Nice work with this!

A couple options I was looking at for future consideration:

I'm looking to embed fewer than 30 posts, ideally 10-12. An option to limit this in the code or on the website widget would be helpful.
I would like to embed feeds from different accounts, is it required to authorize as yourself to achieve this, if not an option to change the username as needed in the code/widget would be useful.

Thanks!

Hi @martymi

Thanks for the thoughts! I should definitely be able to add #1

2 is an interesting question. Technically every bsky feed is wide open, so I don't NEED to lock the site behind OAuth. However, a lot of users have come from closed social networks and don't understand that. I want to respect their desire for privacy. Also it helps reduce the potential for abuse (eg someone embedding a feed on a site that pretends to be the feed's author's site, but isn't). It's a fine line and I'm open to discussion on it!

I appreciate your thoughtfulness on #2. My use case here is building sites for others and wanting to embed their timeline. At this stage I'm asking for their password to set this up for them which is not ideal but works fine as a workaround.
