Alternating Rows

Feature282: Alternating Rows

Alternating rows: each one pairs a photograph that drifts inside its frame with a small-caps eyebrow, a serif title, a paragraph and a read link, swapping sides down the section.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/feature282.tsx plus the button22 sliding-marker pill and the text1 word stagger it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports feature282Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working alternating feature rows in one line.

import { Feature282, feature282Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/feature282";

export default function Page() {
  return <Feature282 {...feature282Demo} />;
}

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

import { Feature282 } from "@/components/beste/block/feature282";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Feature282
      eyebrow="The work, up close"
      heading="Three kinds of session, one way of listening."
      button={{ label: "Compare them side by side", href: "/compare", tone: "outline" }}
      rows={[
        {
          eyebrow: "In the room",
          title: "An hour that belongs to you",
          description: "Sixty or seventy-five minutes in a room chosen for its quiet.",
          href: "/in-the-room",
          image: { src: "/rooms/bench.jpg", alt: "A sunlit room with a low timber bench" },
        },
      ]}
      labels={{ more: "More about this" }}
    />
  );
}

Props

type Row = {
  eyebrow: string;
  title: string;
  description: string;
  href: string;
  image: { src: string; alt: string };
};

type ActionButton = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
  tone?: "primary" | "light" | "dark" | "outline";
};

Behavior notes

• The alternation is done with explicit md:col-start values on index % 2 while both cells stay in md:row-start-1, so the visual order flips without the DOM order changing. The image always comes first in the markup, which is what keeps the reading order sane for a screen reader on every row.
• Below md the column starts drop away entirely and every row stacks image-then-copy, so the alternation never turns into an inconsistent mobile order.
• Each photograph owns its own scroll listener and drifts -10% to 10% against a 1.2 scale, so rows do not move in lockstep down the page.
• Each row has its own eyebrow separate from the section's, so the rows can be labelled (In the room, Online, On foot) without repeating the section title.
• The read link's arrow lifts only under motion-safe:, so the hover affordance is dropped for reduced motion while the link keeps working.
• Rows are spaced with a gap-20 that grows to gap-28, not with rules, so the section reads as a sequence of scenes rather than a table.
• Row titles are h3 under the section h2, and only the read link is clickable, which keeps the paragraphs selectable.
