robot-heads: one React component gives your AI agent an animated face with 9 states
victor_explore · x · 2026-10-13
robot-heads is an open-source React component that replaces your app's boring "thinking…" spinner with an animated robot face on an LED-style screen.
It acts out 9 agent states — idle, thinking, searching, listening, speaking, working, happy, error, sleeping — with 4 head shapes (rectangle, square, circle, hexagon), custom shell/trim/screen colors, and a playground that writes the JSX for you.
