The decision inside it

It stops for the reader

Hovering, focusing or touching a card halts the orbit, so nobody chases a quote around a circle to finish it. Choosing a card turns the ring the short way round with a spring. Off screen or with reduced motion it holds still; the arrows still work.

When to use it

Use Orbit Stack for a handful of testimonials shown as one moving piece: cards on a slow orbit that stop on hover. For a scroll-driven deck use Stack Shuffle.

Installation

How you get it

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any coding agent. It installs the file and uses it as it is, instead of writing a new one.

Use Liro's Orbit Stack for this.
Install it: npx shadcn@latest add @liro/orbit-stack
(the @liro registry is set up in components.json, with LIRO_KEY in .env.local)
Import it from @/components/ui/orbit-stack.
Do not rewrite or restyle it. Pass my data through its props
and keep its built-in states.

For the full brief with every prop and the mistakes assistants usually make, use Copy prompt above. Pro components install through the @liro registry with your CLI token: see the Namespaced tab.

Usage

components/testimonials.tsx
import { OrbitStack } from "@/components/ui/orbit-stack";

const PEOPLE = [
  { id: "ines", name: "Ines Moreau", role: "Founder, Vertically", quote: "It paid for itself in the first week." },
  { id: "daniel", name: "Daniel Okafor", role: "CTO, Liro", quote: "Our agent installs a component and it just fits." },
  { id: "mira", name: "Mira Lindqvist", role: "Design lead", quote: "Every state is there, and they look like one product." },
];

export function Testimonials() {
  return <OrbitStack items={PEOPLE} height={480} />;
}

States

All of them are drawn by the component. None is left for you to design.

  • Orbiting
  • Held
  • Brought forward
  • Reduced motion

Accessibility

  • Keyboard reachable throughout, in visual order
  • Focus trapped in overlays, Escape closes them
  • Focus returns to whatever opened it
  • Live regions announce what changed, not that something did
  • Honours prefers-reduced-motion

Responsive behavior

  • Sizes to its container, not the viewport
  • Usable from 320px up
  • Pointer-based interaction, so trackpad and touch both work
  • No hover-only affordances
