Two Doors Tabs

Feature278: Two Doors Tabs

Two doors behind one pill tab bar: choosing a tab blurs in a portrait photograph that drifts inside its frame, beside a serif title, a paragraph, a ruled list of facts and that door's own action.

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/feature278?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/feature278?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/feature278.tsx, the shadcn tabs primitive it is built on, and the button22 sliding-marker pill and the text1 word stagger it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports feature278Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working two-door feature in one line.

import { Feature278, feature278Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/feature278";

export default function Page() {
  return <Feature278 {...feature278Demo} />;
}

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

import { Feature278 } from "@/components/beste/block/feature278";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Feature278
      eyebrow="Two ways in"
      heading="Pick the door that feels lighter. You can always use the other."
      items={[
        {
          tabLabel: "Therapy",
          title: "For what is heavy and has been for a while",
          description: "Therapy looks back as well as forward, and moves at whatever pace lets the hard things be said.",
          facts: ["60 or 75 minute sessions", "Weekly to begin with", "In the room or on video"],
          button: { label: "Start with therapy", href: "/therapy", tone: "dark" },
          image: { src: "/photos/pines.jpg", alt: "Pine trees standing in soft morning fog" },
        },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Props

type Approach = {
  tabLabel: string;
  title: string;
  description: string;
  facts: string[];
  button: ActionButton;
  image: { src: string; alt: string };
};

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

Behavior notes

• tabLabel doubles as the tab's value, so two approaches must not share a label; give them distinct names and the tabs track correctly.
• defaultValue is read from the first item, so the section opens on a real door rather than with nothing selected.
• Each panel animates on animate rather than whileInView, because a tab panel is mounted when its tab is chosen and would otherwise never have a moment to arrive; the copy is given a 0.1s head start behind the image so the two do not land together.
• The tab rail is restyled into a pill track, with the active trigger inverting to the ink surface and its shadow removed, which is the set's language rather than the shadcn default.
• Keyboard support comes from the shadcn Tabs: arrow keys move between doors and the panel follows.
• Each approach carries its own button, so the two doors can point at entirely different flows.
• The facts list is ruled top and bottom with divide-y between, so a short list of three reads as a small table rather than as bullets.
• The photograph drifts -10% to 10% against a 1.2 scale and clears from blur(24px) on decode, with a complete check on mount for cached files.
