Hero with Product Mock Frame

The dev-tool hero: headline beside a browser-chrome frame whose mini dashboard ships real numbers — bars grow in, tokens, a11y and runtime tiles read at a glance.

Snippet provenance

v1.0.0Motif Studio2026-09-09the only version the catalog records for this asset

No changelog entry mentions “Hero with Product Mock Frame”, so the catalog records a single version for it.

Every line above is attributed to the single version this catalog records — we keep no per-line history, so no per-line attribution is invented. See the provenance page for the rule and the gaps.

Review notes · anchored to code lines

Threads attach to a line number in this asset's snippet, so a remark about the focus trap stays next to it.

Loading notes…

The snippet on this page is 12 lines long, so anchors run 1–12. Notes are per-asset and per-browser; a shared review thread is a server feature, and this panel is the local stand-in that proves the anchoring works.

Design notes from the studio

Why it works — A headline claims; a browser frame demonstrates. The dev-tool hero is the fastest way to show a developer product without a video.

The idea — Numbers inside the mock should be real data from the same source as the rest of the site — a fake dashboard is a liability.

When to skip it — Don't animate the mock on loop; one quiet entrance and the frame earns its keep. Autoplay reads as a gif, not a product.

Dependency-aware copy: zero packages to install — paste and run. All markup is original Motif UI content (MIT).

Theme Studio preview

Theming example — two token themes

Assets are token-driven (100% design-token driven). Here the same scene runs under two theme presets from the token sheet.

Usage recipe — where this fits

Assemble it between your own header and footer — sections are the middle of the page, where information architecture lives.

Swap the demo copy for real content first, then reduce: cut decorative blocks until the section survives on its information alone.

Cost honesty

Performance note

1.5 KB gzipone-time layouttext and cards paint once; the cost is in image weight and font loading, not the structure.

Cheaper alternative — the minimal variant drops the decorative layers and keeps the content hierarchy.

What it needs

Browser support strip

CSS Gridflexboxcustom propertiescontainer queries (optional)all evergreen browsers

No polyfills ship with the asset — if a listed feature is missing in a target browser, the graceful fallback is the static layout.

prefers-reduced-motion

Reduced-motion fallback

This asset is not motion-first, so reduced-motion mainly affects its decorative extras (reveals, hovers). The content layer never depends on motion to be readable.

Inspiration context

The pricing page that stopped lying

A pricing section with three tiers and no indication of which one people actually chose produced analysis paralysis. Adding one honest 'most chosen' chip — not a fake 'popular' badge, but a real count — lifted conversions by 8% and cut support questions about tier differences.

Written in-house — no screenshots, no borrowed imagery. The pattern, not the pixels.

The slider is honest: the slim tier has no JS, the pro tier pays for behaviour. Start slim, upgrade only the surfaces that need it.

HTML → React, priced

Stack-switch cost note

Taking the HTML/CSS version into a React component costs real work — and the cost is predictable:

Event wiring

Hover, focus and click become handlers — the CSS stays, the state appears.

Props for the knobs

Every inline value that should vary becomes a prop with a default — the defaults must match the CSS exactly.

The estimate

A clean port of this asset is 20–45 minutes for a React developer — the 368-character stylesheet is the easy half.

picked by tag overlap, not by hand

How these three were chosen: essays scored on shared tags (1 and 0 matches), then prompt scored on block/vibe overlap (1 matches). The rule lives in src/lib/spine.ts, so the same asset always links to the same three pages and a second reader can reproduce the choice.
