If you find yourself in need of a more dev oriented ATProto feed, @byarielm.fyi is maintaining one.

If you are curious about what atproto is, what a PDS is, or what moving to a new PDS looks like. This may be a good starting place for you. This is my attempt at explaining some of the basics of Bluesky(atproto) in a less technical way.

THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING

you become so much more of a light mode andy when you start going outside

Recently there has been a lot of dividing & heated discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol. Yesterday at the Social Web CG meeting, I proposed releasing a statement on this discourse, you can read the full statement here: github.com/swicg/genera... #activitypub #atprotocol #atproto #SocialWeb

it's kind of funny that making an atproto index (i now refuse to call them appviews) is a bit like making a microservice, except all the other microservices are built by completely different organizations.

New blog post on how Streamplace indexes ATProto, with my take on some PDS additions we could make to improve the ecosystem!

okay so im trying something, so this is a custom feed that hydrates its own content, without relying on any appview to display it. for every new post that appears in the feed, it tracks its interactions to provide an independent and (best effort) hydrated getFeed and getPostThread apis

I've been paying for Bridgy Fed myself, out of pocket, since the beginning. I'm happy to, and I'll continue to, but it's not cheap. We have big ideas and plans for the future, and funding is our main blocker. Please help if you can!

Q: would atproto people be interested in language that compiles to a lexicon but is less verbose to write, like this: uh #atproto or something not sure how to put this post into the feeds that people use.

"a functional programmer and an imperative programmer walk into a bar. they spend the next 400 posts arguing about what counts as a side effect"

it really throws me off that all the BEAM languages are all imperative

i should make another github account

have people here used anytype? how do people feel about it?

Hello! A little video about Forth. More to come ?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ4n...

i've finally got a new blogpost out!! this one talks about modern CSS, it's new features, and practical real world uses as usual, the visuals are css-only and have lots of cool interactivity and easter eggs :3 have fun! lyra.horse/blog/2025/08...

what's a good, minimal dependency, http client library for rust?

languages are the mind-killer. languages are the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my languages. I will permit them to pass over me and through me. Where the languages have gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

there is no safe language. there is no compiled language. there is no dynamically-typed language. its all powder to my eyes, for they seek only the truth.

misskey doesn't do this btw!

rollerskating is hard

i've always used green for work but this is too much green

sorry Rush Hour will have to wait, i just remembered Mr. Robot exists and i haven't seen it

we love to see it

idk if people know this but the tangled dot sh appview is served off a single sqlite db on a 1 cpu 2 gb vps.

if you think i've been productive in my absence from bluesky think again. i'm mostly been watching youtube video essay, and right now i'm watching Oldboy

deal. let's go: tangled.sh/@pdsls.dev/p...

it's been a minute, but cooking takes time! 🥘 we've got a neat collection of updates for you, so let's dive in! most important of all: knots are now independent of appviews! the knot secret is gone, in favor of simply declaring your owner + a knot record in your PDS. ✨ decentralization ✨

i actually dont know what to say just play it lmao

a part of atproto that has been a little lost to me; where do the relays/firehoses get the list of pdses to pull from?

i think nostr discord could work well.

i complain about bsky a lot so it's worth saying i'm very glad it exists and i hope the team can sustain their investment in atproto for a while

the fact that "is modifying the content of a page on your own computer copyright infringement?" is even being considered is enough proof that copyright is a busted system.

an idea that i had that you should steal: since theoretically most appviews are very simple, you could write a program that takes in a bunch of lexicon definitions and automatically spins up sqlite with a correct schema and consumes from the firehose to populate it.

For my money, building the tools and SDKs for building app views is where the valuable work is. Making it easy to backfill and sync, then query the data set, would really take the anxiety out of the decentralization story.

question for the web developers i know: say i wanted to build something like notes.andymatuschak.org, do you think this is something i can build with vanilla HTML/JS or does this level of interactivity warrant a framework?

🤏 i'm so close to just giving up on oauth entirely, long live app passwords
