About Strip

About46: About Strip

An about intro (heading and lead paragraph in an asymmetric two-column header) followed by a full-bleed, horizontally scrollable strip that mixes four different card types: photo cards with a caption overlay, stat cards, dark quote cards, and a checklist-style values card. Prev/next buttons drive the scroll programmatically alongside native drag/swipe.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/about46.tsx, the badge6 and button1 components it uses for the eyebrow label and CTA button, and its dependencies.

Quick start

The installed file exports about46Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working section in one line.

import { About46, about46Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/about46";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return <About46 {...about46Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { About46 } from "@/components/beste/block/about46";

export default function AboutPage() {
  return (
    <About46
      label="Inside the studio"
      heading="A team built sideways, moving as <strong>one continuous line</strong>."
      lead="We work as a single horizontal team, not a relay of departments."
      button={{ label: "Read the brief", href: "https://beste.co" }}
      cards={[
        {
          variant: "image",
          src: "https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1522071820081-009f0129c71c?w=900&h=1200&fit=crop",
          alt: "Team mid-critique around a table",
          caption: "Every project starts at one table.",
        },
        { variant: "stat", value: "11 days", label: "Median time to first prototype." },
        {
          variant: "quote",
          quote: "They handed us a working product, not a deck about one.",
          attribution: "Priya Nair, VP Product",
        },
        {
          variant: "values",
          title: "What we hold the line on",
          items: ["Ship the real thing.", "One owner per decision.", "Prototypes over promises."],
        },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Props

type ActionLink = { label: string; href: string };

type StripCard =
  | { variant: "image"; src: string; alt: string; caption: string }
  | { variant: "stat"; value: string; label: string }
  | { variant: "quote"; quote: string; attribution: string }
  | { variant: "values"; title: string; items: string[] };

Behavior notes

• cards is a discriminated union on variant; each card type renders at a different fixed width (image 300px, stat 260px, quote 340px, values 300px) so the strip's rhythm depends on which variants are used and in what order.
• The scroller hides its native scrollbar ([scrollbar-width:none] plus a WebKit pseudo-element rule) and relies on the two arrow buttons or native drag/trackpad/touch scrolling; there is no scroll-snap, so the strip settles at whatever offset the user leaves it at.
• The prev/next buttons scroll by 75% of the visible scroller width (scroller.clientWidth * 0.75) with behavior: "smooth", not by a fixed card count.
• The scroller's inner track uses calc((100vw - 80rem) / 2 + 1.5rem) for its left/right padding so the first and last cards align with the max-w-7xl intro content on wide viewports, while still allowing cards to bleed to the true viewport edge on narrower screens.
• Image cards scale their photo on hover (group-hover/about46:scale-105) and overlay a bottom-anchored gradient scrim so the caption text stays legible over any photo.
