Researchers: Aside from moderation and safety features, what would you want in a researcher-focused social app? Obviously a feed of shared papers, but what else?
We could make our own bsky client that does this by default? Maybe?

I hadn't tried this app out until now, it is pretty decent!
it pulls in a bunch of external book metadata and book reviews, so it doesn't feel dead/empty. a bunch of AT folks are using it daily. uses granular OAuth permission scopes.

Two new features:
Now, you can track progress on books you are currently reading. I'm using a similar shape to @popfeed.social's book progress tracking, which should make it easier to inter-op in the future.
We've also implemented proper OAuth scopes, which means minimal permissions to your data!

huge dispatch response for this right now in downtown Seattle. I didn't see any smoke or fire from the street, but it was dark and very windy

Really love these old school DL1414t displays!
The datasheet is convoluted — and in some places plain wrong — but when it finally works they're a delight to look at.

In my excitement at finally seeing these Tibetan Snowcocks, I took neither a good photo nor a video! This was up at 17,000 ft with Gokyo Lake below and Everest somewhere in the background!

i think the ability to treat microblogging as a public group chat and yap 50+ posts per day consistently is actually significantly rarer than being attractive enough for short form video

My crazy idea to cram all of the AT Protocol into a single deployable container. Works with SQLite, Postgres and potentially more data stores in the future. Steps are literally deploy container -> import your lexicons -> backfill -> build your app with the GraphQL APIs.

'tap' is a big deal for backend devs!
it gives you more of the benefits of AT, and makes the interface simpler at the same time.
it makes backfill easy enough that you can re-index the network as part of your ops workflow. handles re-synchronization so you never miss a record event...
