Hey IH community!
npm install cartlify
Quick update for anyone following the Cartlify journey:
After launching on Gumroad, I've now published the library on npm so developers can install it directly into their projects.
---
What changed:
The npm package ships the compiled dist/ output โ ESM + CJS + TypeScript types via tsup. The full source code, Storybook config, hooks, design tokens, and tests are still available on Gumroad for $29.
This gives developers two ways to use Cartlify:
โ Install via npm (free, compiled)
npm install cartlify
โ Get full source on Gumroad ($29)
Full TypeScript source + Storybook + hooks + tokens
---
What's included:
๐๏ธ ProductCard โ 3 variants, gallery, wishlist, badges, skeleton
๐ CartDrawer โ animated, accessible, focus trap, quantity stepper
โ CheckoutStepper โ horizontal/vertical, keyboard navigation
โณ PageLoader โ 4 animation styles, 3 position modes
React 18 ยท TypeScript strict ยท Tailwind CSS ยท 141 tests ยท WCAG 2.1

Still working on getting the first sale. Would love feedback from the IH community โ especially on the free npm + paid source model. Is this the right approach?
