unfollowing everyone on linkedin except this guy

I can now say I'm open to work as a full-stack software engineer with a product focus. I'm a founder with 5 years of startup/small business experience and a doctorate from Yale. Bay Area and open to in-person/hybrid/remote. Reach out if you'd like to reach out!

For almost the past 8 months I've been following a self-taught roadmap for web development and I'm finally "finished". Wrote about the process here. www.natemay.dev/blog/how-i-l...

Kind of obsessed with @rewiringamerica.bsky.social 's web app. This is a nonprofit (helping you make a plan for switching to solar & electric appliances) and they've pulled off better performance and UI/UX than most banks/ecommerce giants. www.rewiringamerica.org

I just open-sourced the platform I'm building to house the creative music learning tools I've developed. I'll be posting updates as I go and welcoming feedback. #nextjs #buildinpublic www.natemay.dev/blog/announc...

What if, instead of replacing humans and building shoddy software to solve nonexistent problems, AI-driven productivity boosts were used to make things ~work better~.

New blog post about how and why I built Finfetch, an open source transaction downloader. www.natemay.dev/projects/fin...

I just released Finfetch--a free/open source app that allows you to download all your bank and credit card transactions to CSVs with one click. Should be useful if you keep track of your income/expenses in spreadsheets or with #plain-text-accounting software. github.com/natepmay/fin...

Here's more info about my firehose racing game, why it exists, and what was fun about making it. www.natemay.dev/projects/hos...

Ever wanted to race words against each other on the Bluesky firehose? No? Well now you can anyway. Been working on this for a few too many months and it's time for it to see the light of day. Enjoy! hose-race.natemay.dev

New personal website is up. I'm christening it with a post about Chordle, the music Wordle spinoff I made in 2022 that went viral and got me into web development. www.natemay.dev/projects/cho...

Been in deep work mode for the past few months. A few updates: - New handle (@natemay.dev). Old one was @natemay.bsky.social. - I'm no longer actively maintaining balloon.fyi but you're welcome to download the data if you'd like it. - I'll be sharing more work soon.

React 19 is finally here. github.com/facebook/rea...

Genuinely glad we had effectively a tsunami drill here in the SF Bay Area. Here's what I learned while trying to keep my family safe:

Seemingly the only online tsunami zone map, which is pointed to by every official emergency resource, currently looks like this. DevOps is important.

I have a bit of an eye injury right now and I have blurry vision/some pain keeping my eyes open. It's manageable at the moment so taking this time to explore what it would be like to try to navigate the web if I went blind. 🧵

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon. Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

In this newly released dataset: A lot of objections about not consenting to be in these kinds of datasets

In case any #atdev folks were thinking about using @skyware.js.org to deploy a bot using Deno Deploy, looks like you'll have to wait a few weeks: github.com/skyware-js/b...

**This Website is Hosted on Bluesky** This weekend I found myself digging through the AT Protocol specifications and the Bluesky Personal Data Server (PDS) implementation. In doing so, I discovered that I could setup a website that is fully hosted on Bluesky. danielmangum.com/posts/this-w...

Post editing: clunky but possible.

If you want to read @dustyweb.bsky.social 's recent thread and all replies as a tree diagram, here it is (much more readable than the bluesky client): blue.mackuba.eu/skythread/?a...

In-depth dive from one of the authors of ActivityPub.

I've put together the most comprehensive database of Bluesky/Atproto apps and tools that I know about: balloon.fyi. Would love some help getting the word out about this--I think it will be useful for a lot of folks and there are many ways it could evolve. 🎈 #atproto #apps #developers

devs! want to build something on #atproto but not sure where to start? check out this "Call for Projects" with a bunch of ideas, ranging from protocol frameworks, to entire apps, to bots

Adorable.

Bluesky is very likely to reach 20M users in the next 11-17 hours. Here are 5 community-built visualizations for Bluesky user data 🧵

Exploring the full bluesky firehose, in three dimensions: firehose3d.theo.io

Now that I've broken 34 followers I'm in the 90th percentile on this app according to @jaz.bsky.social 's Bsky Stats (bsky.jazco.dev/stats). Good reminder of how long the tail is currently. There are probably a lot of interesting people with single-digit follower counts.

2 yrs ago today: appears to be the first post on here.

Does anyone know of a way to combine all your feeds into one feed? #feed #newfeed #bluesky

Nice, @theo.io made exactly what I was looking for. It works perfectly, found a ton of Bluesky people I didn't know were here!

I know most of you from real life or the Bad Place, but if we are newly acquainted, you might enjoy my MusicRadar column analyzing various recent and classic songs www.musicradar.com/author/ethan...

I want to create an incubator that funds atproto/bluesky experimental projects to the tune of $5k-$10k dev grants. I am sorely tempted to call it “Chemtrails”, because it seeds the ATmosphere Hit me with your best ideas!

I want to build a client that shows you popular links in your feed, similar to feedseer.com, which I built for Mastodon (or Nuzzel for Twitter, for those who remember it). Funding could help /w infrastructure costs.

We can build a set of tools for disaster/emergency/humanitarian responses. I am based in Cairo so we are seeing spikes of demands for housing, medical supports regularly whenever conflict starts in the region. Having a fast mechanism to connect arrivals and mutual aid groups would be amazing.

waow

Someone asked the difference between Bluesky and Mastodon and I told them that they're both food courts, but with Mastodon you have to get your whole meal from one place and with Bluesky you can mix and match. (X is a giant IHOP with no other options). Thoughts?

today is my birthday. my wish is that you consider subscribing to see/saw or telling people about it. I used to write about punk for Pitchfork but it was occasional + in the margins of news work. see/saw is a firehose of punk coverage. other great writers contribute things. thanks ❤️ see-saw.fun
