Single-Quote Spotlight

One customer, quoted at length and backed by a stat row — the section for when a single believable story argues better than a wall of five-star fragments.

components/testimonial-spotlight.tsx
/**
 * <TestimonialSpotlight> — one quote, given the whole section.
 *
 * A wall of six testimonials averages out to noise; one customer telling a
 * specific story is what a prospect actually repeats to their boss. The
 * gamble of a single quote is that anecdotes are dismissible — so the stat
 * column sits beside it, converting "Meridian liked it" into "and here is
 * what changed", each number attributed to the same rollout as the quote.
 *
 * The quote is a real <figure>/<blockquote>/<figcaption>, so the
 * attribution is programmatically tied to the words it vouches for.

Before you paste

  • Styling is Tailwind utility classes on semantic tokens (bg-card, text-muted-foreground) — it inherits your theme instead of overriding it.
  • Install: npm i lucide-react
  • Every prop has a default, so it renders standalone before you wire it up.

Where it goes

Drop it at components/testimonial-spotlight.tsx and import it where you need the section:

import { TestimonialSpotlight } from '@/components/testimonial-spotlight'

Customize

3 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.

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.

testimonial-spotlight.html
<!--
  Single-Quote Spotlight — 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 has no interactive behaviour, so nothing is missing.

  • 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.
  • 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.
