Fancy Components
Fancy Components is a playful React/Tailwind/Motion source for animated components, microinteractions, backgrounds, marquees, and expressive UI pieces.
Routing Summary
Load this through Component Library Sources when a screen needs a small expressive component, playful interaction, animated background, marquee, or visual flourish that should remain copy-paste editable. It sits near React Bits and Magic UI, but with a more playful/weird microinteraction bias.

Use When
- A page needs one memorable microinteraction rather than a full component system.
- The design direction can tolerate playful, weird, or experimental UI.
- You need backgrounds, marquees, floating elements, sticky/stacking cards, or physics-like flourishes.
- The component can be retokenized and reduced to the local design system.
Integration Rules
- Keep one expressive effect per viewport unless the page is intentionally maximalist.
- Verify dependencies and motion cost before adding.
- Retokenize color, typography, radius, and timing.
- Respect reduced-motion and avoid effects behind dense text.
