behind the pointer, on a spring, with X and Y on independent springs so diagonals do not cut the corner.

    The pulse lives on a pseudo-ring rather than the dot, so reduced motion can drop the ring without the dot going with it. Status is never carried by colour alone.
