Long-form
Inline Poll
A single-question poll dropped mid-article, with real radio-button options and a result bar that appears once the reader votes. Keyboard- and screen-reader-operable out of the box; your own API call owns persisting the vote and the caller supplies the tallies back in — this never fakes a backend.

| question | string | Yes | ||
| options | PollOption[] | Yes | ||
| results | Record<string, number> | No | Vote counts per option id, if the caller already knows them (e.g. after a reload). Omit before any votes exist. | |

The note / tip / warning / danger callout a docs page or technical article needs repeatedly, from one component instead of four. Left accent bar + icon + label so variants read apart at a glance without relying on colour alone, built for pages that stack several of these without feeling noisy.
astroThe affiliate/sponsored/review-unit disclosure strip that monetised long-form content needs near the top of the piece — calm, matter-of-fact copy with an optional link to a standing disclosure policy.
astroA lightweight 'was this helpful?' strip for the end of a post or docs page — thumbs up/down with an optional comment box that only appears after a choice is made, ending in a thank-you state. A deliberately lighter, binary take than a full satisfaction-score prompt, built to drop straight into prose with no state library.
astroThe opening block for a blog or long-form page — kicker, headline, dek, and an author/date/read-time meta row, with an optional cover image. Marked up as a proper document header with one real h1, so the rest of the article's heading order stays correct.
