A few days ago I wrote about @rolld.at, the little board game tracker I built on the AT Protocol. As I mentioned then, this is very much a learning experiment for me. In this post, I'd like to come back to a few of my struggles and the things I learned while designing it.

Introducing Bobbin: A diskless, API-only AppView for Tangled blog.tangled.org/bobbin/

We went to see a drone show tonight. It was nicely done but somehow the fireworks that came right after were still the highlight of the show.

I hate those types of games where you must be lucky enough to find the right first letter. Whether you succeed or fail, it's not skill it's just luck. ⬛🟨🟨⬛🟨 🟨🟩⬛🟩⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 https://atmot.herve.bzh/p/en/19

Before another old tree falls, let us remember that someone already lives there. Home is precious—whether it belongs to us, a bird, a squirrel, an owl, or a doe and her fawn.

Another day, another ATProto project :)

For years my board game log lived in a little WordPress plugin. rolld.at is my next small experiment: the same log, rebuilt on the AT Protocol, where each play is a record on your own PDS. Give it a try, let me know what you think (and you can follow @rolld.at!)

Mr. Costa’s shimmers in the golden hour

man i just can’t with the claude-written announcements. you made an interesting thing, why not describe it in your own words? “but here’s the biggest unlock, and it’s the part that’s hardest to see” i already read this all day

Started a 7-part blog series, explaining ATproto to people outside the ecosystem. Part 1: Who actually owns your network? gui.do/post/atproto...

Today's #AtmosphericUX is a well-executed familiar game: "AT Mot was partly me asking the opposite question: how little can an atproto app be? The answer turned out to be a folder of static files and a couple of public services I don’t run. That nudged me a bit." lexicon.garden/identity/jer...

AT Mot: introducing AT Mot, a small experiment to rebuild Wordle on AT Proto. Give it a try! This was mostly an excuse to play with Constellation, as @pevohr.bsky.social suggested a few days ago. Thank you! herve.bzh/at-mot-i-reb...

We're very pumped to announce that the reference PDS now has an account management page! atproto.com/blog/pds-acc... You can now manage permissions, update your password, or deactivate your account directly from your PDS, as a regular user — no command line tools or Bluesky interfaces required!

21 years at Automattic One year ago today I published a post about 20 years at Automattic, so it follows that I’ll post this one today, with 17 minutes left in the day. AI is still disrupting our industry, and tech companies that are rolling in money are laying off thousands of developers. I […]

We wrote a @standard.site explainer — what it is & why it's useful 📝✨ ~shared standards for longform publishing? ~a way to see what friends read & write? ~the atmosphere's hottest collab? yes yes & yes! Seeing lots of q's after Bluesky's new standard.site link card integration. Here's a TL;DR!

"but where are all the bluesky instances?" i've heard this so many times that i wrote an explainer

As a Dungeon Crawler Carl fan, I’ve wondered if the success of the book series in the past couple of years meant that we would see the story come to other media. This is now happening!

Nice, but still a bandaid. Instead of making threads look less bad, how about: 1. Allow publishing longform posts via the app; behind the scenes it creates a @standard.site record when the post is >300 chars 2. Display the full textContent from standard.site in the app, behind a "view more" link

@hipstersmoothie.com is moving super fast with @standard-reader.app, it's impressive! New features come out almost daily, and the core reader itself is already well polished, with support for so many content types already: github.com/hipstersmoot...

New Feature: Collections on Standard Reader. Curate articles from across the network into magazine editions. Include your editorial intro, notes on each piece, a closing statement and a theme. Publish as a series readers can follow. Tell a story. Check out the first one 👇

Comments are a basic web feature. So why aren’t they solved on ATProto yet? Comments are about as old and basic as the social web gets, so I assumed ATProto would have them figured out. It doesn't, not yet. Here is my take on why standard.site deferred... https://herve.bzh/comments-on-atproto/
