Maybe call it Screenshot Essay, make the text blurry and you can't copy the text.

I sketched out an app a while back for a social publishing tool where all posts had to be >400 words and had to respond to a prior post (there would be an ur-post naturally). Only complete thoughts. Isolated guttural reaction posts considered harmful. Substack but the posts connect?

Sometimes I think it’d be worthwhile to start the company that makes a LinkedIn clone on every new decentralized social network.

Why do lions attack the slowest zebra?

I don’t understand why they made code default to nonisolated in the old design. Maybe that’s your preference if you’re writing server or library code. I’m hoping they’ll go with MainActor as default isolation in all modules so we can read library code without knowing the module’s default isolation.

I have a spreadsheet of all the cds I used to own. Don’t miss the pile of plastic and it satisfied my archivist instinct.

I think the frame the bluesky team is operating under is that it’s important who gets followed, less important who individuals want to follow. It’s understanding the network as media or publication instead of as communication.

SwiftUI really feels second rate on the Mac, and that's too bad since AppKit isn't getting much attention either.

It’d be interesting to translate this into the UI idioms of Sequoia but keep the core medium black and white pixels. It would draw out where we’ve moved ahead and where we’ve fallen back. Like, it feels significant that there’s no floating toolbar pattern in modern macOS. Why did they disappear?

It is. Seems like an Expo problem?

Different moderation tools, feed algos, regulatory contexts, vibes. Similar to reasons you’d choose alternatives for email hosting.

In the wild example @time.com

Presumably the default domain will become less central to atproto as alternative hosts take share and as people that need stronger verification use subdomains on parent orgs (e.g. @biden.whitehouse.gov)

Also, I should be able to give myself unlimited usernames for any domains I care to verify.

The correct UI pattern anyhow for referring to people is autocomplete suggestions, ala Facebook. Only power users remember usernames. Don’t make me think.
