Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/feature311?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/feature311.tsx plus the button22 sliding-marker pill and the text1 word stagger it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports feature311Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working linked Photo Cards in one line.

import { Feature311, feature311Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/feature311";

export default function Page() {
  return <Feature311 {...feature311Demo} />;
}

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

import { Feature311 } from "@/components/beste/block/feature311";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Feature311
      eyebrow="Reading room"
      heading="Three long pieces, if you have the afternoon."
      button={ label: "The whole journal", href: "/journal", tone: "outline" }
      cards={[
        {
          title: "The first ten minutes",
          description: "Almost everyone spends them apologising.",
          meta: "Practice",
          href: "/journal/first-ten-minutes",
          image: { src: "/journal/ten.jpg", alt: "A clock face on a plastered wall" },
        },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Props

type Card = {
  title: string;
  description: string;
  meta?: string;
  href: string;
  image: Image;
};

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

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

Behavior notes

• The photograph sits inside the card's border rather than above it, so the whole tile reads as one object under one Link.
• meta is a plain sentence-case line rather than a badge, which keeps the category from competing with the title.
• Each card owns its own scroll listener and drifts -8% to 8% against a 1.18 scale, so three in a row do not move together.
• The arrow is pushed to the foot by mt-auto, so cards with different excerpt lengths still line up.
• Photos clear from blur(24px) on decode, with a complete check for cached files.
• The border darkens on hover rather than the card lifting, which keeps the row still.
