Expanding Button Group

Buttons 11

About

A compact row of icon action buttons where the one you point at or focus grows to reveal its label while neighbours slide aside, and an action can confirm in place with a check and a past-tense word.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Expanding Button Group to your project and fits it to your theme.

Code

How Expanding Button Group is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.
