It was nice while it lasted. The Hugfairy Account has been suspended and at the moment I don’t think appealing it makes sense as the spam behaviour is part of the bot. I may make other such bots in the future maybe with some more hard restrictions though. Thanks, and a big hug to everyone 🫂

Now that we have blue checks, when do we get AskPerplexity

So who will verify me

So Domain Verification will just become a way for people to use their domains as usernames, and actual verification is the blue tick. And as of now we don’t know how less popular uses like myself would get verified by BlueSky

Thank you @hugfairy.bsky.social

Much appreciated!

Look what I found today

Dear #atproto devs I love you but we sometimes the docs are a complicated mess for us normie web devs. So as a proud web dev I decided to make a guide in simple words on how to Implement ATProto OAuth ATProto OAuth Quickstart Guide whtwnd.com/typonomy.bsk...

yes please yell at me *after* we fuck up, or maybe if you notice the car has been steered off the road. I feel like we're driving down the highway between the lines right now and people are in the backseat yelling "STAY ON THE ROAD! WATCH OUT!"

Imagine having a tea with a Python script – comforting, a little confusing, yet undeniably engaging. blueskyroast.com/roast/haider...

Just published a new update to my npm package next-goatcounter. This package allows easier integration of GoatCounter (open source web analytics) into any NextJS project. My recent update added components to display Page View count easily. npmjs.com/package/next-goatcounter

Hey @samuel.bsky.team , I can’t seem to post / reply using desktop web browser. It allows me to type 6-7 letters and then stops. It also shows TIP: No post is focused

“The state of most social platforms right now is that users are locked in and developers are locked out. We want to build something that makes sure users have the freedom to move and developers have the freedom to build.” — @jay.bsky.team in @nytimes.com gift link:

Trying something new with @hugfairy.bsky.social . Mention #ineedahug anywhere to receive an anonymous hug.

Should be fixed for now but seems like I will be hitting @vercel.com ‘s limits soon. Will need to do some infra changes soon

Well, @hugfairy.bsky.social seems to be down because of some sort of rate limits. Will fix it later today

Hugfairy Bot is gaining some traction 👀 @hugfairy.bsky.social

Anyone else having problems writing posts on desktop? “Tip: No post is focused”

Got my BlueSky link on my profile

Psst, if you want to add a @bsky.app share button on your website you can do it with this URL: `https://bsky.app/intent/compose?text=Hello%20World`

hi to all old friends from twitter! i want to show you this thing: atproto-browser.vercel.app. put your bluesky handle in it and explore :) this should give you some intuition about how this place works under the hood. happy to answer any questions about it!

Surprised how popular @yearprogress.bsky.social is

Fixed @yearprogress.bsky.social as well 😄

Next up. Fixing @yearprogress.bsky.social

Sending *anonymous* hugs to all my favourite people

Migrated @hugfairy.bsky.social to OAuth and latest libraries. Fixed a weird EOL issue as well. Should be working perfectly now!!! Do try it

Anyone setup @atproto/oauth-client-node with NextJS? Ideally without a database. I have a simple user case where I just need to establish the identity of a user, not do any actions on their behalf. I was able to setup the client package but that is a bit insecure for my use case

Does anyone else face the “TIP: No post is focused” bug on desktop ? I can’t reply or write new posts from desktop

Looking at the BlueSky repository for an idea that I am working on and found something interesting. The embed post functionality generates the HTML on the client side, and has to be kept in sync at two different places.

If you see this, post a bridge

Spreading the word on Twitter

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,340!

Is it me only or do images (including profile pictures) take a lot of time to load for everyone. @pfrazee.com ?
