thanks to claude code i might actually ship the thing i wanted to make back in 2021 but didn't have the patience for. incredible time for people with vision and skill but low execution velocity

If you’ve attended JS/CSSConf EU, it wouldn’t have been the same without @lukaszklis and now he needs your help: his family home was devastated in a fire. I know times are tough for all, but if you can, please help turn this nightmare into a community miracle. 🙏 front-end.social/@fox/1157439...

what an embarrassing self-own by Chrome for Developers team

A personal recap of 2025. It was a year of a new style of engineering. Left some ideas for what might come next. lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/12/22/a...

I made something new: an eslint plugin to validate your npm ecosystem lockfiles! It supports npm, pnpm, yarn, bun, and vlt, and it's already helped find a supply chain security attack vector inside a fortune 500 tech company. www.npmjs.com/package/esli...

starting work on something exciting (maybe)

A new promising experiment with the way For You works has started: leaflet.pub/9a8bef7f-c39...

Yeah thats where we’re going The 2026 goal is to make The Atmosphere an idea that lives outside of Bluesky, as its own larger movement

it's funny to read claude thinking mode output. when it works well, it's always - starts with a few paragraphs that directly make sense - starts writing down some concrete ideas and directions - ... - "the emerging framework centers on actionable insights..." - ... but somehow comes out good

It's really sad that Chrome laid off one of the world's best CSS developer-designers, and now they have to fake demos of web features. youtu.be/d8J0vs-bEPE?...

Thinking about a flashcard based language learning app on the at-protocol

!!!

yea. i wish bluesky branding could somehow climb out of that hole but i don’t see how at this point

fwiw everyone should read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_sign.... includes “monkey tail”, “snail”, “dog”, and “crazy A” something to keep in mind

thinking of adding server code highlight per chunk to rscexplorer.dev

my claude code often gets stuck when it runs dev server or similar and then for some reason just waits forever on it. is there a way to teach it to never get stuck

Per my cofounder the naming goal should be something like email It’s simple and neutral: mail, but e-lectronic So staying close to the @ feels smart - it’s the universal form of identity on this thing we call social media

i should say “sing in with your AT handle” is easily my second favorite. sounds exactly like @ handle, but clear tie to AT and visually different doesn’t require so much arguing, capitalizes on AT wordplay but it needs to link to normie explainer etc

Okay we added this! Thread viewer now has a way to collapse / expand nested threads ✨↕️

really enjoying tools.slices.network experiments. write directly to an html file, no build tools, deploy to CDN. it's great for lexicon exploration because you don't have to commit to a domain, just use your subdomain. in a few hours i made a fully functional AT bug app! tangled.org/slices.netwo...

In which i offer to facilitate a research project to explore atproto ecosystem brand and user experience needs discourse.atprotocol.community/t/research-p...

I think that both Ghost & Wordpress have made a pretty grave product error integration AP over ATProto, but I understand how they got there, especially if the integration was lead by technical teams and not product teams. Does make me wish for a special projects person like @emilyliu.me used to do

I'm leaving @tldraw.com to enter the world of contracting. From January, I'll be prototyping contributor tools at @wikipedia.org My next availability is June!

Last week we released Tap, a tool to help you sync the Atmosphere, and it got me thinking about how revolutionary backfillability really is.

Threads is effectively shelving their fediverse integration, after it saw marginally little use Zuck has played the game well, harming both open protocol movements while growing his platform, getting good PR and distracting regulators connectedplaces.online/reports/fedi...

fucken lifesaver

Guilt trips and moral high grounds are the two worst sales strategies imaginable. Understanding "how people stay on ___" requires both sociology and empathy! Perhaps changing behavior _at scale_ is more of an organizing problem than a sales problem anyways.

in case you missed it: yesterday i wrote about a new open source tool i made, called RSC Explorer. it lets you interactively step through how the React Server Components protocol works directly in the browser — no server needed.

Leaflet's Atmospheric Advent Almanac, Day 18 LAUNCH [3] — Bluesky thread viewer You can now browse Bluesky threads right in Leaflet, both post embeds and quotes/mentions! Nice for more seamlessly bringing in social context…try it with some examples in this very post! cc/ @erlend.sh :)

what could help a lot with improving understanding of the ATmosphere/ATProto is if the largest atproto app (@bsky.app) would start referencing the ecosystem, protocol, or framework in-app so normies can start to understand better currently that context/educational cue is basically nonexistent?

fantastic article “two kinds of vibe coding” the part on testing is particularly insightful davidbau.com/archives/202...

also it is so much EASIER to make comprehensive tests now if you know what you’re doing. in my three vibecoded projects i made the kind of tests i’d never bother to do before. and they saved my ass many times you do need to steer it to test the right things which requires some experience and taste

ooooh, new @revolution.social pod with @jay.bsky.team!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0O4...

i wrote about my new hobby project overreacted.io/introducing-...

yea the beauty of the web is everyone can literally do their own thing and see what sticks

plenty of fixes deployed to rscexplorer.dev, but mostly i just feel a lot better about the code itself

i like this one as long as it links somewhere

the funniest thing about "this is not AI, this is machine learning and it's good!!!" replies is that ML is a subfield of the broader AI field, and the disliked "AI" is a product of that exact subfield

it doesn't matter if you're not first if you do it better than the others

ya i agree

guys you literally already wrote a whole blog post about it, how hard is it to add "opt-in on both sides" into the tweet before posting (and to add alt text). you know your userbase and somehow keep fumbling basic communication

We're doing the next @atproto.london at Newspeak House on 28 January, it's been like 3 months since our last one so I want a solid lineup of talks. Will announce soon but figured I'd put out an early RFP. If you want to do a talk about something ATProto-related at the next event, please ping me!

New post! ✨ Prompt caching ✨ My first big project post for @ngrok.com. 5 weeks, 12217 lines of code, 195 commits. I poured a lot into this one, and learned a lot in the process. I really hope you enjoy it ❤️

ayy this is great

@tangled.org tried setting up tangled ci for tangled.org/@danabra.mov... today but basically gave up because i couldn't get playwright with chromium running (idk how). works fine on github

RSC Explorer is now open source! tangled.org/danabra.mov/...

just published the first slices tool! obviously it's gonna be statusphere but more soon. excited to tinker and build on a network of slices via quickslice in the Atmosphere (without React)! tools.slices.network/statusphere tangled.org/slices.netwo...
