Social feed with stories

Should a social feed have a story row?

It works when there is truly something ephemeral to show. If the row fills with suggestions because the user follows nobody, it reads as an advert and people learn to skip that part of the screen.

What should each post in a feed show?

Author, a category, and how long it takes to read. Those three let someone decide whether to open it, which is the only decision the feed screen exists to support.

Where should engagement counts go?

Below the post, not beside the title. Putting them high turns the feed into a popularity ranking and buries newer posts that have not accumulated numbers yet.

How do I connect this to a real feed?

Paste it into Bolt, Lovable, or Replit and ask your AI to fetch posts from Supabase or your API and render each into a row, with the story avatars drawn from accounts the user follows.
