Linked Story Cards

About this block

Linked Story CardsPRO

Three case studies, each card a whole link: a photograph drifting inside its frame, a serif figure with the span it covers, the story in two sentences and an attribution facing an arrow that lifts on hover.

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/usecase61?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/usecase61.tsx plus the button22 sliding-marker pill and the text1 word stagger it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports usecase61Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working linked Story Cards in one line.

tsx
import { Usecase61, usecase61Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/usecase61";

export default function Page() {
  return <Usecase61 {...usecase61Demo} />;
}

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

tsx
import { Usecase61 } from "@/components/beste/block/usecase61";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Usecase61
      eyebrow="What changed"
      heading="Three years, told by the people who lived them."
      button={ label: "Read every story", href: "/stories", tone: "outline" }
      stories={[
        {
          figure: "18",
          figureLabel: "months of weekly hours",
          title: "The year the noise stopped",
          description: "Started after a bereavement nobody at work knew about.",
          attribution: "Beth Orton, individual therapy",
          href: "/stories/noise",
          image: { src: "/stories/noise.jpg", alt: "A window with the blind half drawn" },
        },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

  • The figure and its label share a baseline, so "18" and "months of weekly hours" read as one measurement rather than a number with a caption.
  • The whole card is one Link and carries no border, so the photograph is the edge of the object.
  • attribution sits on the closing row opposite the arrow, which keeps the name away from the story it belongs to only loosely.
  • The closing row is pushed down by mt-auto, so three cards with different excerpt lengths line their attributions up.
  • Each card 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.
