Hero signup
ProA full screen waitlist hero on a soft, drifting mesh gradient: the email field validates as you type and its button grows into the confirmation with your place in line.

example.tsx
import { HeroSignup } from "@/components/arc/blocks/hero-signup/hero-signup"; export function Hero() { return ( <HeroSignup count={2140} onSubscribe={async email => { const res = await fetch("/api/waitlist", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify({ email }) }); if (!res.ok) throw new Error("We couldn't save your spot"); const { position } = await res.json(); return position; }} /> );}HeroSignup
A full screen landing hero built around one email field, on a soft mesh gradient tinted from the page accent. The field validates as you type, the button holds a spinner while the request runs, and on success the button grows across the field into the confirmation, where your place in line rolls in.

- Submits the email. The field shows send on mobile keyboards.
- Tab
- Moves from the field to the button, then to the inline actions under it: the typo fix, Try again, or Change email.
- A real form with a labeled type=email field, autocomplete=email, inputmode=email and enterkeyhint=send.
- Validation messages are specific (a missing @, an unfinished domain) and tied to the field with aria-describedby and aria-invalid; they appear after blur or submit, never while the first address is still being typed.
- Joining, success, and failure are announced through a polite status region; focus moves to the confirmation on success and back to the field on Change email.
- The button stays focusable while busy and ignores repeat submits, so a double press never joins twice.
- The field font is 16px on phones so iOS never zooms, and every target is at least 44px tall.
- The headline rises in word by word once on load, followed by the supporting line, the field, and the social proof.
- Submitting crossfades the label into a spinner inside the same button, so nothing changes size.
- Success is one spatial transition: the button's shape grows across the whole field on a critically damped spring and becomes the confirmation, while the place in line rolls in digit by digit.
- The mesh drifts on a slow, seamless loop and blends into the new colors when the theme or accent changes. Reduced motion draws one still frame, removes the rise, the shake and the rolls, and swaps states instantly.
- Fills exactly one screen: min-height is 100svh (100vh where unsupported), so mobile browser bars never hide the bottom, and the content is centered vertically.
- Works from 320px: the headline scales with the container, the button label shortens on very narrow widths, and the social proof stacks.
- The line under the field reserves its height, so a validation message or the confirmation never moves the content below.
- The background is the Gradient mesh component in background mode: one WebGL triangle with a light shader grain, no editor chrome and no pointer handling.
- The loop stops while the hero is off screen or the tab is hidden. Without WebGL the same palette renders as CSS radial gradients.
Notes for AI
Give your coding assistant the Markdown reference instead of screenshots.
- Choose this when the first section of a page exists to collect an email: a waitlist, early access, or a launch list.
- Wire onSubscribe to your API and return the real position; throw Errors with short human messages and the block handles busy, retry, and focus.
- In the preview, an address that contains fail shows the failure path once, so Try again can be tested.
