Post Index Rows

Blog70: Post Index Rows

A post index as a ruled table: a sticky column of heading and pill action beside rows that each line up a category, a serif title, a date with reading time, and an arrow that lifts on hover.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/blog70.tsx plus the button22 sliding-marker pill and the text1 word stagger it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports blog70Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working post index in one line.

import { Blog70, blog70Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/blog70";

export default function Page() {
  return <Blog70 {...blog70Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { Blog70 } from "@/components/beste/block/blog70";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Blog70
      eyebrow="Recent writing"
      heading="Short pieces, read in the time it takes the kettle to boil."
      button={{ label: "Everything we have written", href: "/journal", tone: "outline" }}
      posts={[
        { title: "The first ten minutes", category: "Practice", date: "August 2026", readTime: "4 min", href: "/journal/ten" },
        { title: "Rest, unearned", category: "Tools", date: "July 2026", readTime: "6 min", href: "/journal/rest" },
      ]}
    />
  );
}

Props

type Post = {
  title: string;
  category: string;
  date: string;
  readTime: string;
  href: string;
};

type ActionButton = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
  tone?: "primary" | "light" | "dark" | "outline";
};

Behavior notes

• Each row is a 12-column grid rather than a flex row, so category, title and date land on the same vertical rules down the whole list however long any single title runs.
• Below md the grid collapses to a single column and the arrow is dropped with hidden md:block, because a hover affordance is dead weight on a touch screen.
• Date and reading time are joined with a middle dot in one span, so they wrap together and never split across two lines with the dot stranded.
• The whole row is one Link, which means the entire strip is the hit target rather than just the title.
• The arrow only moves under motion-safe:, and the title's colour shift is a plain transition, so the row still gives hover feedback when motion is reduced.
• The left column is md:sticky md:top-28 so the heading and action stay with the reader down a long list, and reverts to normal flow below md where a sticky column would cover the rows.
• Rows enter with a small 0.08s stagger, which is deliberately tighter than the card blocks in the set: a list of five reads as one object, and a longer stagger would make the last row arrive noticeably late.
