musing on community and serendipity at hopeinsource.com
WIP PR, tho it's live: github.com/hzoo/henry.i..., renders lists (a trail) and elements (a mark).

to have a way to add to a trail, i'd need content - either rendering a feed or arena itself. meanwhile added a bookmarklet to add the current url to a list in a popup

difficult thing that i see is that the easiest way to add something is to use a bookmarklet/ext, having to copy paste a url is annoying (esp with metadata), but maybe people are ok with it

(easy to bookmark on twitter and now bsky, same within arena itself), i want that across any atproto app

i'm curious how integrating with it would work, since a lot of charm/joy of it is the community/existing stuff
October 15, 2025 at 3:06 AM
ay! working on it with henry.ink, i think i'd rather just reimplement a UI from scratch since it's not the current version of the site anyway? arena.henryzoo.com was a fun start (just showing channels from the url)

diff UI for arena data is interesting, but creating the lexicon + community is hard

tried some diff uis a while back: fs, thread, chat view bsky.app/profile/henr...
anyone know of any other threaded views other than reddit-style? loom? bible translations?

going to try out some ideas here: annotation-demo.henryzoo.com/thread

was doing something similar! tried out a similar structure to arena, a container (trail) and an element (mark) henry.ink/profile/henr...

interesting to me is an easier way to add things based on url, i.e bookmark, so wouldn't need to paste things as much, ideally each atproto app would support

tyty i saw the repo but wasn’t sure how to call the appview, ya maybe was attempting that but not ready yet
September 15, 2025 at 3:26 PM
oh yea I was just trying to get like the stars or primary language like they display on GitHub but it seems it’s all using htmx and I didn’t find the apis for the app view if that’s even open so only have what’s in the record/pds
September 14, 2025 at 7:14 PM
there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to render other people’s lexicons either, like I tried tangled but didn’t understand how I could render the metadata since couldn’t find an api call for it (a repo) but maybe just not familiar

bsky.app/profile/henr... I started one didn’t make it public since needs some feedback and iteration and mostly ux/ui work imo, the hardest part is that you need to be able to get the at uri easily to insert a record I think?
embedding not just posts but any atproto lexicon seems special vs just any list of urls (whether arena or elsewhere), I see for the structured data? reminding me of semantic web: whether it's events, leaflet, status, book, arena link itself, etc

example of a list of prints I did

thanks!! haven't updated it in a while but it seems to be picking up subdomains rather than exact search too
September 10, 2025 at 3:28 PM
amazing!! love to see the new ideas

my setup is similar (old android phone running same code + hotspot)
September 8, 2025 at 3:39 PM
seems like a conflict between the freedom of any user to delete anything in their PDS and caching it because of references? So if I link to a site, and someone saves my "link" of it rather than the site, then that info is lost if i delete my post. That user wants to know the site + that I linked it
September 4, 2025 at 4:25 PM
yea! started building out an atproto arena-like right now as an experiment, and thinking about how to render other lexicons too, and henry.ink was already showing quotes/annotations from .app.bsky.feed.post
September 3, 2025 at 7:46 PM
would love to chat more on this, since i've been trying to do a similar thing outside of a leaflet blog itself? any url, or maybe even atproto record itself.. maybe can reuse things..

are there any lexicons that are for connecting accounts to other socials? was thinking of making one for say are.na

(my idea was to verify on the other side through some convention, so for arena it could be like making a specific named block or channel etc, and then on the atproto side link to it)

wip but i iterating on some stuff already, i'm not sure it's that much more than a list + entries in a list but the UX of how to submit/add things to it is the main thing I'm trying to think about
August 30, 2025 at 1:44 PM
so i could make something like a `ink.henry.actor.arena` on my own, or make something like `na.are.user` under @are.na, or just modify `app.bsky.actor.profile` with a extra field?
