It was sometime in early April. Version 0.1.0 had been sitting on npm for maybe twenty-four hours. I was clicking through the documentation site I'd just deployed, riding that brief, fragile wave of pride you get right before you discover a critical bug.

The Card component page featured a standard "Copy" button on the code block. Out of pure habit, I clicked it, flipped over to a scratch test project, and ran npm install @​7onic-ui/react. The installation finished cleanly. Then, the development server lit up bright red.

Module not found: Can't resolve '@7onic-ui/react/card'
