Ink Autosave, animated React component

A note that shows its save state as ink. What is saved is dry black ink; what you have typed since is wet blue at the end of the rule. Pause and it dries left to right. Go offline and it dries grey with a drop hanging off the nib, which falls in when you reconnect.

Props

Prop	Type	Default	What it does
autoplay	boolean	false	Writes a line by itself and goes offline and back, until the visitor touches the note. Never runs under reduced motion and pauses while the card is off screen.
save	(text: string) => Promise<void>	—	Called about a second after typing pauses. Resolve it when the text is stored; the ink dries when it does. Left out, the note pretends to save for under half a second.
initial	string	a sample note	Starting text of the note.

Add it to your project

1
Set up your project once
You need a Next.js project with Tailwind CSS and the @/ import alias. In its root folder, run this once. It creates components.json and the cn() helper in src/lib/utils.ts:
```
npx shadcn@latest init -d
```
Starting from nothing? The Quick Start walks through the whole thing.
2
Connect the registry with your API key
Ink Autosave is a Pro item, so the CLI has to send your API key. Do this once per project:
1. Create a key at nexus-ui.com/dashboard/api-key. Copy it straight away: it starts with nxs_ and is shown only once.
2. In your project root, next to package.json, create a file named .env.local with this line, using your own key:
```
NEXUS_API_KEY=nxs_your_key_here
```
3. Open components.json and add this entry inside the outermost braces, next to "aliases". Leave {name} and ${NEXUS_API_KEY} exactly as written; the CLI fills them in:
```
"registries": {
  "@nexus-labs": {
    "url": "https://www.nexus-ui.com/api/registry/{name}",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer ${NEXUS_API_KEY}"
    }
  }
}
```
