Something I should have shown in the demo is that it does the verification steps too. Sets up /.well-known/site.standard.publication and puts the <link rel="site.standard.document"> tags in the posts.

Working on a WordPress plugin for @standard.site called Wireservice. Here's a two-minute preview.

where do i get the germ button :(

apple news on atproto cc @knowtheory.net

I've been following the Remix v3 repo and they're adding an ORM to that thing? Are they building JS Django over there?

not a comment on this article: what is visitlink.me? is it about to ruin my life re: link matching in @sill.social?

hey we're really working on permissioned data! read the first in a series of posts i'll be doing about our design decisions along the way. this one is about our decision to not do an e2ee system

Anyone ever had their PDS shut down after startup every 5 minutes or so? Logs do not make it clear what is going on. I self-host the bsky reference PDS on Railway.

Is anyone from product/engineering at @cnn.com here? Your JSON-LD schema on news articles is busted. It truncates at ~10k characters, so the JSON be parsed or validated. The character count is so high because you're putting the full article in `articleBody`.

The competition has billions of dollars, billions of users and deep political connections. Quit the crabs-in-a-barrel mentality if you care about all of our collective work meaning something in this lifetime.

Playing with a redesign of filters in @sill.social. I've iterated on this a lot throughout the project. This feels better than what I have now.

the @newsmastfoundation.org x Bristol Cable collab that was showcased at @protocolsforpublishers.com London last night was an example of this pattern they just... did it.

Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone, but if you’re a journalist out of work, and you think it’s for you, check out @tinynewscollective.bsky.social. We’ll help you out.

I’m not convinced the Magical Journalism Rich Person is out there but if they are do an endowment please.

At every news organization I've ever worked at, the journalism produced in the graphics and data departments, or backed by engineering resources, has outperformed "traditional" journalism by any metric.

Many friends in graphics and engineering from my time at The Washington Post were laid off today. What an unnecessary, upsetting disaster this has all been. Our news environment is worse off.

Tomorrow, we'll launch an all new experience to make collaborative growth a breeze for independent journalists. Next week, we'll launch the public beta. Join us in breaking the isolation hostile platforms have created. Reserve your username: trustfnd.com

late night fosdem watch? (it'll be 12:30 am)

self-funded, team size one lol

If you want to lean into predictions 2 and 3, use @sill.social. If you want to lean into prediction 1, stay tuned 🤫

it's so cool when i watch a movie on netflix and then all my youtube recs are clips from that movie

So here's a short write up explaining what happened today and what I'm going through, at a high level. It does include some history too, but I tried to keep it brief.

free idea: strudel.cc on atproto

Oh damn I used this today and didn't even realize it was new! Felt natural, great new feature.

Sill is running properly again. Backfilling old data over the next 15-30 minutes.

Sill is having some issues with atproto oauth connections. Working on it, hopefully will be functional soon.

hello from did:web

here -> bsky.app/profile/bnew...

Is there a guide to setting up a did:web account somewhere? Would like to test some OAuth edge cases.

If I'm reading this right, USA Today is going to build their own vote counting operation (rather than getting results from AP, Edison or Decision Desk). I've long wondered if another news organization would take a stab at this. jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/gannet...

You can now signup directly on blento.app without having to already have an atproto/bluesky account! Powered by @selfhosted.social's PDS (thankfully didnt have to set up my own pds 🫶), pretty happy with the sign-up flow too 😊 from no account to created blento page in less than 1 minute!

Just deployed this. If you've been waiting to use @sill.social, now's your time!

Sill now has OAuth-based account creation! Here's the explanation on the new authentication flow. If you already have a Sill account, you'll now login by providing your atproto/Mastodon handle. If you don't have account, you can sign up with your handle!

Great blog, gets at one of the core problems for expanding Sill: following timelines are very hard and very expensive. unfoldingdiagrams.leaflet.pub/3mdf4b5dnms2p

Many Europeans want to be free of American and Chinese Big Tech apps. Open, decentralized protocols like ActivityPub (powering Mastodon) and AT Protocol (powering Bluesky) may be the key to a new sovereign social media infrastructure.

Today, your most-used interoperable protocols are probably smtp, delivering your email, and https, loading web pages Interoperability means you can use Gmail and Outlook, or Chrome and Firefox, to access the data that's moving over the same agreed-upon (protocol) rails ATProto does that for social

Every time someone tells me that interoperable protocols are too complicated for the average person, I point out that they use email and the web. The goal needs to be to get atproto to the point that it is just "how the internet works" and the details fade into the background like https & smtp.

Random @sill.social question I've been pondering: would people be interested in having Daily Digests in their PDS + have shareable links to digest editions?

Would love to know more about how this feed is built!

Random @sill.social question I've been pondering: would people be interested in having Daily Digests in their PDS + have shareable links to digest editions?

Working on a new onboarding process for @sill.social. You will be able to create an account directly from atproto (or Mastodon), initial syncs happen in the background, and core features are better explained. Here's a video of me getting through it in ~40 seconds.

Leaflet is on @standard.site! A big joint effort — and we're finishing a big migration to get Leaflet records standard-site-ified :) Log in to Leaflet & you'll be migrated automatically. Read this post for details, and let us know any q's. Social publishing. Atmospheric publishing. Together!

早速 @sill.social 試してみた。 Bluesky と Mastodon に対応している、フォロー中のアカウントやフィードで話題になっているリンクをまとめて見られるサービス。 フィードごとに含めるかどうか選べたり、シェア数のしきい値、時間枠など細かく設定できて便利。シェア元のポストが表示されるのがちょっとしたコメント欄みたいになっているのもいい感じ。 sill.social
