Usage

Goto any template part you would like to display the value of the quick summary field, be it a content, below your post title, under featured image, and if you prefer, above the sky ;)

Then, add this:

        $summary_title      = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'quicksummary_title', true );
        $summary_textarea   = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'quicksummary_textarea', true );
        if ( is_singular( get_post_type() ) && '' !== $summary_title && '' !== $summary_textarea ) {
          ?>
        <div class="c-summary">
            <p>
          <?php echo esc_html( $summary_title ); ?>
            </p>
            <section aria-label="quick summary" class="article__summary">
              <p>
            <?php echo esc_html( $summary_textarea ); ?>
              </p>
            </section>
          </div>
          <?php
          } 
        else {
          echo '';}

If you want to customize the summary box in your post, you can swap the classes for your use cases, e.g you can change the c-summary class to something different and style it the way it fits your use case.
