🌀 skewnav

Skewed 3D navigation tiles with optional iOS-style glass blur — built for React + TypeScript by Vikram Kumar (V-Bytes).

✨ Overview

skewnav is a lightweight React component library that renders a skewed 3D navigation bar with optional glassmorphism (blur, transparency, and saturation inspired by iOS).
It’s fully themable, written in TypeScript, and works seamlessly with Next.js, Vite, and other modern React frameworks.
