Research direction

Start with the linked @atproto/api toolkit and the Bluesky post identifier described in the issue. Define the small set of endpoints and the returned JavaScript object fields, including text, enclosed images, and posting time; done means a post address or id can be turned into that structured data for an HTML template.

Description

I had an impulse to write a little web app that takes the address of a post on Bluesky and flows it through an html template and serves it, so I can easily publish stuff I wrote on Bluesky. I thought to use a toolkit John Spurlock pointed me to. Where to start. All the theory upfront, like the spec.

I just want something that takes the id of a post and returns a JavaScript object with a bunch of info like the text, any image enclosed, when it was posted, stuff like that. There really are only 5 or 10 endpoints most apps need.
