Reaction marks
Stanza has no like button. Readers answer a poem with one of three reactions and carry it further with one of three actions. The six marks are one drawn set, on a 24-unit grid at a uniform live area, used on every surface where those concepts appear.
- CheerApplause. The everyday yes — unlimited, and the one most readers reach for.SVG — Cheer mark, inkPNG — Cheer mark, ink, 512pxFor dark — Cheer mark, cream, SVG
- EncoreRead it again. Deliberately scarce — eight a month (fifteen with Stanza Pro), and taking one back does not return it.SVG — Encore mark, inkPNG — Encore mark, ink, 512pxFor dark — Encore mark, cream, SVG
- TomatoThe old theatre gesture, kept on purpose. A genuine negative signal, not another degree of approval.SVG — Tomato mark, inkPNG — Tomato mark, ink, 512pxFor dark — Tomato mark, cream, SVG
