You can just share stuff

🚀 You can now create an account right within Frontpage app @bsky.app will host your data but you don't need a profile on Bluesky if you don't want one! As always you can still login with your existing account on the Atmosphere either by entering your handle, PDS URL, or with with Bluesky 🦋

We just deployed a change that will massively improve the performance and reliability of Frontpage 🚀 This unlocks a bunch of new features that we're looking forward to bringing you all 👀

😍 so sick!

The @nor.dev conf schedule just dropped 👀 Excited to be talking about @frontpage.fyi! Haven't quite decided if it's gonna be a deeply technical talk or one about communities, protocols, and the success and failures of side projects yet though

Frontpage is currently in read-only mode while we fix a critical bug. Issue has been identified and we're working on a fix. Hang tight!

If you visit a profile on Ouranos, you'll see a new "Atmosphere" tab. This is part of an ongoing process of supporting ATProto apps. So far I've added support for @frontpage.fyi, @linkat.blue, and @whtwnd.com. The design will evolve as I test and experiment, and I'm aiming to support more apps.

The app is pretty flaky right now, we're looking into it!

🌟 WhiteWind Update 🌟 Thank you for always using WhiteWind. We have implemented a new feature that allows rich rendering of links from Frontpage, a service where you can post article links and engage in discussions on atproto! For more details, please check the article on link cards.

Frontpage algorithm visualized 📉 Blue and Red are the rank scores of two Frontpage posts over time. Blue = a post that gets 50 votes in the first five hours Red = a post that's posted a day after Blue and never gets any votes

An honour 🫡

Aaaaand we're back!

Looks like Bluesky is having some issues causing Frontpage to be unavailable for most people. If you have a self hosted PDS you can probably still use the app though 🙈

Hey folks! Small update from us: Frontpage is now available to everyone 🎉 Login at frontpage.fyi to start posting and voting. Lot's of updates to come. We're working hard on bringing notifications to the app. Further out will be decentralised & sovereign sub-communities.

Sorry, Bill.

New feature just dropped on frontpage.fyi Welcome to infinite scroll! Now with 10x more db queries until we patch it 😂

We just passed 50 closed beta users! Thanks everyone for taking part so far, more cool things to come! We're working hard to open up access to everyone 🚀

A roadmap squeezed into a bluesky post 🔜

It is done 🥲 You can delete those app passwords, oauth is live on frontpage.fyi

The issue is always caching

Ok, gonna do it. Streaming some atproto dev at 8pm UTC tomorrow Event here if you want to RSVP: smokesignal.events/did:plc:2xau7wbg… Stream link here: youtube.com/live/-5mnF2iiNqo

Shoutout to frontpage.fyi, a HN clone built on AtProto. I was only a Xitter user shortly before the launch of BlueSky (thankfully) but I do find myself wanting for something like Reddit that is ethically built. This is a great start!

Most elaborate to expose that your app has 0 users 😭

new avatar microsoft lawyers don't know what bsky is right?

We just migrated the Frontpage database to sqlite/Turso (from Neon/Vercel Postgres) Shout if you run into any bugs!

What a fantastic session hosted by @atprotocol.dev / @bmann.ca with @tom-sherman.com about @frontpage.fyi! #atprotocol #devtalk

😳 app was down but it's back up now

Changed the handle of this account For context we started at @frontpage.⁠unravel.⁠fyi, so we used @unravel.⁠fyi as the handle. But now the app is at just frontpage.fyi I suppose it makes sense to use this handle!

We didn't quite get there first but it's so so so close bsky.app/profile/did:plc:…

What if #Frontpage was the first app to support atproto OAuth? 😏

Last Month in Bluesky - June 2024 all the news that happened this month: - 2 major labelers, Aegis and Taurus quit - easier onboarding for Bluesky with starter packs - new platforms starting to appear in the ATmosphere beyond microblogging #atproto fediversereport.com/last-month-i...

We accidentally deleted all of the posts and comments on the #Frontpage AppView lmao We'll be reconstructing it over the weekend, they should be back soon. This is why we're in closed beta folks!

Heads up! #Frontpage URLs will be changing 🔜 Because we're still in closed beta, we don't plan to put redirects in from the old structure to the new. This means any URLs you've shared previously will 404!

We plan to build several products on atproto, #Frontpage being the first. Something cool is cooking in the background and to make things a bit more distinct, Frontpage now lives at frontpage.fyi 🫡

This is a great!

What if posts and comments on #Frontpage were bridged to Bluesky? 🤔

Voting on #Frontpage coming soon 👀👀👀👀

We're working on frontpage.unravel.fyi to bring a link aggregator experience with comment threading and votes to the #atproto ecosystem DM to get access to the app ☺️ and do tag us in any bug reports

Want to deploy a PDS on fly.io? I have some code you can try! It should actually work on any host that can run docker and supports volumes github.com/likeandscrib...
