Is there any atproto API that returns the bare value of a record rather than the value syntax? I remember a while ago trying to find one and ended up just wrapping it with an XRPC endpoint.

In the US, the gold standard is probably Amtraker, or asm.transitdocs.com. But Amtrak's terrible (undocumented) API means often a bad experience is passed on to the user. While Carto doesn't actually have location information on the trains, it manages to deliver a fantastic experience.

I think the hardest part about rail maps is bridging the gap between usability and information density – i.e. you want to be able to show a ton of information to advanced users while still making the site intuitive and easy to use. For example openrailwaymap.org vs. @piero.bsky.social's amtraker.com

Oh that makes sense! I hope the busses were electric, underground diesel BRT sounds like a bit of a nightmare.

Running into the same issue on the official bsky.app PDS, though. Same w/ 'encoding: text/plain' :(

Nope :( I’m sure there’s some way to get the matter files onto a kobo but the problem is the remote syncing. I probably would’ve had to upload them to calibre web which is just a mess.
If you have any other ideas I’d be happy to help!

Isn't BskyAgent just an extension of AtpAgent?
