the point of this is: you don't need to move to sf to build something, but if you don't, you feel isolated.

density is here to get all the serious people under one roof with no BS "programming" or performative stuff we don't actually care about. 100% founder led, we do whatever we want

kinda wild having a 30,000 foot view over everything happening on this app

i can get caught up to speed in like 30 seconds

i tried messing around with rules to see if I could force it to stop saying this and it was fun to watch it think about it... before still saying it

Going to be shipping something soon that tracks narratives that are being pushed/emerging across platforms

kinda words rn for bluesky (lots of work to do though)

feel like this is a very important problem to solve - allows you to view the algo from a birds eye view

From the perspective of de-platforming, shadow banning, or de-monetization, I've started to think about PDS as a form of insurance for creators

do you think it's just an education problem though? I'd guess that those complaining about bsky don't truly understand what the atproto is, and can't delineate between the two

they know words like decentralized, custom feed, etc. without understanding the infra

Everyone took a pretty cool blog about decentralized protocols and turned it into a rant about an app

25.07.2025 13:55 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

the comments are really missing the point... bluesky β‰  AT proto and the beauty is, if you hate bluesky and what they do, there are other apps built on top of the same network that you can use.

And if you don't like those, you can create another one you do like (still using the same network)

Getting the data is the tricky part, so for other platforms we just have to ask what data they're interested in

24.07.2025 14:04 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

It's really anything market research, PR, consumer insights, etc.

Currently they use social listening tools which rely on keyword tracking. Our approach is to cluster/index as much as possible and use re-rank + LLMs to sift through the data so you don't need to configure anything custom

yeah we're making a big UX change next week

we need to split the two experiences because we have VERY different users rn: those who want an aggregated feed and those who want to analyze opinions across feeds

group one is general consumer, group two is business-focused

24.07.2025 13:57 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

sentiment distributions

that's a good point though and we should consider that

You can try it now at app.siftree.com

lot's of work to do, but you should be able to get some value from it now.

The plan is to do this across all decentralized protocols, and make a massive feed aggregator, saving everyone time scrolling across apps.

It should be easier to find content you're interested in without having to scroll for hours.

Just log in, see what's happening, read posts, and leave.
