Libraries

React libraries by Jakub Antalik, and the sites that demo them.

Package	npm	Demo
border-beam — animated border beam	npm install border-beam	beam.jakubantalik.com
liquid-gooey — liquid Morph & Move effects	npm install liquid-gooey	gooey.jakubantalik.com
thinking-orbs — dotted thought-orb loaders	npm install thinking-orbs	orbs.jakubantalik.com

Layout

packages/       published libraries — one folder per npm package
sites/          the demo site for each library

Each package owns its own README and LICENSE, because npm renders the readme from the package directory rather than the repo root.

Working on it

npm workspaces, so one install at the root covers everything:

npm install

npm run dev -w @sites/beam      # beam demo
npm run dev -w @sites/gooey     # gooey demo
npm run dev -w @sites/orbs      # orbs demo

Both sites alias the library to its source, so editing a library hot-reloads its site with no rebuild.

npm run build:beam              # build one library
npm run build:gooey
npm run build:orbs
npm run build:site-beam         # library + its site, as CI does
npm run build:site-gooey
npm run build:site-orbs
npm run typecheck               # every workspace

Releasing

Publishing is per package, triggered by a GitHub release (publish.yml), which runs npm publish -w <package>.

Deploys

The two sites are hosted separately, because GitHub Pages serves one custom domain per repo:

• beam.jakubantalik.com — GitHub Pages via .github/workflows/deploy.yml; the domain binding lives in sites/beam/public/CNAME.
• gooey.jakubantalik.com — Cloudflare Pages, built from this repo with npm run build:site-gooey, output sites/gooey/dist.
• orbs.jakubantalik.com — Cloudflare Pages, built with npm run build:site-orbs, output sites/orbs/dist.
• libraries.dev — Cloudflare Pages, static (no build command), output sites/home. The umbrella site: landing, Pro pricing, account and legal pages. Its backend is api.libraries.dev, a Worker in the private libraries-pro repo — see sites/home/README.md.

.node-version pins Node 20 for the Cloudflare builds, matching the version the GitHub workflows use; Cloudflare's default is older.

Cloudflare's Retry deployment replays the same commit rather than fetching the branch tip, so a build that failed on an outdated commit keeps failing. Push a new commit to get a fresh one.

Only the beam site carries a public/CNAME; that file is a GitHub Pages mechanism. The Cloudflare-hosted sites bind their domain in the Pages project instead, and the DNS record itself lives at the registrar (inetadmin), not Cloudflare — jakubantalik.com is not on Cloudflare's nameservers.

thinking-orbs arrived by git subtree, so its full history is in this repo — but those commits touched src/…, not packages/thinking-orbs/src/…. git log -- packages/thinking-orbs therefore stops at the merge. To read the real history, log from the commit the merge names:

git log --oneline 9c6d5c3 -- ports/ios/PillsDemo/Sources/PillsApp.swift
git log --follow packages/thinking-orbs/src/index.ts

thinking-orbs also carries native ports under packages/thinking-orbs/ports — a React Native package and a SwiftUI package, kept in step with the web renderer by the golden vectors in spec/. Neither is published yet.
