last year i did jetstream on a jet (i just got a full relay connection up on this flight's wifi but i'm not next to a window to really show it off)

Incredibly excited to see what Filippo's thinking. Filippo's previous work made operating Transparency Logs accessible even to (enthusiastic) hobbyists: words.filippo.io/run-sunlight/ And frankly familiarity with work like his is the reason I could grok the exciting parts of ATProto's architecture

@enclose.horse brought the vibes. Check the gallery. Check it out in the gallery 🔍 → https://headers.social

For my Atmoconf talk "Feature / Product/ Business" I'm planning to cover: - Funding & sustainability models for each - How open protocols improve your chances of success (and how they don't) - Users vs customers - Perspectives from grantmakers and investors What else should we talk about?

i want to share one of the coolest data collection methods i employed for a story, from over a decade ago. it was used for this story in what i still think might be the best series i have ever worked on:

Palantir's software doesn't have to be great, it's all an integration play. You make presentations that wow the executives or whatever, and then you get the people who actually have to use the system to pay a kajillion dollars to integrate Palantir's software to their environment and data.

When I was earlier in my career, I remember feeling so upset when I had an idea and someone else had the gall to research and write about it before me. And then I realized that the “having the idea” was not the work.

Yep, this is very relevant to my interests. I've seen developers celebrating their spouses deploying their first iOS app. And sure, that's amazing! It's also crazy that getting an apple developer account is the barrier to entry to this software abundance we're living in.

Has everyone seen the mini documentary about the Local-First community by @cultrepo.bsky.social? Worth a watch to get an introduction! youtu.be/10d8HxS4y_g?...

Unfortunately yes, it's because i've been a developer that i never want to host another server. (will i host another server? again, unfortunately yes)

A music tip for everyone already in Vancouver for @atmosphereconf.org. Tonight there is a show by @tuneyards.bsky.social and Kassa Overall. It is going to be great. I'll be there! www.ticketweb.ca/event/tune-y...

Guys, I have animations! And stickers! And a risky live demo that has >20% chance of failure!

Oh ffs

It's been a minute! New version of @grain.social is here just in time for #atmosphereconf. Bunch of new features: stories, location tags, and feeds! Tag your conference adventures with #atmosphereconf and click the pin to keep the feed in your sidebar. grain.social grain.social/hashtags/atm...

Announcing: keytrace.dev Take your @bsky.app / @atproto.com account and connect it to your other accounts around the internet. Keytrace cryptographically verifies your connected accounts so other social apps can trust the data. Learn more: keytrace.dev/blog/introdu...

Big screen for big choices

New version of @grain.social is out. Trying some new things! Feeds, stories, location tags, new layout. Rewrote everything for the ground up using some new patterns I’m working on. TLDR it’s all just Node.js, @svelte.dev and a special @vite.dev appview plugin.

0.9.0 is out to testers ahead of a big announcement at #ATmosphereConf! 👀

Almost every day someone writes in on how they can donate/support the site, so I set up a Ko-fi page. ko-fi.com/enclosehorse Completely optional/zero obligation.

Blacksky is excited to announce Acorn, a platform for growing and managing communities on decentralized infrastructure. blackskyweb.xyz/introducing-...

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

btw it is true that youtube smartly responded to all the grammarly stuff by inviting me to their new likeness detection beta -- i just signed up! it will take a few days to process but dying to know how well it works

This is a fun looking lil project github.com/bribot/LilyG...

PSA for Atmosphere Conf attendees. It you normally suffer from pollen and hay fever, might be time to look at your antihistamines.

Who’s going to #ATmosphereConf? 👀 I’ll be there to talk to people about open source trust and safety! If you’re building something cool (or just want to chat), let’s meet up.

We're doing some really fun stuff with @svelte.dev over here at @propublica.org. Our recent Trump Administration financial disclosures and FDA generic drug databases are built on SvelteKit and DuckDB.

Under other circumstances this is 100% a trip I would have loved to take (esp to hang out with Teon)

Okay, so i know some of you don't like liquid glass. But like, I need you to upgrade to iOS 26. Please do it so you don't get pwnd. techcrunch.com/2026/03/23/s...

To celebrate something-or-other, I created a retro CRT using only vanilla CSS! 📺 codepen.io/ivorjetski/p... No images. No JavaScript. No SASS. Fully turn-off-and-on-able! Also a documentary about the making of it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdNH... @CodePen #css #cssart #cssonly #frontend

I'm looking for excellent Svelte / SvelteKit contractors in the US with current availability. If that's you, slide into my DMs or email me at [email protected].

Are you headed to @atmosphereconf.org? Our Head of Product @julietshen.bsky.social and our Community Manager @cassidyjames.com will be goosing off this week and into the weekend! Catch ROOST's talk on Coop, our OSS review tool, on Sunday: atmosphereconf.org/event/0Qq9NlZ #ATmosphereConf

if you are (or have ever been) a financial supporter of microcosm, can i send you a few questions? (last-minute research for my talk)

reminder @atproto.la meetup tonight! The Preserve! Hollywood! smokesignal.events/did:plc:h3wp... I'll be there!

Trust & Safety and community labeler folks attending the ATmosphereConf: Is there any appetite for some sort of informal meetup / sidebar on Thursday or Friday afternoon / early evening to chat best practices, threat actors, policies, and trade-offs?

If you know how to hack, but not how to hustle -- find someone who does; there are more of them than there are of you.

@anamariecox.bsky.social I have obnoxious nerd questions :D What publishing stack are you using out of curiosity? I'm interested partly cause I'm interested in how to get posts index/listed by ATProto apps, and what the plugin ecosystem needs to look like.

“there has been zero systematic progress over the past 30 years in making startups more likely to survive.” Looking at frameworks around startup development that don’t appear to change any of the success metrics.

yall know that @stream.place is the only streaming platform that allows you to update copyright information through the feed? kinda weird that it hasn't happened in the 15 years on any other streaming platforms before now, until you remember how many streaming platforms sell their "users"

i continue to believe that atproto is the current only viable way for social media creators to own their work i'll probably talk about it at next year's #ATmospherecon 😉

"Ripping Up Brutalist Plazas May Be the Key to Saving Brutalist Architecture," @kristoncapps.bsky.social launching a frontal assault on BlueSky -- www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Selling primarily based on a protocol to consumers is a losing battle. Consumers care about products and features and what they do for them directly. But talking about protocols is useful to the right audience.

And here it is with spaces for text so you can use it as a meme template:

heh. the FFI tax remain undefeated www.openui.com/blog/rust-wa... Also wild to see how many different entrants there are into the "we generate react apps based on prompts" space

The pinnacle of design when I was coming up v3.2advanced.com

Well this is amazing! Orta just went out and did the thing. Identity linking with ATProto, with the attested claims published into your PDS.

Oh look, the @atmosphereconf.org site not only uses Astro, it's using two of my packages.

On Friday 3/27, I’ll be participating in a half-day @knightcolumbia.org event —“Can Middleware Save Social Media?”—at @pressclubdc.bsky.social in D.C. and online. We’ll explore the future of middleware as a tool that could reshape social media and #freespeech online. RSVP: bit.ly/3P3Uf6M

Yikes.

SQLite support is done. AIP dependency is gone. Now I'm adding support for external auth via WASM plugins. @bmann.ca knows what this is for, cuz it was his idea. 😎 #atproto
