Chain Slider | Sean Lynch

Made of something. A scarred cobalt housing, blackened steel slider carriage and swept metal chain teeth.

The moment. Dragging moves the chain with the value. Repeated passes progressively mark the teeth, while the carriage stays under direct pointer control.

Yours to adapt. Copy the component source, styles and materials. Functional text stays live, effects respect reduced motion, and the artwork requires no remote hosting.

Try it

Drag the carriage, or focus it and use the arrow keys.

Install

Add it with the shadcn CLI, or copy the source manually.

Release candidate: public installation becomes available after deployment. Use an existing React 19 project with shadcn initialized and a components.json file. The CLI installs the source, CSS, embedded materials, MIT licence and font notices together.

Terminal

npx shadcn@latest add https://seanportfol.io/r/grimkit-magazine-slider.json

Prefer a namespace? Register the registry once.

Usage

Copy this example into a separate file, not over the installed component. The @/ alias points to your source root. In Next.js this is a Client Component; Vite also accepts the directive. Replace demonstration actions with your application logic.

components/examples/magazine-slider-demo.tsx

"use client";

import { useState } from "react";
import { MagazineSlider } from "@/components/grimkit/magazine-slider";

export default function Example() {
  const [volume, setVolume] = useState(60);
  return <MagazineSlider label="Comms volume" value={volume} onValueChange={setVolume} min={0} max={100} step={5} />;
}
