reactA small marker pinned to a live element to flag something new or needing attention, that opens its explanation on click rather than hover. The badge itself persists until the user explicitly dismisses it, so a flagged field stays flagged until actually read, not until the cursor happens to pass over it.
reactMobile data-entry sheet with three drag snap points — peek, half and full — so the page stays reachable behind it instead of a full-screen takeover. Drag by pointer or step by keyboard, Escape to close, focus returns to the trigger.
reactOne step of a product walkthrough — a spotlight ring that tracks a live target element, a callout card with a step counter and Next/Back/Skip, fully keyboard operable.
