GitHub - MasterJ93/ATProtoKit at 0.32.0
A straightforward solution for using the AT Protocol and Bluesky, written in Swift. - GitHub - MasterJ93/ATProtoKit at 0.32.0
github.com
My #Swiftlang #ATProto API library, ATProtoKit, has been updated to version 0.32.0.
This ended up becoming a much smaller update than originally intended. It’s now been reduced to some tweaks and removals, such as adding new public initializers, as well as removing ATMacro.

Update on ATProtoKit.
I am slow and I am sorry.
I genuinely believed I could build the lexicon generator AND OAuth client before the end of the year. What I didn’t anticipate was how fast the Bluesky team and community was going at updating the packages.

This. It sucks that it's not used enough. 😔

Earlier yesterday, I purchased the lifetime subscription of WaniKani. So it’s official: I’m locked into learning Japanese. I can’t back down now.
This is good, though: it means a highly level of accountability for me, just like how the donations are a form of accountability for ATProtoKit.

Hmm… as much as I thought I’ve made a ton of progress with ATProtoKit, I understand that it’s still fundamentally flawed. There are still a *ton* of holes and confusion surrounding its use, especially when it comes to non-Bluesky use.

One of the reasons why I literally do so much in terms of my goals to the point of... well, pushing myself too hard, is because I'm not very good at asking others for help.

I woke up with 201 STARS in this project!
Thank you very much for this. Thanks to you, this goal has been completed!
I will continue to work on this project going forward. 🥰

If I were to be in a Swift conference (that is, as a speaker), and if that conference was either in the US or the UK, I don't think they would want me in there:
- The US has become too hostile (social media checks sound so stupidly authoritarian).
- The UK has their stupid age verification system.

I went ahead and made a Swift package for making an SRS system similar to WaniKani (including making a review engine that feels close to WaniKani).
I intend to open source it, but I want to make a video about it as well + create a server using Vapor.

So apparently, "ATProtoFoundation" has already been used for a Swift package.
*sigh... fair enough.
I think my plan B now is to simply re-architect ATCommonTools into what I was originally going to do with (the package formally named) ATProtoFoundation.

I’m failing this from time to time. Not necessarily because I don’t know it…
… but because I keep typing the wrong Japanese letters.
This time? I accidentally used “あ” instead of “か”.
This is embarrassing… 😔

I hate app.bsky.ageassurance.
This is the reason why it's taking so long to update the lexicons this time; my brain is physically resisting this change.

Fun fact: my favourite insect is the dung beetle.
"Oh my goodness! They roll poop!"
But they're so cute... 🥺 And they're so smart, rolling it into a perfectly round ball with their back legs.

I wish GitHub had the option to send a push notification (in the official mobile app) for any comments (not just the ones you've been pinged for). I tend to miss new issues and PRs, which frustrates me greatly.

So I've been (re-)learning Japanese for the past couple of weeks.
I haven't said this before, but I have massive amount of respect for the Japanese: three alphabets, all of them more than the English alphabet, and one of them has *thousands* of characters...
