A chart showing the usage patterns of the word 'happy' on bluesky over the past two weeks

Looks like some people had a good Sunday :)

Here's a little sneak peak from a new feature I've been working on for dopplersky.com. This chart shows the usage of the word 'happy' on Bluesky over the past two weeks.

It's been a couple weeks since I shipped the handle autocomplete update for dopplersky.com, overall traffic remained flat but my conversion rate jumped significantly.

QoL updates can make a big difference! #buildinpublic

Yeah it’ll start showing new followers from the moment you first visited the page.

I’ve been able to retroactively calculate follower growth before, I’m just trying to figure out a scalable way to include on the site.

Thanks for the feedback! I hope it can be a useful tool for you.

Working on QoL features always makes my brain happy 🧠

I’m trying to settle on a day of the week to make my “weekly release day”. It’s arbitrary to me, but does anyone have a favorite day of the week?

Diegetic?

I got laid off and decided to start freelancing and building my own products to support myself instead of searching for a new job.

It’s been my lifelong dream to build my own company, so I’m actually really excited, but it’s also extremely daunting 😶

I'm finally getting back into the groove working on my projects especially now that they're not "side" projects 😅

I gave the dopplersky.com landing page a face-lift today and went with a new a theme (bc purple is the best color ofc)

Once I got over my fear of losing my streak, my TRMNL has been doing wonders for my productivity.

It doesn’t necessarily help me focus better, but it’s does wonders for my brain when I step away from a coding session and see the number go up.

My role model:

Now, that my pesky 9-5 is out of the picture, I’ll pouring myself into weekly updates for @dopplersky.com and some new project.

I’m also open to working with others, so if you’re looking for any development assistance, please let me know!

Stony Softworks Building Things That Matter

I recently lost my job of 3 years due to a small case of them no longer having money

It sucks to have my income cut off, but that “stable” paycheck always stopped me from betting on myself

Sooo, I’m excited to share that my new company, Stony Softworks, is officially open for business 🎉

Blessed by a black bear cub on my last day in the woods. I did not wait around to be blessed by the mama 😅

Thanks 🤠

I was on a bluesky hiatus but one way or another I found myself back here

firehose didn’t even blink 💪

Very much hoping at the Super Bowl half time show tonight that Kendrick shouts 'MUSSSTAAAAARD!' then giant mustard bottles appear and cover everything in proper English mustard and then the game has to stop and everyone is screaming because their eyes and noses sting. And then he cusses Drake again

Saying goodbye to my old handle and switching to my real name. Feels a little weird, but I wanted to make this account more personal for #ATmosphereConf and beyond

Maybe @bmann.ca could help you out 👀

They sent out an early bird sale for email subscribers yesterday. I believe the tickets should be going on sale in the coming weeks.
