Thirty minutes, screen-shared, against something of yours rather than a seeded demo account. If you would rather not talk to anyone, the free tier is the same product.

The invitation goes here.

One line. It decides what gets set up before you arrive.

Rendered live in your current theme — this is the same component whose source is below, not a screenshot of it.

/**
 * <DemoRequestForm> — A demo request that offers the self-serve escape first, so the people who did not want a call do not book one.
 *
 * A demo form's layout problem is that it is aimed at two people who look
 * identical on the way in: the one who wants a call, and the one who is
 * there because the page offered no other way to proceed. The obvious wrong
 * answer is to capture both, which fills a calendar with meetings that both
 * sides resent.
 *
 * So the intro names the escape route in its own sentence — the free tier is
 * the same product — before the fields. That loses bookings, deliberately,
 * and the ones it loses were going to be cancelled or no-showed.
 *
 * Two fields. The second, "what do you want to see", is the one that makes
 * the call worth attending: it decides what is set up in advance, so the
 * thirty minutes are spent on the reader's problem rather than on a seeded
 * demo account.
 *
 * Accessibility: `htmlFor`/`id` label association with `aria-describedby`
 * hints, and a `role="status"` live region rendered empty on first paint —
 * without which the "we'll be in touch" confirmation is invisible to a
 * screen reader, on a form whose only outcome is that sentence.
 *
 * The demo defaults to `idle`. With no `onSubmit` it resolves immediately;
 * a real one should hand off to a scheduler rather than promising a reply,
 * because "book the call" and "we'll email you" are different promises.

Before you paste

  • Styling is Tailwind utility classes on semantic tokens (bg-card, text-muted-foreground) — it inherits your theme instead of overriding it.
  • Nothing to install. No component library, no icon package.
  • Every prop has a default, so it renders standalone before you wire it up.

Where it goes

Drop it at components/demo-request-form.tsx and import it where you need the section:

import { DemoRequestForm } from '@/components/demo-request-form'

Customize

2 of this block’s props are simple enough to drive from here. Change them and the block below re-renders — it is the same component whose source is above, not a mock of it. Everything else it accepts is in the table underneath.

Props

Read out of the component’s own type and signature, so this cannot drift from the source below. Every prop has a default — the component renders standalone before you pass it anything.

PropTypeDefault
headingstring"See it on your own data"
introstring—
submitLabelstring"Book the call"
onSubmitCalled with the collected values. Resolve to accept, throw to reject.(values: Record<string, string>) => Promise<void> | void—

Not using React?

The same block rendered once to markup, wrapped as a file your framework compiles. Tailwind classes are framework-agnostic, so the design transfers intact — the behaviour does not.

This block is interactive. The markup below is its initial state with the event handlers stripped — you will need to re-wire the behaviour in your framework.

demo-request-form.html
<!--
  Demo Request Form — markup from the Hoverlab catalog.

  This is the block rendered once to HTML and wrapped as a component
  file. It is not a port of the React source: the Tailwind classes carry
  the design, which is the part that took the work, and they are the same
  in every framework.

  This block is interactive in React and the handlers are NOT here.
  Buttons, toggles and menus render in their initial state and do
  nothing until you wire them up.

  • This is rendered HTML, not a translation of the React source. The Tailwind classes carry the design and work in any framework.
  • It is one frame: the component in its initial state, with no props applied beyond the defaults.
  • This block is interactive in React — toggles, menus or form state. None of that survives here; the markup is the closed/default state and the handlers are gone. Re-wire them in your own framework.
  • Requires Tailwind, and the design tokens the classes reference (bg-card, text-muted-foreground, and so on). The template ZIPs ship a globals.css that defines them.

What each framework gets across the whole catalog — effects convert properly; this rung is markup.

For AI

The component, its props, the design tokens it expects and the command that installs it — as one prompt. Paste it into Claude, Cursor, v0 or ChatGPT and what they build around it will match the rest of the catalog instead of inventing its own system.
