I made a thing. You can put a Mastodon post URL in the search box and it will show the post.

I was learning #Fedify and I wanted to make a minimal Next.js example of a "read-only" app that was for consuming the Fediverse and didn't mess with interactions. It started as a boilerplate to benefit other devs, but the act of making it forced me to learn a lot more about Fedify and ActivityPub.

I'll say in my campaign to make a fun design the React code is not pretty. Floating elements that break out of CSS's box model are tricky. In a more polished version, I would love to make Web Components that abstract away the messiness of sticking shapes all over the place. The hashtag/link highlight is achieved with an SVG path, since SVG paths aren't too difficult to control their length in code. The cloud is animated by ensuring each "blob" is a separate SVG path.
