Showcase53: Linked Alternating Slabs

Full-width ruled rows that alternate the photograph left and right, each row a whole link.

Radix flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r/showcase53?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/showcase53?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/showcase53.tsx plus the text1 word stagger it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports showcase53Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working linked Alternating Slabs in one line.

import { Showcase53, showcase53Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/showcase53";

export default function Page() {
  return <Showcase53 {...showcase53Demo} />;
}

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

import { Showcase53 } from "@/components/beste/block/showcase53";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Showcase53
      eyebrow="The rooms"
      heading="Every space, and what it is for."
      slabs={[
        {
          title: "The front room",
          description: "Two armchairs and a door that closes properly.",
          meta: "Rua da Prata, second floor",
          href: "/rooms/front",
          image: { src: "/rooms/front.jpg", alt: "A sunlit room with two low armchairs" },
        },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Props

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

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

Behavior notes

• Flipped rows use explicit md:col-start-* with md:row-start-1 rather than an order utility, because reordering alone pushes the photograph onto a second grid row.
• The whole row is one Link, so the photograph and the copy lead to the same page and the row tints as a unit on hover.
• Rows carry no index: the alternation and the rule between them already say where one ends and the next begins, so a number would be decoration.
• The block ships no pill: the rows are the navigation, which is why it carries text1 but not button22.
• Rows collapse to a single column below md, photograph first, so the alternation costs nothing on a phone.
• Each row owns its own scroll listener and drifts -8% to 8% against a 1.18 scale.
• Photos clear from blur(24px) on decode, with a complete check for cached files.
