Building stuff on top of the AT Protocol is my stress relief.

Currently, only WhiteWind and Leaflet are integrated.

For my simple use cases, @yaak.app is far better than Postman. Running Postman always felt heavy, while this feels so lightweight.

One of the huge perks of working at a software company is, when there's something about the product that bothers you personally, you can get your hands dirty and find out why it's basically impossible to get fixed

Yeah,

I actually *want* a chat bot that can help me with basic stuff immediately.

But I *also* want it to connect me to a human operator as soon as I ask.

The #1 criteria for my browser is that I trust it, and it’s secure. It’s logged into my email, Stripe account, stores my passwords and credit cards.

A browser is useful if it does all these.

These AI browsers are interesting but… with prompt injections, no way I trust them…

this sounds corny but atproto is basically the internet of json

i think the only way for atproto to succeed is for us to show what apps can do when every app sees every other app's public data, and they share an identity system. no technical or sociological argument is as convincing as seeing seamless interop and the lighthearted competitive landscape it unlocks

The new Base feature in @obsidian.md is a great addition. You can easily create collections.

imagine how much more appealing Bluesky could be to people all over the world if it could fix this single problem

In the old days, you'd occasionally run into somebody totally normal who had one utterly insane belief, like a co-worker who just causally says he thinks the sun is alive. Social media is like if we extracted all of those individual bits of madness, cooked them into a stew and ate it for every meal.

Possibly controversial take (I'm on a roll today), but… I don't want Bluesky to have support for 500-character posts. Mastodon threads have 500-char posts, and it is a noticeable difference and not necessarily in a good way. Just a bit too much to read in one comment…

This is totally the selling point. It's actually one of two: the other selling point is helping to solve the cold start problem. They're not Bluesky's users, they're members of the atmosphere.
Going to go out on a limb with this one. ATProto's biggest selling point to me as a developer was the ease of being able to build an application with a store for user data and authentication already baked in. No need for a backend.

I still think that's a big draw for me and one of its biggest pros

When people call for “censorship resistance” in social networks, I’m not sure they realise how unpleasant a social network without filtering and takedowns would be

most people don’t realize how much we clean up compared to how much slips through. watching logs of stuff getting actioned is kind of insane.

I tried downloading a folder from Google Drive that contained multiple subfolders with lots of Excel files. Google Drive zipped it (around 2 GB), and I downloaded it. But after extracting, I noticed that some subfolders were missing many files. #TrustButVerify
