... and cat fancier extraordinaire

Having fun with these with my LinkedIn network but realise I haven't shared this with my #Atmosphere 🌀 pals. I offer free Founder's Clinic (45m, 90m) and Career Lab (45m) sessions to help startup founders and early-career designers figure out design and product problems. → cal.com/renderghost

“Not simply to be open, but to make openness feel inevitable.” Last Year, I Wrote About Podcasts. This Year, I Went In Search of Them. A blog post based on my talk from AtmosphereConf.

I just set up a monthly €10 donation to @eurosky.social. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product. 1,000 of us donating €10/month could make EU-based social network infrastructure sustainable. Join me: fund.eurosky.tech #DigitalSovereignty

I'm so curious to see if the @bsky.app / @standard.site integration has meant a bump in reads, recommendations, subscriptions on docs and publications? @leaflet.pub @offprint.app @pckt.blog seeing anything you're able to share?

Okay I’ve been too on-the-fence about this for too long. I’ve tolerated too much already but #Spotify recommending Kanye West’s love song to Nazis and H*tier, with the KKK cover art is too much. What the fuck?

Its about interoperability babes 👉👌

Cooking for a friend and stalking @quillmatiq.com posts for ideas. Would so help my culinary plagiarism along if man posted recipes!! We can just steal things 🫶

It is often said that a “wave” or “tsunami” of technological change is heading our way. These metaphors are powerful because they shape our sense of what is reasonable, and what is unreasonable. What does AI as a "wave" imply is a reasonable course of action? (1/...)

Bluesky growing and appealing to more types of people is good for all of us. Even if some of those users are users you don't like, or wish weren't here. I so strongly believe that

Please sort yourselves out. Thank you.

Fantastic read by @alex.mcroberts.me that's full to the brim of good ideas. "Prototypes are how curiosity meets the keyboard." "Speed is largely solved. Judgment and experimentation are not." alexmcroberts.leaflet.pub/3mmzzgrkhi22j

Users should not need to care about this - the friction is high. “If it’s the last account I need, why do I get multiple following lists and follower lists” I mean, I get it. I understand it. But explaining this to other people who just want an online experience to connect with others? Too much!

What’s tougher is explaining AT Proto lets you store all your data for everywhere “in one place”, and simultaneously you can have multiple separate “contact lists” for everything that uses AT Proto, or the same contact list depending on the app and how it’s built.

feeling pretty good today, I hope you are too 🫶

Copy everything! Let good ideas spread like germs. Evolve the atmosphere 🙌 Also follow me on @sifa.id obvs 🙌

Working on setting up my child care blog on @offprint.app, which finally feels like a good fit for my writing and doesn't require me to publish at a loss like other platforms.

#ATproto devs. Please read this post and digest it. This is your real audience. Jenny is a talented artist with a deep history and roots in the punk culture. She's very active online. She wants to share her art with her community. She does not care about tech like devs do.

Verify me daddy

It me

me… looking at all the new publication / subscribe buttons on bsky today

My ForYou is **almost entirely** people sharing their @standard.site pubs. This is a huge day for the #Atmosphere 🌀

Now we're contemplating the work involved to make opensource.googleblog.com compatible with @standard.site

We added our own special standard.site embed block in Leaflet too — making linked posts nicer isn't just for Bluesky! Many ideas above, like richer social context around who shared a post, we can also do in Leaflet. We can make better publishing & reading experiences across the whole ecosystem!

okay, introducing standard.horse! an editor for simple @standard.site publications if you've hand-rolled your standard.site blog, this provides a simple markdown editor and publication management interface

Sehr cool 👌

Look at these gorgeous @offprint.app buttons

can’t wait for the day people stop using bsky as solely a crossposting platform if you cross post without being present just know people will follow you, and lose interest in your content (if you’re not a giant influencer). most want to engage with *you* build a community not a billboard

No you don't have to migrate your CMS. No you don't have to put your full content on protocol (though we should talk about that too). But you can get better branding, publish dates on your link cards (fight context collapse!), and better paths to subscriptions, donations, etc. It's a no-brainer.

I discovered @offprint.app recently and subscibed to it, frankly this is so good for people who love to write long text or articles and share them on #Bluesky. It feels so natural & I don't think there is a need anymore to go to #substack.

I'm the featured profile on @sifa.id professional network today 🎊 which for the uninitiated means I'm the Internet's #EmployeeOfTheMonth → sifa.id/p/renderg.host

So was Twitter. So was Facebook. None turned bad *because* they got bigger. They changed because of what was woven into their fabric from the start. Scale alone didn't corrupt these platforms. It exposes design choices that were always present, just waiting to play out. Design determines destiny.

I’m too old to be this excited

you are not beating the allegations dude

Spreadshirt rejected my shirt design 😔

Add webflow to the get absolutely fucked pile then webflow.com/blog/evolvin...

SIKE, we’ve been acquired by bending spoons. It’s now $40/mo to use squire and you can have 10 quests in your backlog. For more quests we now have Squire Plus which is in invite only private beta. This is presented as good news.

A client of mine (multi-national energy provider) had a password rule specifying “min 12 chars” and “no chars from your email address allowed”. My email then was my full name, which left me with about 6 usable letters. They accepted “U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U” no problem though.
