claude generated some sample post about "just deleting my mass deletions" early on in some design doc and so now every time it does mockups for me, it regurgitates that sample post

this is cool puredit.korz.dev

I'm thinking of building a logged in version of the For You playground: linklonk.com/bluesky It could have some personal stats and settings. What would you like to see/do on that page?

i wish compacting made a dialup sound

i wonder how long will it take for @cloudflare.social and @vercel.com to get in on the action. might be a good opportunity for smaller players to steal some thunder

Okay here for good, expect a lot more investment on Bsky from Railway

I've been trying to figure out how to pitch Bluesky integration for @puzzmo.com - I have 4 main goals: - Follow @puzzmo.com - Sync your bsky + puzzmo followers - Use a bsky labeler for a 'streetpass' for Puzzmo users - Put streak/stats in user registry so other apps can use it Interested in ideas!

Imagine if social media let you build social features on top of it instead of locking you out. That's exactly what we're doing with npmx

yeah this is awesome. anyone not excited about atproto in 2026 is just sour as hell

hmmm

this one is pretty good

lol the Trending box transparently overlaps the compose button on some viewport widths

summoned an unusually powerful claude instance. 4.6 has been hit and miss for me so far the entire day but this one is just really good. maybe i finally have enough for a good context

string escaping is literally an application of hilbert hotel

Rewrote the useActionState docs, does this make sense? github.com/reactjs/reac...

tbh opus 4.6 feels unreasonably slow. not sure if bug. straight up ~5-10 minute thinking with not much to show for it

useEffectEvent makes handling events in Effects much easier and saves unnecessary unmounting and remounting of listeners. It now has awesome new docs: react.dev/reference/re... Thank you to @ricky.fm the updates, and @danabra.mov and @stephanjnoel.bsky.social for reviewing

Losing control of the code www.chrisarmstrong.dev/posts/losing...

Been using @atproto/lex a lot lately and it feels really good to use. The cli install feature is a really nice touch. All the extra validation is taking a bit to get used to, but using a full nsid as a type to something like a .get feels right

Love messing around with ATProto stuff. Since I use @bookhive.buzz to track my books, I was able to build a web app that pulls all my currently reading and want to reads and sorts them based on ratings / how long to read. Because somehow after clearing my list on New Years, I'm already at 76 books

I think there's big $$$ for the first cloud provider to provide a relay with free egress to if you have a VPS there. Okay maybe not big $$$, but like $5 from me a month

this is not quite right but there's something to it

this was fast! @val.town is cool

Been mulling over @bnewbold.net's recent post on community spaces and atproto's next frontiers. I wrote about why building for organizers (not just users) might be the key to making it all work.

📣 Just Scheduled Can social media exist without being owned by big companies? The community behind ATProto believes social media should be about people, not specific apps. @zeu.dev gives us an intro to building apps for the atmosphere. Details:

Very interested to see how this goes code.claude.com/docs/en/agen...

Interop is the future, once you taste it you can't go back to walled gardens Also - it was really inspiring & fun to work with @margin.at - happy to be building the Atmosphere's annotation layer together ;)

added @standard.site support to obsidian-atmosphere - Publish notes to @leaflet.pub and @pckt.blog from within obsidian - Browse your subscribed publications and clip to your vault semble and margin interop is so good now that I need to update how I display the two 😄 github.com/treethought/...

"Wrote 1 memory (ctrl+o to expand)" ^ is that a new thing? never saw it before

some thoughts on how to implement public community spaces in atproto. I think it is important for us to stretch what the protocol can do; and there are some great opportunities for self-hosting, moderation, customization, etc

demo

it’s a few steps away but i’m very excited to make a “just for you” demo with this- lil SPA that just renders spacecowboy’s For You feed …but with zero backend and minimal requests, just hydrating the skeleton with slingshot (and ofc forwarding your auth token so it’s really your personal feed)

@stevekrouse.com is there any good way to avoid the "lockfile integrity" screen of death on @val.town when underlying thing changes? i'm doing codegen based on public mutable data. i'm fine with codegen output changing over time and relying on last cached version. but it needs to be able to change

What are people's favourite niche tools/apps to showcase ATproto? Things like coral.waow.tech or @flushes.app

Raycast extension finally available!

🚰 hydrate constellation XRPC endpoints (of course!!) here: one single request(!) fetching all @tangled.org issue *records* (actual records! not just links!) with the "good-first-issue" label, via constellation's many-to-many xrpc

it works!? proxy any arbitrary xrpc upstream, find links where you tell it to look in the response, attach linked records. here it's directly requesting a bluesky feed generator + injecting all posts into the response. single request, nothing bluesky-specific. so hydrated rn🚰

ok this is getting tolerable. strongly typed in both directions

Fantastic overview of the atmosphere and the power it affords people. This will be my go to piece for people going forward.

worse than that, i'm working on OLE

i'm pretty excited about this — with HTTP imports, you get typed lexicon codegen from nsid directly in your @val.town vals

the speed of wikipedia editors will never cease to impress me en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonnet_5

ya i actually don't understand this. www.eurosky.tech/register announcement is similarly confusing. the big call to action is "Register early to claim your username" but the whole point of atproto is that this is not a thing! you don't need to "claim usernames" anymore

not sure this is the best way to go about it, but here's something lex.val.run/app.bsky.fee...

@matthieu.bsky.team i want to call lex-builder with in-memory json, is there a way to do this without filesystem access?

Googling for “a world without apps” has great contrast in its top two results: 1. An Apple WWDC intro equating a world without apps to a literal apocalypse 2. A keynote from Michel Beaudouin-Lafon arguing we should abolish apps in favour of a substrates-oriented computing

as much as i hate to admit it, getting atproto integrated into more developer tools and developer platforms is probably the quickest way to getting atproto installed in more consumer apps/platforms… gotta get the nerds hooked so they’ll add it to the things they make for consumers

HUGE day for Deno! 🎉 - The all-new, completely rebuilt Deno Deploy is now in GA - If that weren't enough: we're ALSO launching Deno Sandbox! Deno Sandboxes are on-demand, isolated safe zones that run on Deno Deploy. Perfect for running any untrusted code (like from an LLM, or from end users).

Heyo. I used to work on infra at Val Town. I hacked together a quick and dirty version that uses the actual contents of the posts and runs them in cloudflare dynamic workers: phew.network
