The count in the header is taken directly from Bluesky. That's why it matches with what you see on the Bluesky website.
The graph is calculated based on actual follower data.
I think the graph is more accurate, but it's hard to verify

Hi Joel, thanks for your message.
I’ve noticed the same thing and to be honest I don’t have a good explanation.
The chart is calculated on the individuals followers. Whereas the other numbers are taken directly from Bluesky.
My best explanation is that they don’t count all followers

( The reason I didn’t include pricing in the email before is because if I raise the price, any sent emails will be outdated. )

Yeah I added the fact it’s paid to the invitation email for that reason. To prevent the bait and switch feeling.
I’ll add the pricing for additional clarity

Yes I had to change it at some point because it wasn’t sustainable with the free tier.
I’ll add pricing to the email 👍

Shout out to @mackuba.eu and @frabr.lasercats.fr for their work on their Ruby gems. Couldn't make this migration without those 🙏

I used Express which reminded me of Sinatra in Ruby. Easy to understand, but got messy quickly having almost everything in one file. Wasn't sure how to better organize into MVC.
Also realized how much I love Ruby's syntax and Rails' ActiveRecord.

Nothing wrong with Node.
But I have ~20 years experience with Rails and almost zero with Node. I find Rails much easier and pleasant to work with.
Had to temporarily go with Node because it has better SDKs for Bluesky and I wanted to ship fast.
But now Ruby has SDKs too, so switched back :)

Yeah that’s what I meant. Feels good, but can lead you down the wrong path

Yeah doesn't seem to require auth. Surprised you run into rate limiting errors. Are you sure it's from Bluesky and not a proxy or something?
Executing any other (high volume) API calls?

Directories might still be a good first project just to get into the shipping habit. Get something out there. Or as I mentioned, as a way distribution channel for your main business.
But agreed very hard to grow into a sustainable business by itself.

But unless you can keep growing the traffic, this is where you'll get stuck.
The primary revenue model is advertising which relies on sustained traffic rather than a valuable product.

Yes, I agree they can provide a "false start".
They are incredibly easy to ship, relatively easy to get initial traffic for (particularly if you're early in a fast-growing market), and you will likely get a bunch of positive feedback from the creators you include.

Yes it should work, but there's an issue with some of the OAuth sessions.
If you log out and log back in, it should import any missing days and continue working.
Working on a fix
