Once more experimenting with likes and reposts and how they’re displayed.

A facepile on hover would be kinda cool, I guess, but this’ll have to do for now.

(#Laravel makes this so easy.)

Toot

Written by Jan Boddez on 2025-01-14 at 20:11

My IndieBlocks plugin for WordPress had (or, well, still has) a block pattern or something that unlocks this type of display, rather than the default “facepile.” Come to think of it, that version could be unreleased, still.

Either way, in my Laravel app’s Entry model, I simply have:

public function likes(): HasMany
{
    return $this->hasMany(Comment::class)
        ->where('type', 'like');
}

And so on. In other words, likes are just comments, with a type of like.

And then I can loop over them like I do for “regular” comments, or simply, like in the screenshot above, do something like {{ $entry->likes->count() }}.

And a gazillion other things that nobody in this whole wide world cares about.

But, hey, if you wanted, purely hypothetically, you could totes self-host this and develop your own “theme” only, in simple PHP/Blade, and keep everything else as is, and it should “just work.”
