Heatcheck follows games live and gives a spoiler-free rating of how watchable the game has been to that moment. Tonight's first games start in 15 minutes, so follow along!

I'm going to bed though. Don't break it.
Just in time for NBA Christmas, I'm soft-launching heatcheck.site. Heatcheck tells you if an NBA game was good without spoiling the result.

To do so, I've built the Heat Index, a system that accounts for final score margin, lead changes, and back-and-forth drama.

Would love your feedback!

Two months later, this became heatcheck.site
I'm an NBA fan who now lives in Europe, so I can't watch live. I've been building a silly tool that looks at play-by-play data overnight and tells me what games I should watch in the morning without spoiling them, based on competitiveness. HOU vs. OKC was as good as it gets.

I've been following the atproto sign up language discourse. For now I'm sticking with "AT Protocol handle", but eager to see the community evolve its thinking over time.

Small new @sill.social feature: you can now filter your feed to see *only* reposts. It's a unique way to look at what your timeline is boosting, and could give you some new people to follow and expand your network. sill.social/links?repost...

Very cool work!

"By building on a user’s existing, self-selected network, [ @sill.social ] offers a simple, rule-based system to show users the links they may most want to see. Effectively, this uses the number of times a link is shared by the user’s social network as a proxy for quality."

is anyone doing ttrpg stuff on atproto? i don’t really play but a friend asked me about it

i've lived in the netherlands for six months now. related: i haven't driven a car in six months. pretty great.
December 17, 2025 at 11:20 PM
honestly i thought this was why it was called ATProtocol to begin with.
Maybe the move is to reclaim the @

Cc @anna.germnetwork.com
I kinda like just "log in with your @", with whatever explanatory help text, and gradually decrease the amount of explanation needed as it becomes more ubiquitous

(like internet handle but more of a symbol; ideally a cool logo not just the literal @ char, and could be tailored per app)

WOW! Major change being tested on Facebook

Some will love this. Many will HATE it!

Facebook is testing limiting the number a links people can share without a Meta Verified subscription

Some users will be limited to sharing just TWO links per month in organic posts, without a Mera Verified account

In an industry built on trust and the belief we stand fully behind our work how in the world was anyone convinced a "this could be entirely wrong, not our problem" caveat is good enough to justify providing AI slop to readers

Anti-scale: a response to AI in journalism | Tyler Fisher
Journalism can no longer chase Silicon Valley's tail in hopes of salvation. We need a self-determined vision for what journalism on the web is, who it is for, and how we build it.

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.
