I never really got into RSS for some reason. I guess in its heyday I wasn't so online, and it just kind of passed by me.

That has been dropped too, b/c I decided I do not have time to make it perfect, since, you know, this is not a job that pays me money.
Speaking of which, I put "donation" button in the app, because I still need to keep the lights on. My first time with the donate buttons.

Just here to say that I like the design of this and the DASL pages.

Apart from more demos and fixing paper cuts, the big next step is contexts that can make tiles more powerful. This includes experimenting with putting them in chats (ร la WebXDC) and empowering them to call one another (using something like Web Intents).
If you use them, send me your demos!

No plans for account migration tool. WIP is deployed at pdsaas.xyz. is very WIP though.
The code is based on @chadtmiller.com 's single user PDS. Currently it depends heavily on Cloudflare as a backend.

Hot off the internets โ 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.

Not sure about docs. I did get it all working on fly.io, if that's of interest.

Soft launching my Keybase on atproto alpha: @keytrace.dev
Basically the identity verification system from keybase/keyoxide but storing the identity claims on your registry and signing them based on keys in mine.
It is not focused on PGP, but on making it possible for social apps to handle identity

I've just added social media interaction displays to my micro posts. Likes and comments from Bluesky and the Fediverse will now appear directly on my site.
If the same comment appears on multiple platforms, it will be merged using Levenshtein distance.

I remember in the past when they were in the super bowl. A coworker was saying "I love the northwest" in reference to the fact that there was not a huge, happy riot after winning.
In The Stranger they said something like "please do not smash cars and windows in the event of winning."

The full idea is a PDS deployable via GUI (no code). Could be nice for say, an organization, because you get more security of your own content, plus federation with the wider Bluesky world, and possibly publishing to multiple destinations, e.g. the web + bluesky, with PDS as source of truth.

Kind of surprised no one has really been taking advantage of this to sign and validate things since the user can hold the private key and you can prove your identity in the atmosphere signed it.
Something like a hardware device, mobile app or even a web app to validate a claim would be cool to see

we've rolled out some small changes to the DID PLC directory which make it possible to register new key types as verificationMethod entries, for non-atproto use cases.
(this does not impact the PLC rotation key mechanism itself; that is still limited to P-256 and K-256)
have fun building on PLC!
