What if you could use @curvenote.com editor to continuously publish #Research to @pipup.social or @leaflet.pub publications, that's then reviewed by the verified peers on #Semble @cosmik.network and chronicled to your #Lanyard throughout your academic career? 🤯

Wow. Presentation of the day imho, in an already packed day full of great talks. @mathewlowry.bsky.social talking about how managing orgs on the network is really bloody hard, and actually maybe not, thanks to @atconnect.eu.
incredible atproto-tier slide from @atconnect.eu

tag yourselves! #euroskylive

Mass adoption needs more than great engineering—it needs design that meets people where they are. I architect experiences for humans, not technologists, making complex systems simple for everyday people. Let’s about talk better user experiences for #ATmosphere #ATproto in #Eurosky 👋

@alexandrageese.bsky.social Loved hearing you speak at the #EuroskyLive conf. As an independent maker, building tools for Researchers on #ATproto, I was particularly excited by your prioritisation of funding. Our ecosystem is now made of bedroom devs like me, working for free, in our spare time.

#EuroskyLive “we’re not building a space agency” - @seabass.bsky.social sad but okay.

So what are they building for our #ATproto ecosystem? 🚀

Yesterday while presenting at @atproto.berlin , I said “Tweet” instead of “Skeet” and I’m still not over it 🫣

Turns out both DownDetector and DownForEveryoneOrJustMe use Cloudflare so are currently, themselves, down

I realize that OAuth is technically the way to go but I just want to mention that this is a massive UX problem for non-technical people.
Wouldn’t surprise me if this results in the same percentage of drop-offs that Mastodon had when they had that „Pick your server“ as their onboarding page.
Getting some questions about Streamplace's login page, so wanted to do a quick clarification.

"Streamplace, why do you ask for so many permissions on my Bluesky account?"

Current guidance from Bluesky is that these are the scopes that should be requested by all production applications. That's it.

WE FOUND IT! We trekked day and night through tiger-patrolled Sumatran rainforests accessible only under permit for this: Rafflesia hasseltii. Few people have ever seen this flower, and we watched it open by night. Magic.
