Social Post Grid

Social49: Social Post Grid

A social proof grid of six linked post cards, each with an avatar, handle, timestamp, the post itself, and reply, repost and like counts under a hairline.

Installation

Swap YOUR_EMAIL and YOUR_KEY for the email and license key on your account. Find your license key on your account page.

Radix flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r/social49?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/social49?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/social49.tsx plus the badge23 and button21 components it uses for the eyebrow and the closing action.

Quick start

The installed file exports social49Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working grid in one line.

import { Social49, social49Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/social49";

export default function PostsPage() {
  return <Social49 {...social49Demo} />;
}

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

import { Social49 } from "@/components/beste/block/social49";

export default function PostsPage() {
  return (
    <Social49
      badge={{ label: "Said in public" }}
      heading="What practices posted without being asked to"
      description="None of these were solicited and none were paid for."
      posts={[
        {
          name: "Tom Ashby",
          handle: "@tomashby",
          avatar: { src: "/people/tom.jpg", alt: "Portrait of Tom Ashby" },
          body: "Four clinics, one waiting list, and the first Monday in years where nobody rang round.",
          time: "2h",
          replies: "12",
          reposts: "34",
          likes: "218",
          href: "https://example.com/post/1",
        },
        {
          name: "Elena Rourke",
          handle: "@elenarourke",
          avatar: { src: "/people/elena.jpg", alt: "Portrait of Elena Rourke" },
          body: "Eleven years of records moved over a weekend. I had budgeted three weeks.",
          time: "1d",
          replies: "31",
          reposts: "96",
          likes: "540",
          href: "https://example.com/post/2",
        },
      ]}
      button={{ label: "Read them in full", href: "/testimonials" }}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

• Engagement counts are strings, not numbers, so they can carry abbreviations like "1.2k" without the block needing to format anything. They use tabular-nums so the row stays steady.
• The three engagement icons are aria-hidden, which means a screen reader hears three bare numbers. If that matters for your use, add visually hidden labels in the installed file.
• Each card is a whole Link with a hover fill, so the entire post is one target pointing at the original thread.
• Cards are flex flex-col with the body marked flex-1, so the engagement rows align along the bottom across every card in a row regardless of post length.
• The header block uses min-w-0 with truncate on the name and handle, so a long handle ellipsizes rather than pushing the timestamp out of the row.
• The engagement row carries its own border-t, so the rule belongs to the counts rather than sitting as a divider in the card.
• The closing action wrapper is flex items-start justify-center. The items-start is load-bearing: without it the button would stretch vertically inside the centered flex row.
• The grid is one, two, then three across, so six posts fill exactly two rows on desktop.
