MuteSky — Mute in Bulk on Bluesky
MuteSky helps you efficiently manage your Bluesky experience by providing powerful bulk muting capabilities. Filter your feed, manage content, and customize your experience with ease.
mutesky.app
For those of you looking to avoid the news today, check out @mutesky.app, which mutes political and distressing keywords. Temporarily set it to Complete filtering which adds about 1500 mute keywords. Performance will be impacted a bit but worth it. After the hubbub, set it back to Minimal.

There's so much pressure — after using a ton of context to discuss the new design of RealCajunRecipes.com
Knowing the context is full of our vibrant design discussion, do I open a new session or not? Knowing that the design is variable and I'll be staring at it for the next X years..

Our website recently got an upgrade! It was initially built on WordPress in 2016 then after several hacks, was exported to HTML and put on @github.com's Pages in 2020. Now, it's been redesigned using Hugo and Claude Code. Let us know what you think!

Officially, I am into vibe coding now. 🙈
Against all scepticism, I decided to stress my GitHub Copilot a bit and I have to admit, the results are somewhere between "interesting" & impressive...
The outcome is a little #PowerShell module project.
I've call is "DevDirManager".

Here’s @toastit.dev creating a toast notification with a button that launches Notepad. Use your imagination and think of the possibilities!
