We're gonna keep things running at bsky.dazzle.fm (not ready yet) so nothing gets disrupted. It's about $500/mo (lots of optimization work to get there given the firehose of posts), but it would be a shame to take down. Our new stuff is going to be super cool, we have a big update coming...

Trying something new on dazzle.fm

How have I only just discovered dazzle.fm? Seems to be Bluesky’s version of Twitter Moments. AI generated rather than human curated but still impressive. @dazzle.fm @trends.dazzle.fm

Any time I wake up and Bluesky seems upset about something (note: this is every day) I go to @dazzle.fm to figure out why dazzle.fm

dazzle.fm is one of the coolest applications of Bluesky I've seen, really great stuff!

I wanted to take a second to give kudos to the @dazzle.fm folks. I feel like I haven't seen as much discussion about them as I'd like. It's a cool product they're building. It's basically a super-powered app view of Bluesky. Here's a little overview:

To be honest, I'm really surprised at how little discussion I see about Dazzle. It's a cool product done well. Well done, @dazzle.fm folks.

dazzle.fm/stats shows interesting spikes in Bluesky discussion (like the tariffs rollback)...

The stats page on dazzle is pretty neat, go check it out: dazzle.fm/stats

@dazzle.fm's internal topic heatmap for Bluesky is now available to the public dazzle.fm/stats Seeing surges of discussion around a topic and working backwards to figure out what caused the spike is a fun past time The 1am science spike is still a mystery though

The amount of people talking about "business" has ticked way up since the tariffs.

look what you're missing out on over at dazzle dazzle.fm/trends/01960...

The effect of #nintendo #switch2 on Bluesky discussion...

Custom algorithms are fun...

Who’s investing in Bluesky apps/ATProto? 👀

@godpod.bsky.social and Satan shouldn't be in consensus.

New PFP, it's about flying season 🪂

Custom algorithms on dazzle.fm/algorithms are actually working pretty well. Negative instructions "no politics", etc. are a lot better...

Here's an April Fool's Day algorithm for you... "Find April Fool's Day pranks, announcements, and news stories." dazzle.fm/algorithms/d...

Create your own algorithm: dazzle.fm/algorithms

We're excited to preview "custom algorithms" for Bluesky on dazzle.fm/algorithms! This is a really early beta which allows you to create your own algorithms through simple text prompts.

Some extremely weird mass spamming from bots is causing issues with trends on dazzle.fm. We're trying to clean up the data, but wow that's a lot of posts!

We got mentioned in TechCrunch’s article about upcoming apps in the ATProto ecosystem Thanks @sarahp.bsky.social!

Nice to see a dazzle.fm shoutout techcrunch.com/2025/03/30/b...

The Nintendo Direct Effect

Glad to see the ATProto conference generated enough chatter to get picked up by the Dazzle algorithm

Next week we'll be improving the OAuth login flow at dazzle.fm with custom PDS support!

Politics makes up about 30% of all post activity on Bluesky, I’m hoping that ratio goes down as the network grows. #atmosphereconf

Hey #atmosphereconf! Check out dazzle.fm and come chat with us if you’re curious how it works. IMO it’s the best source for trends on Bluesky.

“We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.” #atmosphereconf

On the way to #AtmosphereConf!

I’ll be at the #AtmosphereConf social meetup tonight if anyone is interested in chatting about custom algorithms and trends for Bluesky. 👋

About to hop on a plane for #AtmosphereConf in Seattle

Really excited to share this, we've been working on custom algorithms and feeds you control through plain english...

Hyped for #AtmosphereConf! We'll be sharing our custom algorithms preview with attendees once things kick off. 🎉

City builder game in the styles of Cezanne, Piranesi, the Voynich Manuscript, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Rothko, and Seurat (those are in order). Made with Veo 2.

We’re making something people want

We’ve updated dazzle.fm/trends with much better Bluesky posts! Figuring out what’s trending without custom feeds works really well…

Just found out some of my former Stability AI colleagues are building @dazzle.fm, that shows what’s happening on Bluesky. Analyzes and visualize trends. Great work! @johnsabath.com @connerruhl.bsky.social #MLSky

Hi! You may like the trending topic system for Bluesky that we've been working on over at @dazzle.fm

I think people are really gonna like the custom algorithms we’re making for Bluesky via dazzle.fm Imagine being able to “prompt” your feed with direct instructions.

Here's another one. You can clearly see surges in discussion around the Super Bowl and the half-time show.

I felt an earthquake in Cancun, dazzle.fm picked up on it pretty fast.

Hey #mlsky check out dazzle.fm, you can do a lot with the firehose and a single GPU.

Just found out about dazzle.fm/trends it’s a really cool to see what’s trending on Bluesky #atproto

Finally got around to shipping some critical performance improvements on the firehose side of @dazzle.fm I should have done it sooner, it took a ton of DB pressure off

Thanks for sharing I love that the bluesky protocol enables these aggregate views of activity on the network We've been working on a similar project over at dazzle.fm around trending narratives / topics
