Oh well, introducing Swablu, my yet another hard-to-pronounce web client, this time for Bsky.

Note that this is very early, experimental and buggy. Feel free to play around https://swablu.pages.dev/ and look at the code https://github.com/cheeaun/swablu

Been working on this for the past few days. Very experimental, early, buggy, and NOT complete.

1️⃣ One small sneak peek for now.

For those who don't know me, I created Phanpy (web client for Mastodon) that has *a lot* of these kind of UI ideas & experiments. This allows me to experiment more.

Got bored. Made this. https://codepen.io/cheeaun/pen/OPMvRJO

Seems to work best on Firefox. Weird bottom margin on Chrome. Laggy on Safari. #css #marquee #codepen

Is @bsky.app considering adding this feature from Threads?

Kinda disappointed that the resize cursor doesn't smoothly rotate around the curves of the window edges.

Recently there has been a lot of dividing & heated discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol.

Yesterday at the Social Web CG meeting, I proposed releasing a statement on this discourse, you can read the full statement here:

It's been 2 weeks since beta launch and we'd love to hear from you...

What features, bugs, or design patterns cause you to choose other Bluesky/ATProto clients over @anisota.net still?

Your input will help inform what gets prioritized and focused on! 🕯️

uh… this kinda works 😅

Idea from @patak.dev few months ago bsky.app/profile/pata...

Randomly revisiting this codebase to upgade dependencies 🤷‍♂️

I am implementing a bookmark feature in TOKIMEKI, and the main reason why this feature is not implemented in the official app is probably because of the requirement that bookmarks should be private. (1/3)

it's been a long time coming, but i'm happy to share that my latest creative project is finally here...

@anisota.net is an experimental social client (and game!) for Bluesky and the AT Protocol

i built it for me because i'm kinda weird and needed an equally weird way to experience social media 🕯️

Threads continues to ship one feature after another from the idealized roadmap I left for my coworkers at Twitter when I left the company back in 2022.

hashtagheyalexa 5h Okay, @Threads automatically labeling threaded posts with the #/# bit now is actually quite nice. • Thread marker. Instead of users manually writing 1/25 to signify the first of a 25-tweet thread, since we know how many tweets are in a thread we should show a little bubble on the tweet in the top right corner that says (1/25). It'll save people precious characters and let threads grow in size without having to know how long they'll be upfront.

Fascinating to see BusRouter, an unofficial bus route visualisation tool developed by @cheeaun.com, used by Bus Controllers at Operation Control Centres operated by official transit agencies

Not everything has to be proprietary - what’s open is often also decent

I've built a new Bluesky tool (as part of Skythread) - it lets you scan your timeline and evaluate which of the people you're following are contributing how much % to your feed 📊 #atdev

I haven't figured out navigation yet, so for now you need to use this link 😅

Wait, so this is how it works in Bluesky OAuth?… If e.g. Skythread, Skeets, Flashes, Skylight uses OAuth, either the user gets logged out every few days or it all needs to go through a backend, do I understand that right?… If so, this is kinda useless, no? 😐 #atdev

Side quest sneak peek: a browser extension that visualizes (Service Worker) Cache Storage for web sites.

Decided to build this after seeing how difficult it is too see what's stored in Service Worker cache. They can (accidentally) take up quite a lot of […]

So, can ATProto scale down? Have Bluesky's "scaling towards decentralization" issues been fixed?

Not fundamentally. There have been good advancements in self-hosting efforts, but my fundamental analysis of Bluesky and ATProto scaling quadratically have not changed. 🧵
