for this week's atproto news I'm comparing todays Dutch election result with how active the politicians are on Bluesky

and in other news:
- GreenEarth is building personalised algos on atproto, with 300k in funding
- more interop between publishing platforms
- polls on leaflet
ATmosphere Report #140 - its still all politics

microcosm is hard decentralization

- 2x full network non-US-based public relays, among longest running indies
- 3x public jetstream
- the only public PLC mirror running the reference PLC code/with full PLC API support
- the first public record cache infra built around com.atproto.*.getRecord
atmosphere devs! 🧑‍🚀

just published a protocol checkin: docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco...

tl;dr
expect to see a lot of updates from us in the next few months. we're hard at work on making AT easier to build on & ensuring the network remains a resilient foundation for the future of open social

i really like twitter's post thread sidebar for the desktop web image viewer and so added it to red dwarf
(its not actually hooked up to any routes yet, its just a modal)

experimenting with tanstack virtual list on local3768forumtest.whey.party
still seeing some annoying scroll jumps, scroll position restoring is less precise, and perf on mobile is noticeably worse than a plain div

got rid of unnecessary fetches by applying more caches to more queries, and i also enabled react compiler. while its still not that fast, red dwarf should feel a bit faster for mobile users. also PWA colors should be nicer now

ATProto is a team sport - we build better together. That's why, effective today, we're opening up access to the enriched archive we use to power Graze, so anyone can build great services on top of ATProto without reinventing the wheel. Read more in the @leaflet.pub post below for details!

just found out that constellation now lets you filter by did, and it makes fetching follow state way easier.
tangled.org/@whey.party/...
but a problem i quickly ran into is that the main constellation instance does not index most of my follows (probably because it isnt backfilled, and my acc is old)

I speak next week about our work to add E2EE DMs in Bluesky using the Matrix protocol. The event will be live streamed by the Matrix conference.

We will launch a Bluesky service using this technology soon.

E2EE Direct Messaging in Bluesky with Matrix Matrix Conference 2025
See a demo of E2EE encrypted DMs in Bluesky powered by Matrix. We will highlight the simple user experience and other advantages of this approach to adding E2EE to Bluesky.

okay i get it having two things named "Red Dwarf" is very confusing

the "main" tanstack router version:
- repo: tangled.org/@whey.party/...
- app: reddwarf.whey.party

experimental social-app fork:
- repo: github.com/rimar1337/so...
- app: red-dwarf-social-app.whey.party

if you're doing a side project and someone else is doing the same, don't let this discourage you
it doesn't hurt to have alternatives, different implementations, who knows if they will go as far as you do, and in any case, you will learn a lot and have something cool to show
