@erlend.sh got me started on RSS + AT login. Has changed since then. I dropped the rust app.
The original plan was to make a proper local-first app, so you can read things offline…

I built two new tools to help coding agents demonstrate their work beyond just running automated tests: Showboat and Rodney simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/10/...

We're excited to launch our most-requested Bridgy Fed feature: being able to interact with unbridged users!
Starting today, when people interact with you on the other side of the bridge, you'll get a notification over DM along with a "respond" link, where you can like, repost, reply, or block.

“Public skeleton” sounds bad. It sounds like everyone can see all the bones in my body which means something really bad happened

yes, exactly! I agree this is the problem with Ozone, it is designed for when you already have a) an automod system for surfacing reports and b) a large team of professional moderators. I am really excited to evaluate, glue, and recommend solutions for orgs that don't have this!

Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line.
Obsidian CLI is now available in 1.12 (early access).

Hot off the internets — there's a brand new kid on the DASL block: Web Tiles!
It's still early days, some key features are missing, and there are some rough edges, but you can publish tiles to AT and play with the idea!

Web Tiles
Tiles are composable web docs and apps that can safely be used in arbitrary contexts and assembled from multiple sources to carry out complex user interface tasks.

seeing a lot of ✨ discourse ✨
legislation around the world has been moving towards age checks, and they're far from alone in adding these checks for certain features. It's similar to what Bluesky does where certain features require age checks.

since I was already Pasadena posting earlier today I should mention that I love these events and try to attend most of them! great opportunity to hear scientists enthusiastic about their work + go to a pub on a Monday.
What do we know about the atmospheres around distant worlds? What happened to NASA's budget and what is the future of funding for space? Join us Monday, February 9th at 7:30PM for our next Astronomy on Tap.
