Ticker Card

Component

About

A quote card for assistant replies: price, change against the start of the range with its tone, a chart with a crosshair readout, range tabs and market state. Shown with a fictional stock and coin.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Ticker Card to your project and fits it to your theme.

Code

How Ticker Card is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.

 * 21st shows a demo in a small frame: about 674 by 421 on a component page, 358 by 224 on a
 * phone and 245 by 139 on a profile card. A demo taller than its frame gets scrollbars, which
 * render white on dark pages. FitFrame fills the frame exactly instead.
 *
 * - "scale": the content shrinks until it fits, centered. For visuals such as orbs.
 * - "crop": the content stays at full size from the top and fades out at the bottom. For text
 *   that streams in, where a changing scale would make the page breathe.
 *
 * `minWidth` lays out a wide demo (a table, a two column panel) at that width and scales it down
 * to the frame, instead of letting it collapse to a narrow layout. The frame centers it, so it
 * shrinks evenly on both sides.
 *
 * Anything marked `data-fit-hide` (state buttons, the chatcn.dev line) drops out in frames
 * shorter than `hideBelow`, so a profile card shows the visual alone.
