Full Code

Put this shortcode into layouts/shortcodes/friends.html

<style type="text/css">
    .friends {
        --link-count-per-row: 1;
    }

    @media screen and (min-width: 576px) {
        .friends {
            --link-count-per-row: 2;
        }
    }

    @media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
        .friends {
            --link-count-per-row: 3;
        }
    }

    .friends {
        display: grid;
        grid-template-columns: repeat(var(--link-count-per-row), 1fr);
        grid-gap: 16px;
    }

    /* 空间占位 */
    .friend-skeleton {
