Recently have been diving deep into getting good at West Coast Swing/Modern Swing 🕺.

Building https://modernswing.forum/

I love hacking ⌨ and I'm fascinated by Tools for thought 🧰

It also now shows "best posts" when you visit someone's profile on Bluesky - something I've been missing from Twemex.

If you visit a bluesky post - it'll show you quotes for it in a sidebar, evoking Twemex by @geoffreylitt.com a bit, though would love to get other facets of it for Bsky as-well. Might play with adding something like that later

Prototyped sort of ampie.app version for Bluesky.

It shows you bluesky mentions for a given link you're visiting.
Definitely gives a feeling of more "connected" web

I've built "subscribe to a Bluesky thread as an RSS feed" - check it out at vlad-blueskythreadtorss.web.val.run

Subscribing to updates to specific thread is the functionality I wanted to exist on Twi/X since forever. Delighted on how easy it was to build my own version of it for Bsky!

Building on a backlinks inspiration: when you do reference an idea in a conversation - that should be reflected in your (team's) knowledge base

This allows you to build up rich context around the ideas

& solve the problem of loosing insight generated in a conversation

Roam Garden tip.

It currently doesn't support Roam's `video` command, but you can still embed videos by pasting the embed code youtube/etc will give you into a block

And such a block will be rendered as video in the garden

A somewhat more recent version of prototype of integrating notes and chat!

(I noticed that the prev version was totally illegible on Twitter 😅)

We should normalize reporting our odds on making it to a social event, so hosts can use expected value calculation to get enough food!

This now has a bounty attached to it for new options!

I've built a library which allows you to enable live link previews on your site with just one line of code. Get it at https://github.com/Stvad/link-summoner

Excited to have made this part work well (fetching specific part of the document in a way that preserves style/etc well)!

This is live for Firefox now: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/transclude-me/

An extension I've been working on that gives you live previews for Text fragment links and now more general previews for selected websites is getting closer to a release 🙂

quick demo for browser extension I've been hacking on recently: allows you to preview text-fragment link content

In the meantime a quick hack for Surfingkeys users to open a backlink search for the current tab:

Inspired by reading Duncan's essay on Why against death https://medium.com/@ThingMaker/why-against-death-12ef0775e038 that conveys the feeling of urgency and importance of the problem well

This perception of-course depends on society internalizing moral equivalence of action vs inaction based on the consequences
