Monthly Letter CTA

Cta98: Monthly Letter CTA

A newsletter sign-up that reads like an invitation rather than a capture: the pitch on one side, and on the other a rounded email field, a full-width pill, a note, and a ruled row of reader avatars with a count.

Installation

Swap YOUR_EMAIL and YOUR_KEY for the email and license key on your account. Find your license key on your account page.

Radix flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r/cta98?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/cta98?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/cta98.tsx, the shadcn input primitive the capture is built on, and the button22 sliding-marker pill and the text1 word stagger it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports cta98Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working newsletter section in one line.

import { Cta98, cta98Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/cta98";

export default function Page() {
  return <Cta98 {...cta98Demo} />;
}

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

import { Cta98 } from "@/components/beste/block/cta98";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Cta98
      eyebrow="The monthly letter"
      heading="One quiet email, when the month turns."
      description="A few paragraphs on rest, attention and the slow work, written by the practitioners."
      form={{
        placeholder: "you@example.com",
        button: "Send me the letter",
        note: "Around 900 words. Read in five minutes, or not at all.",
      }}
      avatars={[{ src: "/readers/one.jpg", alt: "Portrait of a reader" }]}
      proof="Read by 2,300 people who mostly do not open newsletters." 
    />
  );
}

Props

type Avatar = {
  src: string;
  alt: string;
};

Behavior notes

• The right column is a flex with justify-end, so on a wide screen the field and its proof row sit at the foot of the section and line up with the end of the pitch rather than with its first line.
• The Input is deliberately transparent with a rounded pill shape, and its focus ring is traded for a solid border, so the field and the button under it read as one object.
• The button is stacked under the field rather than beside it, which is what lets both stay full width and keeps a long call to action from being truncated in a narrow column.
• The avatar row carries shrink-0 on the stack, so a long proof sentence wraps instead of squeezing the portraits.
• Avatars overlap with -space-x-3, each ringed in border-background, so the separation comes from the ring rather than from a gap.
• The copy waits on 0.3 + heading.split(" ").length * 0.05, matching the word stagger, so the paragraph arrives as the last word of the heading lands.
• The form only calls preventDefault(); no address is captured or sent until you wire it up.
