Our own @straub.dev is at #gophercon this week and hipped us to this very cool talk by @gdey.me, "Building a Decentralized Social Media App with #Go and #ATProto ." Slides are on his feed: bsky.app/profile/gdey...

We were lucky enough to attend this event, and it made us even more excited about the potential for #atproto.

Thanks again to @bmann.ca and @betaworks.com for hosting the #protocolsforpublishers event last night. Open social is one of the most exciting areas in tech right now, and we're eager to build and innovate among this brilliant community!

Over the past decade, the number of worker-owned #coops has more than tripled. Most owners are women; nearly half are people of color. They prioritize keeping employees during economic slumps. The highest earners make ~1.5x more than the lowest (typical US CEO earns 344x). (source: @usworker.coop)

@blueskydirectory.com is now running on totally new hardware. I managed to migrate everything over this weekend. I had anticipated this would require a couple of hours with the servers offline, but in the end was able to maneuver things around without having to take anything offline.

🎉 You can now browse a list of all the accounts that a verifier has verified! Eg: blueskydirectory.com/profiles/bsk... See a list of verifying accounts: blueskydirectory.com/profiles?t=v... #buildinpublic

Finished adding verification badges to @blueskydirectory.com Will be interesting to see how this evolves, do love that it's not just Bluesky doing the verifying. Already feels better than what we had on the other site. Excited to continue to use my domain as verification 😉 #buildinpublic

Have my jetstream client updated to collect verifications as they happen. Will find a way to backfill the accounts verified already, then start displaying the verified badge on @blueskydirectory.com 🎉

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

Was a crazy week, taxes and work kept me busy. 😢 Didn't manage to send the @blueskydirectory.com newsletter on schedule, but will send an special issue on Sunday. Have some other updates to share next week, excited to see how things pan out.

The Feb update seems to have been lost in my ether somewhere, so here is the March #SEO update for @blueskydirectory.com from Google. Have been expecting to traffic to drop as growth has slowed, but things appear to be holding steady, which is a great sign that Bluesky has traction. #buildinpublic

Finally can say that @blueskydirectory.com has made it! The drug spammers have arrived 😂 Requires a Bluesky account to submit, so took some effort on their part to submit. #buildinpublic #spam #bots

Profiles database is getting to be a good size. Gonna be interesting to see how this grows with the user base. Don't need all the profiles for the app I'm building (have captured about 3M so far), so can optimize this for sure, but consuming all firehose data is the promised land. #buildinpublic

Unfortunately couldn't make it out to Seattle for #ATmosphereConf, so I picked up a Livestream ticket. Looking forward to watching the talks! You can get your tickets: atprotocol.dev/atmosphereco...

About than 5 months ago I started working @blueskydirectory.com This the quickest I've had a site reach a 50 DR. I put it down entirely to luck, being in the right place at the right time, and working on the things that most people were asking for. Sounds simple 😂 #buildinpublic

Got home in time for totality! 2nd picture was taken by my daughter who’s at an observatory! #lunareclipse #photography #moon
