Glowing Neon Border Tailwind Quote Box

A neon sign: a 4-layer cyan box-shadow falloff (tight core → wide bloom → inner cast), matching text-shadow on the quote, a pink pill for the author, and an occasional flicker. The port sets the quote in Tilt Neon — a typeface drawn as bent tubing — and lets hover "turn the power up" with a brighter shadow stack.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Both shadow stacks ported verbatim as arbitrary shadow-[…] and [text-shadow:…] values — oklch with / alpha works inside brackets unchanged.
  • @keyframes bq10-flicker is now emitted from @theme via --animate-tbq10-flicker.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the quote and author pill are set in Tilt Neon, a single-stroke face that looks like bent glass tubing, replacing the generic bold sans.
  • UI upgrade: hover now brightens the whole sign (group-hover:shadow-[…], 500ms), the kicker has a lit indicator dot, and the chip text went from 0.65 to 0.72 for legibility on the near-black stage.

How this works

Real neon has a gradient of light. One shadow looks like a coloured blur; four look like a glowing tube:

shadow-[0_0_6px_oklch(0.8_0.16_195/0.9),       /* core   */
        0_0_18px_oklch(0.75_0.17_195/0.5),     /* glow   */
        0_0_46px_oklch(0.7_0.18_195/0.3),      /* bloom  */
        inset_0_0_14px_oklch(0.8_0.16_195/0.22)] /* cast on the wall */

Flicker is opacity only. Two single-frame dips (42%, 79%) break the rhythm enough to feel electrical without being distracting — and motion-reduce:animate-none removes it entirely.

Make it yours

  • Colour: swap every 195 hue for 350 (pink) or 135 (acid green).
  • No flicker: delete animate-tbq10-flicker.
  • Tube text only: remove the box shadows and keep the text-shadow for a sign-without-frame look.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Large blurred shadows repaint on every animation frame; the flicker animates opacity, which is compositor-only, so the shadow is never re-rasterised.
  • Flicker faster than 3 flashes per second can trigger photosensitive seizures (WCAG 2.3.1) — keep dips rare and brief.
  • The glow extends ~50px beyond the box; leave room or it clips inside overflow-hidden parents.
