@bookhive.buzz was down for 30 minutes last night, and resolved in 1 minute with this change: github.com/nperez0111/b... TL;DR: perf locally != perf in a VM on a hard drive 🧵

What LLM subscriptions does everyone use? I'm a bit afraid of lock-in to a specific model or provider, given how fast the field moves. But maybe I'm over thinking a month by month subscription

We made it to 100 stars on GitHub, thanks everyone!

I guess now is an appropriate time to announce that my talk at #ATmosphereConf around the data design philosophy behind @bookhive.buzz has been accepted! It's an honor to be invited, and would love to see you all in person!

Migrated my Goodreads profile to @bookhive.buzz. There were minor issues with custom shelves missing read status and some books missing, but otherwise import went smooth. Social reading is a perfect use case for #atproto, huge thanks to @nickthesick.com for building it 📚🐝

I've been wanting to do this for a while, open protocol, open data! You can now see all of the books in the hive, all books that users have added to their library, and buzzes about books (no one seems to use it haha) My goal has always been data portability and transparency, so I'm happy!

A #localfirst suite of apps! with documents, spreadsheets, email, calendar, chat, video calls, and more! @nextgraph.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy @ironcalc.com BlockNote AnanasTeknik, Ontola, @xwikisas.bsky.social @cryptpad.org @uradotdesign.bsky.social DanubeTech XRFragments and NLnet elfaconsortium.eu

Working on a new version of the E2EE protocol for synchronizing document updates between users. This one does compaction of documents with snapshots made by clients. Should make E2EE documents much smaller, and faster to sync

Yep, I'm going to call it a day now:

@yed.bsky.social and @nickthesick.com presenting BlockNote, ProseMirror and Yjs

A written version of the FOSDEM 2026 talk on @teleportal.tools: pckt.blog/b/nick-the-s... First time blogging on @pckt.blog, looks fantastic!

Catch the FOSDEM talk at: fosdem.org/2026/schedul... Docs are at teleportal.tools

So happy to see that my #FOSDEM talks have been uploaded: 1. What's new in BlockNote: fosdem.org/2026/schedul... 2. Y.js 14, BlockNote & Prosemirror: fosdem.org/2026/schedul... 3. Teleportal sync server: fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

So many shoutouts to BlockNote, it’s really cool to get the recognition for the work we’ve been doing. Also completed the 1st presentation of 3 for #FOSDEM

Very excited to be presenting about my work on BlockNote & Teleportal

@atprotocol.dev FYI, I cannot sign up for publications, presumably because I'm on a selfhosted PDS?

Been preparing #FOSDEM presentations the past couple of days. And man, is it a different mindset than just building stuff

I made stickers for both of my side-projects: @bookhive.buzz the ATProto Goodreads alternative @teleportal.tools a Yjs sync server framework for collaborative editing documents in real time Will be at #FOSDEM doing 2 presentations for my day job at blocknote.org and 1 for @teleportal.tools

I've just finished writing up the docs website for my Y.js sync server project, and made it a bluesky account Check it out at: teleportal.tools

This, is Teleportal, a Y.js sync server: - Flexible storage (with different backends) - WebSockets & HTTP + SSE - JWT token signing - Encryption at rest And, that's just the beginning. There a bunch of other packages with utilities to build a sync server framework into your app!

I’ve been heavily focusing on my Yjs sync server: Teleportal I just implemented an extendable RPC system for the protocol, which runs over WebSockets. And, it really makes you wonder, what can you do with the ability for the server to make a request to the client? An interesting thought

In 12 days from now, join the #LocalFirst and #CRDT devroom at #fosdem26 #fosdem in Brussels! @nickthesick.com @yed.bsky.social

This exactly the sort of thing I’ve been harping on with @bookhive.buzz Your lexicon is essentially a file format. Imagine a file format that didn’t have half of the data you needed to display it! And, instead had to fetch the real data, then it’s not _your file_ bsky.app/profile/book...

I don’t need nickthesick.amsterdam… I don’t need nickthesick.amsterdam���

I make a rich text editor for a living (blocknotejs.org) and cannot for the life of me understand why people care about these sorts of features so much. Every editor sucks at this because we end up having to _serialize and parse_ HTML. Exporting is always easy, but just accepting a string as input?

Huge! Happy for Popfeed to be open source

In 20 days from now, join the #LocalFirst and #CRDT devroom at #fosdem26 #fosdem in Brussels!

Hello #Local-First enthusiasts, We have great news to share with you! @fosdem.org'26 wil be hosting a full devroom dedicated entirely to local first software. We have gathered the best lineup ever, all major open source projects will be presenting! Come and join us, it is free! openlocalfirst.org

Explaining open source is very difficult sometimes. Since it is often touching philosophical concepts and ethics. So, I tried answering in a more project specific sense. Honestly at this point, I would have to consider making a project NOT Open Source. 100% of what I make is OSS

While this is really cool to have @popfeed.social have interop with the @bookhive.buzz lexicon (where popfeed only reads, not writes). I do worry about the project not being open source. And, it seems to me they are using the proprietary ISBNDB dataset, which is maybe why it can't be open sourced?

If someone made lens for lexicons. I would be mad if they didn’t call it lensicons See Cambria by Ink & Switch for more info

Exactly the sort of detail that I wanted to write in an OAuth guide!

hello all! if you’ve been tracking your plays, we made you a year-end thing. we’re not data scientists, but we tried crunching your numbers anyway. your top tracks, listening patterns, and all the stats you (probably?) didn’t know you wanted. happy new year from all of us! yearinmusic.teal.fm

These are the sorts of things I’d love to have written up somewhere

I don't know what took me so long to do a backup on @baileytownsend.dev's PDS Moover, but I finally got around to doing it. All backed up now! & of course a donation is in order for both PDS Moover and PDS Gatekeeper

Tried out this tool by @loves.brussels, looks really cool! Definitely a nice summary to share around and prove that you ATProto

I'm working on a new Y.js ↔️ ProseMirror binding, based on almost a year's worth of work that @kevinjahns.bsky.social has done. I'm so happy to see it all come together finally. I also will be addressing a number of bugs that have been around forever with the binding 😃 github.com/yjs/y-prosem...

wow - I imported my goodreads playlist to @bookhive.buzz ... And i see them on @popfeed.social 😍 atproto apps work together, pretty neat!

We're at nearly 50 submissions! If you've been debating on a proposal then this is your sign. Especially interested in proposals on private data, moderation/trust/safety, or fighting disinformation to fill some interest gap. #ATProtocol #ATmosphereConf

Thanks for supporting me on Ko-Fi @bnewbold.net It means a lot, and doubly so from you!

I hadn't tried this app out until now, it is pretty decent! it pulls in a bunch of external book metadata and book reviews, so it doesn't feel dead/empty. a bunch of AT folks are using it daily. uses granular OAuth permission scopes.

I just submitted to present at #ATmosphereConf It'd be great to be able to talk about all the things that I've thought about in regards to my project @bookhive.buzz

Does cursor just decide to completely bug out for anyone else lately? I had to restart & lost work because of it already today

There definitely needs to be some sort of community compendium, there is so much knowledge out there already, but it’s spread across so many sources: GitHub issues, code comments, reading the implementation. Would love to write up a practical guide to OAuth
