Oh that’s interesting, now that some newer brands have seen a lot of success embracing more premium minimalism in their products/stores, that might be translating to premium brands on the web too πŸ€”

An open-spec recommendations / expert-id system would make algorithmic ranking for trustworthiness using pay to win / SEO spam so much harder if search was re-aligned to make use of it. Loved the ideas in this talk.

With all the innovation happening around ATProto at the moment I’m excited by the backlinks / comments concepts, already seeing comment sections via Bluesky scripts pop up on npm.

Amazing talk, thanks!

What gif pops up when you type in your name?

I use the mute settings for this, you can mute words for a fixed time (up to 30 days) or forever πŸ™Œ

Design and tech twitter acolyte, I barely ever posted but keeping up with everyone, liking stuff and sharing articles / insights offline was my shy-kid way of being part of the scene. Feel free to follow me back, I’m making more effort to avoid just hitting β€œlike” here πŸ˜…

Had a go at working with the Bluesky API, It's a little rough around the edges especially with OneOf types and quirkyness with embeds I still need to understand, but it didn't take long to get going with it.

It's been ages since social media was this open 😊

Example of Bluesky Likes to RSS feed with a Next.js API route Example of Bluesky Likes to RSS feed with a Next.js API route - bluesky-likes.xml.tsx

Got an update πŸ™Œ
I have a hacky version working using IFTTT to read an RSS feed generated on-demand with an api route in next.js.

It logs in with an app password, gathers all of the account's likes, and then formats and outputs them to XML. Still tweaking the script but... it's something 😁

Great points here. There was a really fun talk at ServerlessDays Cardiff this year from Sarah Hamilton and @lukehedger.bsky.social that went over a similar theme; bugs are inevitable, so putting an emphasis on observability to catch those bugs and fix them is worth more long term than 100% coverage.

πŸ’― sometimes the best way out for me without making things worse is to just stash the work, reset back to a good commit, and apply the stash.

Resolving issues with arcane git magic isn’t worth the hassle, conflicts, etc when there’s work to get done 🫠
