3f205627e0 feat(library): redesign the site around the block catalog (#50372)
## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Feature — the visual redesign itself.

Part 5 of 6 in a stack that splits the library redesign into reviewable
pieces. The four PRs beneath it carry the build, content and Markdown
work; what's left here is layout, navigation and styling.

## What is the current behavior?

The library is laid out like a documentation site: a sidebar tree of
framework folders, a homepage that lists links, and a guide page that
opens with prose. That shape suits reference material, but the library's
job is to help someone find a block and install it — and the sidebar is
the only way to discover one.

## What is the new behavior?

The homepage is the catalog itself — blocks grouped by what they do
(authentication, database, storage, realtime, messaging, AI,
foundations) rather than by framework, each with a preview of what it
renders, filterable by category.

Navigation moves into a site header whose Explore menu opens the same
categories, so the catalog is reachable from any page and the per-page
sidebar tree is gone.

A guide opens with what the reader came for: the block's name, the
install command, and a preview pane with tabs — the running component
and its files — before any prose. The file tree that used to sit
mid-page under "Folder structure" is one of those tabs. Every guide also
offers a copy of the agent prompt that points at its Markdown.

Getting-started pages get the same treatment: the quickstart is now a
framework-tabbed walkthrough rather than a wall of setup links.

## Additional context

`BlockOverviewTabs` renders Preview and Files here. #50369, stacked on
top of this one, adds the third "What's added" tab — it is the only part
of the redesign that depends on the new resource analyzer, which is why
it sits above this PR rather than below it.

Also removes what the redesign orphaned: the table-of-contents component
and its `remark` / `mdast-util-toc` dependencies, and the sidebar nav
and command-item configuration the new header replaced.

The block source changes are typography only — auth card titles move
from `text-2xl` to `font-medium text-lg tracking-normal` — which is what
regenerates the auth registry artifacts.

<FrameworkQuickstart>
<FrameworkQuickstartTab value="nextjs">
## Next.js
<QuickstartStep number="1">
### Create the app
Create a [Next.js project](https://ui.shadcn.com/docs/installation/next) with Tailwind CSS, import aliases, and shadcn/ui configured. Choose npm when prompted for a package manager.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest init --template next --name my-app --base radix
cd my-app
```
Already have a project? Run `npx shadcn@latest init` from its root if it does not have a `components.json` file.
</QuickstartStep>
<QuickstartStep number="2">
### Install the Supabase client
Add the [Next.js client](/library/docs/nextjs/client). The installer adds the client files and Supabase dependencies. If you already have a client, keep your existing setup and check that the block imports match its location.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://supabase.com/library/r/supabase-client-nextjs.json
```
</QuickstartStep>
<QuickstartStep number="3">
### Configure Supabase
Create `.env.local` in the project root. Add your project URL and publishable key from the [Connect dialog](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_?showConnect=true).
```env
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=your-project-url
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=your-publishable-key
```
</QuickstartStep>
<QuickstartStep number="4">
### Add your first block
Install the password authentication block from the project root. This adds the authentication files and their UI dependencies.
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://supabase.com/library/r/password-based-auth-nextjs.json
```
Follow the [Next.js authentication setup](/library/docs/nextjs/password-based-auth#usage) to connect the routes, configure redirect URLs, and finish the email flow before testing sign-up.
</QuickstartStep>
<QuickstartStep number="5">
### Start developing
Run the development server and open the local URL printed in your terminal. Restart the server after changing environment variables.
```bash
npm run dev

## Explore the library
Browse [blocks](/library) by category to find your next component. Each block page includes installation commands, source files, and framework-specific usage instructions.
## Troubleshooting
Run install commands from the directory containing `components.json`. If an import cannot be resolved, check its aliases and the paths in your TypeScript configuration. For an existing project, use the setup guide linked in your framework tab to check Tailwind CSS and alias configuration before reinitializing shadcn/ui.
For framework-specific questions, see the [FAQs](/library/docs/getting-started/faq).
