Doing some work to make the @arabica.social recipe creator better/more freeform

My navidrome server if behaving weirdly and after some troubleshooting I think some of my server ram might be failing 😭 (I might need to move hosting of arabica off that machine -- at the very least I need to do it while I run memory tests)

Bandcamp Friday!! - Burnout Days (Reimagined) by flipturn - Bohemian Clutter EP by pencil - Lot to Learn by Winyah - American Football (LP4) by American Football - Big Day by Slow Pulp

I should fix my tangled knot and host my dotfiles on it

vouch

I have the best buddy

no way I got nerdsniped by otel stuff AGAIN

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

how do I keep getting nerdsniped into doing otel stuff

coffee

how does one go about commissioning a designer to make a logo/assets for a project (I want to make a better logo for @arabica.social)

mood

Need image for bug report, ignore this

I want to make @arabica.social stickers before the @richmond.atmosphere.community meetup but the logo is still a placeholder until I make/commission a better one...

too many projects not enough time

@samuel.fm thanks for fixing the chat banner in the new release!! It’s nice being able to see chats now with lots of labels

I'm excited to announce another guest post on the atproto.com blog! This time, we're featuring @spacecowboy17.bsky.social, the maintainer of the popular For You Feed (bsky.app/profile/spac...)! atproto.com/blog/serving...

I'm going to "Richmond ATmosphere Meetup #1". atmo.rsvp/p/richmond.a...

A feature I contributed to @tangled.org is live now 👀 (the "stars" page)

I'm going to "Let’s build an atproto app!". atmo.rsvp/p/baileytown...

Another great cup of coffee alpha.arabica.social/brews/3mjx2t...

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

I just want to say @anisota.net's thread explorer is awesome. I really love the design of it and I enjoy looking at it so much more than the bsky one.

If I were to write some blog posts about @arabica.social(pertaining to development mainly), is there anything y’all would be interested in reading? Right now my loose blog ideas are: - motivation for building, and how it became an atproto app - dive into the embedded PDS testing system I made

Is this anything? Trying to make the detailed view pages look like a notebook

Fixed a bug in the @arabica.social feed that broke chronological ordering on mobile. (server-side rendering columns was a bad idea when screen size affects the number of columns)

This version is now live!! Next up is maybe making other pages adopt a similar design (profile and my coffee)

Ooh yeah this is pretty nice (setting up the grid on the server side)

watching @lancehedrick.bsky.social go slurp crazy on this video was very fun www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLK4...

What a great cup of coffee ☕️ Check out this brew by Patrick on Arabica alpha.arabica.social/brews/3mjhy5...

Also the pinboard design I'm working on is looking pretty cool (its better in light mode than in dark mode)

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

Better uptime than GitHub already lets gooo

SWEs with a higher SAT verbal than math score right now:

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

Woohoo I made a status page, red is good right?? arabica-systems.betteruptime.com

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.

This design is live now, might change it further in the coming days depending how much I like the pinboard layout I was trying out yesterday

100% agree (its also not that hard to set up granular scopes)

Trying more things

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:

I’ll throw my hat in the discourse ring. here’s an app I’m working on that’s very much going to be used outside the atproto-dev-sphere and the little explainer that went along with sign in. design not final, copy not final, etc. etc.
