## Best for

An always dark pitch with teal accents beside an isometric bar chart of 7 usage readings, 1 flagged spike and focusable bars

## Agent notes

- Replace `USAGE_BARS`, `SPIKE_CALLOUT` and `CHART_CAPTION` in data.tsx; each bar's `extrusion` is set by eye and is not derived from `value`
- Get All-access and View Plans pass `render` an anchor to a bare hash, so neither reaches a route until you set the target
- `HERO_BRANDS` holds 4 single tone white wordmarks that the row recolors with a fill override, so a colored logo loses its colors

## When not to use

- Live usage figures plotted on axes with gridlines and a legend: use the [Line Chart blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/chart/line-chart.md)

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @reui/hero-1
```

## About Hero blocks

### When to use

- The first screen of a landing page: a headline, a lede and the actions a visitor takes first
- A launch pitch beside the product itself, as a rebuilt console, an isometric scene or a carousel
- A waitlist signup that collects an email above the fold, or trust shown by ratings and logos

### When not to use

- A working sidebar layout for the signed in product, not a decorative picture of one: use the [App Shell blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/application/app-shell.md)
- A closing band lower on the page that repeats one signup or upgrade ask: use the [CTA blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/marketing/cta.md)
- A storefront opener that sells goods, with prices, a product mosaic or a cart: use the [Shop Hero blocks](https://web.dev.reui.io/blocks/ecommerce/shop-hero.md)

### Agent notes

- `Hero` takes no props and renders the page `h1` from copy written inline in components/hero.tsx; keep it the only h1 on the page
- No call to action reaches a route or backend: links point at an `href` hash, form submits only set local state and the rest have no handler
- Each section sets its own `px-4` and `py-12` padding and a `max-w-7xl` track; strip them when your layout already pads content
