welp twitter's not working hello bsky, how's everyone doing? i haven't been here in a while, how many of my twitter circles are still using this thing?

ME AND WHO

weird that it's normal for me to get 0 likes on a skeet here on twitter that has literally never happened once i hit like 200 followers

they talked about bluesky on yesterday's episode of blocked and reported "they named them 'skeets'... why would they do that, i don't get it" priceless entertainment, 10/10

anyway the most basic version of listfollowers for bsky is out now https://bskyfollowers.netlify.app/ there's no search, export, combining 2 lists etc, that's all coming also no error handling bc there's no docs for the API, idk what errors can even happen try it out, if it crashes let me know

started one week later but finally under way today i fairly quickly discarded the idea of making my own backend right off the bat i'll start frontend only to ship something quick; afterwards i can fuck around w session cookies and bullshit like that most of the work is UI which won't go to waste

thread of threads on various aspects of being a human and living life will (hopefully) keep adding more

i'm a proponent of what i have been calling "social localism" localism is about sourcing food and other goods from areas that are geographically local to you social localism is about sourcing social resources from people that are in your local social graph, that you know personally

one of my favorite ideas is thinking of self-coercion as motivational debt then, from "the optimal amount of debt is not zero", we derive "the optimal amount of self-coercion is not zero"

ah bsky doesn't have an oauth provider, so any bsky client will have to be username+password login, which means people will be asking to see the source code, and i really do not wanna set up a separate monk github account and split my projects under 2 accts gonna namedoxx with my regular github ig

when i first started on twitter i poasted mostly actual thoughts over time i got lazy and devolved into basic bitch slice-of-life poasting and people seem to like it but i miss the wisepoasting with a clean start on bsky i wanna get back to the roots

sometimes you think "i should do X" but you don't wanna do X "that girl is 100% flirting with me. i should ask her out" rationally, you're convinced it's a good move. but you're a coward now what

ok this weekend i'll get started on a bsky client not exhaustively covering all of the functionality but picking some functions to complement the official client starting off with followers management/search/sort/filter a la listfollowers.com

sigh lmao guys "you thought your tl is just random people that you can start talking to? no no we actually all know each other really well. but you don't need to feel excluded!! oh it hadn't occured to you to feel excluded? well now it has 😊"

sometimes i want to improve along some axis bc i'm positively motivated to make things better. things being better is good sometimes other people shame me for where i am in life and imply i should improve to stop being shameful (often they do this unintentionally!) >

dating someone should feel like a freefall

no don't tell me i'll have to extend listfollowers.com to work with bsky too this feels like one of those technical interview questions where they make you handle one usecase and then add a different one to see how extendable your design is

huh i simply can't log in to the web app from a mobile browser, not even when i request the desktop site welp i'll see you all in the evening

ok who wants to do a DMs proof of concept? go here: https://www.devglan.com/online-tools/rsa-encryption-decryption encrypt your message with the public key in the next tweet and poast the encrypted output if you want me to reply, use the same link to generate your keypair & give me your pub key

wait i just realized that on twitter i got more followers than most of my moots bc i started earlier and it snowballed from there here we're on equal footing and i'll have to learn how to poast good oh no

pass it on

test

the UI here is janky af you can tell there's one frontend dev who's working their ass off and zero UI designers it's kinda cute

hey guys
