What if a browser could navigate #ATProto DIDs and 🦋 Bluesky handles? Made a little prototype of Aura, a browser that can navigate between standard websites (🌐), Bluesky handles (@), and permanent DIDs, resolving them all in the same address bar.

Any chance you're using an "app password" to log in?
Somebody should def build this
Logged on on a holiday and caught blueskyism. pray for me
All tucked in, but at what cost
go that* far
I didn't go far for the bit
ohhhh damn that's good
"I use http" no you use fetch
Everybody who claims they they "use HTTP" but don't do it like this is a phoney github.com/pfrazee/http...
Pwn your base like it’s on hoth
Write go like Shakespeare doth

Zero shade from our end. I had one or two calls after everything started up, and things were clearly insane over there
the third place is back
you bet!
fml it was jg but my heart was in the right place
call jd wentworth
Reminder that in the first year of Bluesky's development I put on my "best of 90s" playlist and was admonished for turning on dad rock
We are facing it, yes. I won't share our mitigation plans just yet, since I don't want to give any information, but people should know to be very careful about DMs. People get scammed, and then their compromised accounts are used to scam their network. It's rough.
Oh yall got a whole plutoid bot spam ring going don’t you
Yikes
Finally, figured out how to bring this gem of an experience to a modern machine and you can run it while you work! #madewithgodot #dvdlogo #gamedev #indiedev
Yabba Dabba Do Not Resucitate
Both, really
Ahh sick
🍞
sign me up for a studio 60 style overdramatization that pisses off every nerd
That's a shame, Nasty Nancy was my top waifu
Her name has been typoed as Jay Grabber before and it makes me laugh every time
Immediately after putting into prod, start on a version that blends like count with social graph, then curate the default set of people that show up for new users. Collaborative filtering only works with curated inputs
damn 90 minutes wait for another banger, this site is dead
yeah I bet we'd be game for that
What's Hot was blursed. It was the exact right call because it created a great game for everybody, but it had no defenses against game abuse and that's how you get summer of 2023
I'm so glad to hear that!
We never stopped walking and talking, even when we were coding
Prior to Bluesky, I had done a bunch of decentralization projects, and I was very used to folks checking out the project and then ditching. I had a moment of complete shock when I noticed somebody come back a *second week*. Woah
It was wild
Nope, javascript was never really an option IMO
Yes - the larger the codebase, the more important the type system is
Why do you say javascript is better? We found static type checking extremely useful for reducing bugs and making refactors easier
bsky.app/profile/hail...
The early versions of the protocol signed transactions on the client, so we wanted the code reuse. That got dropped about 2/3 of the way in
That’s exactly what it is. It’s a fast response behavior that gives mods time to investigate after an automatic trigger.
My game "Replicube": Code, Logic, and Math never looked so TASTY🍉 25% off on Steam right now to celebrate back to school! s.team/a/3401490
It's so realistic @mmasnick.bsky.social
(This isn't her first album but feels like a big moment for her to solidify her staying power)
New Ava Max album is so good. I've been a fan of her singles for a while and I'm so excited to see her put out another album that's just as fun to listen to as her other stuff is
That's a reasonable concern, but I honestly don't think corrections in replies are overly effective compared to a community notes system, and the painpoint of garbage replies is higher than the downside of lack of control
pretty much yeah
oh you dont even need to hide the reply first. blocks detach all past conversations with the person
That's basically what blocks do
It wasn't a technical constraint, we did it intentionally. Our logic is that OP is the one with jurisdiction over the thread
who is this. why are you in my feed
It says that sometimes replies are off topic, toxic, spammy, or otherwise in bad faith, and that it's good to have tools to deal with that
That might be accurate, yeah
It's not anti social to choose who or what you want to engage with
I mean, that sucks, so point noted But fwiw if they block you, they can't reply to your posts, and any previous replies they make are detached from your posts
I tend to find corrections in the replies provide much less positive value than the overall negative value of garbage replies
I stand by my posts. I don't stand by the replies other people post
A client could choose to do anything basically
Yeah basically, but that's kind of true... about everything
I'll run an account restoration flow by EOW
I probably shouldn't put it this way, but uh the "hide reply for everyone" button feels great to press. You decide what your posts are a platform for
(btw dame's post is a joke too)
I never want to have an AI that generates posts for me, but I wouldn't mind a button that automatically replies to my own flops with this
yeah we know about this, I dont know if the app team has a fix yet but they did get it scheduled
Another banger
we have algorithmic choice on atproto you're not forced to hear from the people with the most followers you can choose to unfollow or block the accounts that stress you out it's okay to actively filter out doom politics it's okay to be concerned about you
That's just snackies
Important update, lunch party is no longer weird
oh great another one of daniel's lunch parties
I'm hearing "go more crazy with it paul" and "no bad ideas, paul"
Dinner party: fancy Lunch party: weird Brunch: breakfast party
I spoke with @mmasnick.bsky.social who wrote the paper that inspired the creation of bsky (he's now on their board of directors) about the development of @blackskyweb.xyz these last 2.5 yrs. We talk about Blacksky stealing market share from bsky (😉), content moderation, and all the stuff we ship 🚢
I suspect it's the dev build
oh sick we get a buff where we get free discarded communities
lol great we apparently do not have correct image sizing. so, ups and downs here at the office
Eyy we finally have one billion users (the card game)
Bluesky's reference sync1.1 relay will run on fairly minimal hardware, but rsky-relay on a tiny GCP E2 Small (2GB/1 shared core) is next level this is a great guide!
The time pressure and spooky factor is great - the question to me is whether doing the jigsaw via game controls is fun. If it's not, you might try other kinds of puzzles, like nonograms or word jumbles
eyyy
we had a debate about whether this was good marketing or not the first ever social network where your account can be literally, physically stolen
(waits)
really enjoying the premise you're rolling with here
no it doesnt
it might just work
haha okay I was super unsure, my b
sorry I'll be serious all the time in the future
by law, yes
I was cooking
I need to get back into diagramming my technical points
CORS issues are often a side effect of network failures. Are they able to open shaggymane.us-west.host.bsky.network ?
I'm sorry, I dont
leaflet.pub/discover page is pretty cool. scrolling through, finding a publication, then clicking the writer to see how many of my bsky peeps follow the author is a baller vibe check
finally wrote a short post about how the "spatial feed" works in Aurora! the spatial feed shows you posts, in real-time, from the neighborhood you're looking at. it's a brand new kind of discovery interface!
Feels like one of those newsdays where a great riffing opportunity is lost in the volume of weird
