React Editorial Layout Components

Spreads, drop caps, alternating text and images, pull quotes and vertical reading layouts. For content sites and brand stories, where density and whitespace matter more than animation.

10 components, 6 of them free to install without an account.

  • Magazine-style leader-line callouts — numbered captions arranged along a sidebar, connected by SVG leader lines to detail points in the image, drawn one by one on reveal and dimming into focus on hover.

  • Tufte-style sidenote reading layout — a main column paired with a fixed-width margin column, superscript numbers in the body connected to their sidenotes by hairlines, sidenotes fading in and highlighting in sync as you scroll, and an automatic fallback to inline expandable notes on narrow screens.

  • A magazine-cover hero composition — the masthead is image-masked and tucked behind the subject, cover lines are arranged in the four corners, the cursor drives parallax, and the cover lines fly off one by one on scroll to make way for the body copy.

  • A magazine interview layout — bold questions in a narrow left column alternating with serif answers in a wide right column, anchored by oversized quotation marks, with a speaker marker sliding along a sidebar rail and turns emerging in sequence as you scroll.

  • A table of contents in book-index style — dot leaders extend dot by dot from left to right to meet the page number, and a preview card floats out from the end of the row on hover.

  • A book running-head system — a sticky thin bar showing the current chapter title on the left and a page number derived from the scroll position on the right, with the chapter title flipping like a turning page and the folio incrementing in step at chapter boundaries.

  • When a sentence inside a paragraph scrolls into the viewport, a shared-element animation lifts it out and scales it up into a full-width pull quote, dropping it back inline when it leaves the viewport.

  • A Chinese/Japanese vertical writing editorial layout built with CSS writing-mode — vertical columns flow right to left with horizontal pull quotes and images interleaved between them, text reveals character by character from top to bottom on entry, and horizontal scrolling advances the column order.

  • An annual-report / white-paper page shell — a sticky chapter rail generated automatically from the content, giant chapter numbers cross-fading between chapters, full-bleed color-block transitions between sections, and a dual reading-progress indicator.

  • A brand-book swatch board React component: colour blocks fill in top to bottom, RGB, CMYK and WCAG contrast are computed automatically, text on each face picks white or black by contrast, and swatches lift on hover and copy their code on click.
