Would love to hear feedback on this design

🥸

Made the bean view page on @arabica.social a bit better (based on suggestions received, thanks @hipstersmoothie.com and @graham.systems)

does this look good for bean pages btw, been sitting on this for a few weeks and I feel like I should release it

coffee

First post in my new blog series about developing @arabica.social called "Coffee Thoughts". This one talks about how the app started and how I ended up building it on atproto

There's never too much coffee in my life... arabica.social

Added a custom domain to the statuspage (so I can remember what the link is now) status.arabica.social

Seems to be back now. Log some brews (if you want) alpha.arabica.social

Major Internet outage in my area is causing downtime. Not sure when we’ll be back up. I might need to look at cloud hosting soon.

Any thoughts on another feed card UI redesign?

New small QOL feature, you can now enable a setting in @arabica.social that adds a "copy AT URI" button to the actions menu:

@arabica.social records up in the record collector labeler now! 👀

The sheer amount of joy I have with having @arabica.social exist is just incredible. Super happy to see this out there! alpha.arabica.social/brews/3mix7c...

👀

@arabica.social users, are there any features (or tweaks) you wish the site had? Coffee people who haven’t used arabica, what is keeping you away? Trying to figure out what I should work on next

almost forgot to update this one alpha.arabica.social

Another new @arabica.social feature?!?!? Nicer OpenGraph embeds!!! Share away!! alpha.arabica.social/brews/3mibjq...

Another new @arabica.social feature!! Rating averages on beans and roasteries! These are visible on your profile and "my coffee" pages. (These are public by default, but can be changed to only viewable by you in settings)

Pushed out a small update to @arabica.social that makes the feed cards look a bit nicer for pour-overs, and now shows the additional brewing method-specific details that were recently added

More new features for @arabica.social?? Popular recipes are shown above the community feed, the recipe explorer is now linked on the homepage, and there are counts for brews with different beans and gear! Also consolidated "manage" and "my brews" into the "my coffee" page.

Also I forgot to mention, this update also adds ratings to bags of beans! You can add one when creating a bag or on the view bag/manage pages

See @arabica.social to log your brews and beans

just pushed a big UI (and to some degree UX) update for @arabica.social! It makes the UI look a bit nicer, and adds a dark mode! It also makes the brew entry flow more streamlined by collapsing fields when using recipes, and provides quick record creation for brewers, grinders, beans, etc.

👀 (really early alpha for recipes out -- I may completely rework the way the recipe maker works)

Dark mode soon? 🕶️

Slightly scuffed, but making good progress towards a recipe explorer for @arabica.social

Recipes soon? 👀

I pushed out a fix to the @arabica.social feed that makes it load faster now (~200ms to ~5ms) (I wrote bad code and hit an N+1 query situation)

New features for @arabica.social are out today! - Suggestions when creating certain record types (these add a ref field to the record that points to the record that the suggestion was generated from) - Notifications tab (see when people like/comment on your brews) - Variety field in bean records!

Should I add a "recipe" lexicon to @arabica.social? I envision it as being something you could use to autofill some information about a brew, and it would be an ideal record for sharing with others. Then maybe you could create recipes from brews? I'm open to ideas

Just got out a couple smaller changes to arabica out. Added filtering and basic sorting of the feed on the home page

I've been wanting to track my coffee brews via my website for quite some time, but have just decided it was too complicated, and instead I've been taking a photo of all the coffee bags we buy 😅 And now I've found @arabica.social 👀

Comments are live on @arabica.social 👀

👀

Opengraph embeds 👀 Check out this brew by Patrick on Arabica alpha.arabica.social/brews/3metbr...

Comments soon 👀

likes are looking better

arabica has likes now 👀

☕

Improved the manage page a bit (I'm probably going to add ratings for beans next -- probably prompt for rating upon closing a bag of beans)

I'm liking this page for viewing brew details quite a bit 👀

atproto + coffee 👀

Had some PDS issues over the weekend (self-inflicted), but I'm back working on my atroto coffee project again. I'm hoping to get it to a point I'm ready to share soon...

Anybody into coffee, are there any metrics you'd want to see in a brew tracker that aren't here? I've been fairly happy with this lexicon for my pour-overs/aeropress, but I'd love some feedback.
