Adds StretchyButton, a rubbery pill you grab and pull. Its outline and every letter of its label stretch toward the cursor, and it wobbles back when you let go.

Credit

The original idea and design are by Adi (@AdityaSur11), from the Stretchy button post. This is an independent re-implementation. The credit appears in:

  • the docs page header ("Original idea by Adi (@AdityaSur11)"), through a new credit frontmatter field any page can use
  • a Credits section in the docs body, which is also in the raw markdown and copied prompts
  • the header comment of the component source, so it ships with shadcn add
  • llms.txt and a new Credits section in the README

Behaviour

  • Drag from the middle and it bends like a banana. Drag from an end and that end stretches. Letters arc, lean and widen with the body.
  • stretch (rubber give), snap (slips free past this drag distance), wobble (release jiggle), color.
  • A drag does not fire onClick. A plain press dents the rubber and jiggles. Keyboard activation works.
  • Reduced motion and disabled make it a plain pill.

Checks

  • typecheck, eslint, registry:test (30 items) pass.
  • Headless Chromium: pull down, pull sideways, snap and settle all render correctly, with no console errors. Click count is 2 for a press, a drag and an Enter, as expected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added StretchyButton, which stretches with pointer movement and springs back with a wobble. Customize its color, stretch, snap distance, and wobble; dragging is inactive when the button is disabled or reduced motion is enabled.
    • Added a live preview and made the component available in the registry.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved dropdown positioning for controls displayed inline.
  • Documentation
    • Added usage instructions and attribution for the original StretchyButton idea and design, with a link to the source.

Based on the "Stretchy button" by Adi (@AdityaSur11):
https://x.com/AdityaSur11/status/2117524680412393581

Press anywhere and drag: the grabbed spot follows the cursor through a
soft gaussian field, so pulling from the middle bends it like a banana
and pulling from an end stretches that end. The outline is redrawn as a
smooth SVG path, and each letter of a text label rides the same field,
so it arcs, leans and widens with the body. It stiffens toward `stretch`,
slips free past `snap`, and wobbles home on release with the drag's
momentum. A drag does not fire onClick; a plain press dents and jiggles.

Docs pages can now carry a `credit` frontmatter field, shown as
"Original idea by ..." under the description. The README gains a
Credits section.

Walkthrough

The change adds a configurable, pointer-interactive StretchyButton with spring return behavior. It adds previews, registry entries, and documentation with optional attribution metadata. It also patches Dialkit positioning for triggers inside inline-mode elements.

Changes: StretchyButton

Layer / File(s) Summary
Button behavior and registry implementation
components/evil-buttons/stretchy-button.tsx, public/r/stretchy-button.json
Adds configurable button props and pointer-driven deformation of the pill outline and label. Pointer release or movement beyond snap triggers spring return. Disabled buttons and reduced-motion settings disable drag effects. The registry item embeds the component and lists its dependencies.
Preview and component registration
components/landing/previews/*, components/landing/showcase.ts, components/mdx-custom-components.tsx, registry.components.json, public/r/index.json
Adds dial and static previews, registers the button in the showcase and MDX component map, and adds component entries to the registries.
Documentation and attribution
source.config.ts, app/docs/[[...slug]]/page.tsx, content/docs/stretchy-button.mdx, README.md, public/llms.txt
Adds optional credit metadata to the docs schema and renders an attribution when credit exists. Adds component usage and behavior documentation, and includes attribution in the README and component listing.

Dialkit inline positioning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Inline-mode positioning condition
patches/dialkit@2.0.2.patch, pnpm-workspace.yaml
Updates Dialkit bundles to use side positioning only when preferSide is enabled and the trigger has no inline-mode ancestor. Configures the workspace to apply the patch.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 324bb

The new button has a narrow API risk for consumers supplying pointer callbacks, but its default behavior is unaffected. The reported CI failure is an existing Node/pnpm mismatch.

Explanation

The title names the new StretchyButton component, which is the main change. It also credits the original idea to @AdityaSur11, which the README, docs, and llms.txt cover. The changeset matches the title, so the check passes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 75.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 8 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Fix handler override: {...props} replaces the internal pointer handlers.

The component destructures only onClick and onPointerDown. The remaining props are spread at Line 363, after the internal handlers.

If a consumer passes onPointerMove, onPointerUp, onPointerCancel, or onLostPointerCapture, that prop replaces the internal handler.

  • If onPointerUp or onLostPointerCapture replaces release, drag.current is never cleared and springBack() never runs. The button then stays stretched with cursor-grabbing until the next press.
  • If onPointerMove replaces handlePointerMove, dragging stops working.

The onPointerDown and onClick props are chained correctly. Treat the other four handlers the same way.

The same code is embedded in public/r/stretchy-button.json. Run registry:build after the fix to regenerate it.

Comment thread content/docs/stretchy-button.mdx Resolved
Multi-line children in MDX get wrapped in a <p>, which pulled in the
docs paragraph color and margin (gray, off-center label) and stopped the
letters from bending. Also fix the Taffy blurb: its snap point is far,
not low.
dialkit 2.0.2 always places its color and image pickers beside
.dialkit-panel-inner, which assumes the floating side panel. The docs
mount DialRoot in inline mode, so the picker landed over the sidebar,
outside the docs card. For inline panels it now drops above or below
the control instead.
