I mentioned a few days ago how my site content is now mostly stored in my PDS. I wrote a leaflet going a little more into detail on my setup.

#devlog Yesterday I updated the docs for factoring out of production code. github.com/substrate-sy...

Was thinking the same thing. Like every other post is a killer, very technical article. I can't keep up.

What are ways for ATProto apps to interop beyond sharing Lexicons?

🧵 Could Bitchat have 5x the range and 100x the throughput for the same power expenditure? I explored how Wi-Fi Aware could improve the reliability and throughput of Bitchat and mobile ad-hoc networks in the absence of internet connectivity. #bitchat 👇

For an ATProto application, what's the best strategy to see if your friends(mutuals) have the same collection in their PDS, like xyz.statusphere.status? Does anyone know any projects doing this currently that I could check out?

@expede.wtf, together with @patternist.xyz will be talking about @automerge.org , Keyhive, Beelay, and their E2EE sync protocol. Come and learn about access control in a local first and encrypted setting, and about version control, the feature they are working on. openlocalfirst.org/schedules/#4...

Hello world. I heard you like checkboxes. github.com/substrate-sy... See the demo page. You can check some boxes. #devlog

I think this is far enough along to post about now pegasus, a pds implementation in ocaml, ~feature parity with the bluesky pds (minus app passwords because those are gross) repo includes various other atproto-relevant libraries in ocaml for interested sickos tangled.org/futur.blue/p...

switching your atproto app to an indie relay has had some downsides for most of this year, bc indies have been running different (newer) code than bsky.network, and there have been some bugs. but the biggest bugs seem resolved now, and bsky.network will run the same newer code soon!

#devlog Task #1 for the day, a better example page for `exif`. github.com/substrate-sy...

#devlog github.com/substrate-sy... Added an export to just remove all exif data.

Using an age keyserver as a demo, this article demonstrates how to add a transparency log to a centralized service step-by-step. We use Tessera for the tlog, VRFs for privacy, and the Witness Network. It all takes just 500 lines to integrate! The result of years of work making tlogs accessible.

It's done. I can't believe it's finally done. I've been working on this in mostly secret for so long, and I'm so excited to share it with y'all!

One more thing today. github.com/substrate-sy... #devlog

Do people know or care what c2pa is? I like the idea of cryptographic proofs of provenance, I'm not crazy about how confusing the implementation is. c2pa.org

Part two of our "Building In Public" series on the design of the recurring payments feature is out. With it, we exploring some of the user stories that shape this set of features and explain the thinking behind them. #BuildingInPublic #ATProtocol

Hello again, world.

ok. I'm maybe going to write down things I learn about bluesky / AT protocol. nichoth.github.io/atrecipes/ I would do this as a "leaflet", but I did not see an obvious way to connect it to git/Github, which is something that I want. Having a local copy is important. #devlog

The Railway + tap template seems to be working. Thanks @baileytownsend.dev . its a totally declarative way of consuming + filtering the firehose. marvins-guide.leaflet.pub/3m7ttuppfzc2...

@jackvalinsky.com RE SSB bsky.app/profile/jack...

When we were planning the August edition of @protocolsforpublishers.com we knew that being in the US wasn’t going to work for a lot of people. @chadkoh.com is running with it & now has set a date for London in early February.

@nekomimi.pet I like your article, nekomimi.leaflet.pub/3m6pcklmvt222 It reminds me of some thoughts I had too -- nichoth.com/projects/dev...

@chadtmiller.com I like what you're doing with @grain.social . Making a photo-centric app has been on my todo list for a long time, since the SSB days, actually.

#devlog Lex is building custom lexicons in addition to bluesky ones now. Tomorrow will be all about using `tap` I think. github.com/bluesky-soci...

Wrote a getting started guide for Tap tonight! The new tool from Bluesky to backfill records and track future ones easier. Includes install directions, some explanation of what it does and how to configure it as well to help you get started.

Lets all read some EXIF data… github.com/substrate-sy... #devlog

ROOST stands for Robust Open Online Safety Tools, delivering great moderation tooling for all, rather than everyone needing to build their own from scratch. They’ve shipped their roadmap, more details below.

Meet the Bluesky DevRel team, @alex.bsky.team & @jimray.bsky.team, who will be delivering two half day workshops as part of our pre-conference events.

I've been yapping about attestations and verifiable credentials for a while now and with today's launch of @atprotofans.com, we can tie it all together in an actual product that every-day people can use. Read the technical deep-dive for the nitty-gritty details.

This is Deciduous It makes it so that an LLM realizes wtf is going on. It does this by keeping a DAG of all choices, reasoning, outcomes, goals, etc & Claude knows how to query + use it It has tools to use this "memory" to solve problems better It also comes w/a web viewer to see how it flows

And an engineering role to be announced shortly 👀

In Seattle, I also learned we were part of a community. I met the builders of this new world: @buildwithtori.com and @reedharmeyer.bsky.social, @rude1.blacksky.team, @seabass.bsky.social, @devingaffney.com, @erlend.sh, @iame.li, @schlage.town and @awarm.space rhosf.leaflet.pub/3m7kwii6nws2...
