fantastic article from @alan.norbauer.com about “Relay-style GraphQL”. i think these ideas haven’t been as broadly understood in the open source react graphql community as they deserve to be. (the exact comparisons with Apollo might be somewhat outdated; i have not checked. principles are solid.)

my main “bluesky tip” is simply — like and follow posts and people you enjoy seeing in your feed, and “show less” what you don’t enjoy.

“training” Discover algorithm takes annoyingly long for now — but it does get more specific with time, and the team will be making it more responsive. data helps.

atproto aha moments:

- you can host your data
- it's just json
- it's typed but any app dev can invent those types
- records have URIs
- records are signed so cacheable without trust
- relay aggregates everyone’s events into a global stream
- backends subscribe to relay and update local DBs

🌠 For years, the #1 most requested feature in CSS was Container Queries. We wanted them so badly!

Well, they’ve arrived… and none of us are using them. 😂

I think I know why, and I just published a new blog post that will hopefully change that!

A Friendly Introduction to Container Queries • Josh W. Comeau
It’s been a couple of years since container queries started landing in browsers… so why isn’t anyone using them? It turns out that container queries are kinda tricky; they’re not as straightforward as...

yup! there are other atproto apps tho:

- frontpage.fyi
- whtwnd.com
- smokesignal.events

they’re pretty barebones but show the potential
i'm trying to understand the at protocol better.

in this diagram there are multiple applications. but currently there's only one application, right? the one run by the bluesky team?

(applications are different from clients, right?)

i wonder if diagrams like these might help draw the distinction between ActivityPub (and how Mastodon uses it) and AT Protocol (and how it’s used by Bluesky and atproto apps)?

with AP, instance = application + hosting. data gets sent between instances.

with AT, data flows *from* hosting *to* apps
