## 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.

Upgrade to Pro

Pro blocks install through the shadcn CLI with your license key and ship their full source. Docs and live previews stay open to everyone, so you can read every block's details first.

### Installation

Swap `YOUR_EMAIL` and `YOUR_KEY` for the email and license key on your account. Find your license key on your [account page](/account).

**Radix flavor**

bashCopy

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

**Base UI flavor**

bashCopy

```
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.

tsxCopy

```
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:

tsxCopy

```
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 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.
