I don't have a problem with making new RPC systems! I can stop any time I want! But I don't want to. So I made a new one for you. It's called Cap'n Web. It's like Cap'n Proto RPC, except focused on working great in browsers and JavaScript/TypeScript servers. blog.cloudflare.com/capnweb-java...

omfg blog.cloudflare.com/capnweb-java... huge news for o-cap enthusiasts

so i was storing the cursor so that I could redeploy the firehose listener and restart, but that was super inconsistent, so instead of dropping like 30 seconds worth of events we were dropping... like hours or more. Sooo, just not storing cursors for now!

am I doing something wrong when trying to set the cursor for the firehose consumer? it seems like it's writing fine, but when it comes back online and sets the startCursor I start getting events with a totally different sequence number, from march 2025

Leaflet support on @atexplore.social is close! Mostly just some code cleanup to remaining.

sproutspeaks.leaflet.pub/3lz7fpu5asc2... @cozylittle.house fought hard to have comments on the side instead of the classic at the bottom! (Also these ideas and feedback is amazing, thank you @bisprout.writes.fyi !!)

The bean is named after the sauce??

Some quick thoughts prompted by herman.bearblog.dev/slow-social-media/ (ugh i really need to work on the bsky post editor in the publish flow 😭)

huh writing blog posts is a great way to procrastinate working on the blogging platform i'm supposed to be working on, nice

:( :( nextjs minor version update leading to ssr hydration errors from radix turbopack leading to mysterious "wrong return type for component: undefined" errors maddening

leaflet webring is music to my ears :o makes me want to write a lil view for adding your site to a ring and cycling through them... hmmm

I know theres no way we're getting around this now lmao but how much more into rsc would people have been if you had to explicitly tag server components with "use backend" vs tagging client components "use client"

ookay looks like if we're gonna make our poll blocks publishable on atproto we're gonna have to make a new lexicon / appview. Ideally I want this to be tiny and self-contained, independent from the rest of leaflet...

is there an existing poll lexicon/appview on bsky? looking to make leaflet's polls publishable! I remember poll.blue but it seems ip based not account?

Looooove a favorite albums list!!! the only one I've listened to from here is ninajirachi's and that is sooo good, iPod Touch is def one of my favorite singles of the year. Will have to listen to the rest!!

these kinds pds proxied services I think will end up being *super* useful for the ecosystem. It's nice to be able to build and use things at different points on a trust gradient. Hoping for services for notifications, payments, preferences, and probably a bunch more I'm not thinking of.

I've spent nearly a year with Sill now. I think it's the antidote to doomscrolling. I took Leaflet for a spin to talk about how you can use Sill to make social media more sane.

I love the idea of doing more with links too. This quote is one such example, but I think there are even more things possible w/ ATProto. Links are *resources* for us to use to build things.

Huh pixel 8 just updated and things feel noticeably faster. First time that's happened.

Shout out to @ranganaut.bsky.social — impressed with "The Daily Planet" publication they've been writing on @leaflet.pub, daily links to planet-themed essays (etc) + commentary, now up to 18 daily posts & two weekly ones! Threading a few favorite quotes here below…

@jakefee.bsky.social ur on such a good run of terms, theseotomy?? folkification? silver institutions!! all so useful!

atproto.leaflet.pub/3lxv6kfkfps2... @bmann.ca is right, so just started using iframely.com to automatically pull iframe-able things from urls wherever we can. Should be better, just hit the embed button !

Now this is my kinda tech still progresses story: www.readonlymemo.com/this-is-the-...

The oembed protocol just specifies that it gives you back html to render?? Why not just give me a url I can stick in an iframe? Since I have to stick that html in an iframe anyway??

we have a bit of a url problem with leaflets. the *most* canonical url is the atproto uri pointing to a record in one's pds. But these are real ugly and for publishing purposes you really want your blog to have a nice url. We currently put rkeys in that, but that too might be a bit noisy...

What if a browser could navigate #ATProto DIDs and 🦋 Bluesky handles? Made a little prototype of Aura, a browser that can navigate between standard websites (🌐), Bluesky handles (@), and permanent DIDs, resolving them all in the same address bar.

@jackvalinsky.com (and anyone else dealing w/ leaflet appview issues! made some changes and our appview should be caught up and live now!

Super cool discussion happening in the comments here: augment.leaflet.pub/3lxcznn4bg22f/ Even stretching across multiple publications and posts!! (And yes, absolutely want to do quoteable comments soon!)

Leaflet: mindboggling midblogging

Ookay, just did a bunch of stuff to improve sync perf in leaflet! Still work to do to ensure when you publish it doesn't publish unsynced content, but that case should be *much* rarer now. Let me know if y'all run into any more wierdness, and appreciate any stress testing!

Sorry about the sync issue w/ leaflet y'all, working on improving!

Folk Around and Find Out

btw @cozylittle.house and I are in Tokyo for the next 5~ weeks, would love to meet any atproto people out here!! (and also if u have general recs, pls hit us up!)

Also! You can turn them off in your pub settings if you don't want em

My firehose subscriber occasionally just randomly starts returning this error and I have no idea why. Any thoughts?

Love a silly metaphor (and a linkblog!!)

Any body interested in an extra ticket for clipping in Brooklyn this evening?

And play is the best way to explore.

I think this is an underrated quality of the pattern language ethos, it's really entertaining to play with! a lot of the criticisms ime fall short when you view the whole thing less as dogma and more as, well, language, with jokes and nuance and play!

I like this philosophy a lot, and feel like it goes beyond microservice/monolith as well. Something we could do a *lot* better w/ leaflet tbh. When your app evolves out of semi-local-first instant document creator there's definitely a bunch of cruft that makes it harder to run...

I may have gotten distracted writing a markdown to leaflet lexicon converter...

Can we implement native comments for leaflet before our flight back home in 4~ hours? lets find out!

new (first) blog post just dropped! a guide on how to deploy your own PDS - server deployment, DNS, SMTP, migration with Airport, troubleshooting, and even ASCII art customization!

it is done github.com/nulfrost/lea... i'd say a very rough v1 but going to clean it up as this week goes on. don't understand much about doing this whole release thing but i'll figure that out as well 😮‍💨 report issues on github and i'll get to them as soon as possible

I am obsessed with this building in Montreal

I think this is also one of the simplest neutral ways bsky can support the atmosphere. Letting the bsky app be a notification center would make a whole bunch of niche apps immediately much more viable

I know ppl are thinking about email & atproto, from email oauth scope, to us working on email subs w/ @leaflet.pub — who's thinking about what comes next? What might be the long term vision for something like an atproto inbox, shared across atmosphere apps/services?

wanna buy a digital camera... overwhelmed by options... - a used fuji x pro1? - two friends independently got ricoh gr iiis and seem to like them a lot? - sell a laptop and splurge on the pixii+ and never buy another camera???

Hmm what do we need to build on leaflet to get atproto/bsky sports blogs going?
