I’m writing some poetry tonight. I haven’t done so in a long time, but it feels reassuring to get back into it.

It’s never too late to dive back into your creative passions.

Visualization of the network: a night sky where each star is someone posting ✨

I made a thing!

I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev

It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃

Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something
