I took a two-week break and flew to Asia. I usually do this twice a year, and normally I'm good at separating work from life when I do. For the first time, I actually feel bad about not getting my agent working. I feel like I'm wasting usage.

📰 Rather than just recap my WWDC experience, I wanted to share my journey over 20 years that led to this moment. Lots of people thanked here, and a little gallery of selfies too: beard.fm/blog/my-firs...
My First WWDC, 20 Years in the Making
A 20-year journey, from my first Mac in 2005, to attending my first WWDC in-person, and all the incredible people I met along the way.

For a person who lives constantly looking to the future, days like this when the world seems to be going backwards are really difficult. Climate, wars, rights, politics. Sometimes I struggle with being optimistic.
https://swablu.pages.dev is an amazing web client for Bluesky. If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely should!
Although Reeder is not designed for this purpose, it is an excellent client for Bluesky!
Today's Reeder update is the one I've been waiting for, you can now filter our replies from your Bluesky timelines. This not only turns Reeder into a great Bluesky client, but you can use it to create one unified timeline across Threads and Mastodon as well. 😍😍😍
Sunday project: playing around with atproto and a lil Bluesky client
Self-hosting SkyBridge from @videah.net solved all the issues I had with the public instance. Timeline loads fast and snappy on Ivory, post counter working too!
did:web 101 (a thread) So, looks like someone sent you to this post because your app doesn't support did:web. That's cool, it's relatively easy to fix.
Hey I published a React Native OAuth library for #atproto! npm install @aquareum/atproto-oauth-client-react-native github.com/aquareum-tv/... Successfully using it to log in to bsky.social directly from Aquareum. Yay! Thanks to @samuel.bsky.team and @hailey.at for getting me on the right track.

Yesterday I stumbled into a butterfly conservation park while traveling through Southeast Asia - felt right for Bluesky 🦋 #ShotOniPhone
Wish more Bluesky third-party apps would adopt OAuth login. Having to create an App password every time is such a hassle

Noticed @paul.tapbots.com just joined Bluesky... still dreaming of a Tapbots client! Would throw my wallet at it tbh!
Got ideas for how a Reddit / Hacker News alternative @frontpage.fyi should work using your Bluesky connections? Try it out and give feedback to @tom.frontpage.team and the team
How can @frontpage.fyi take advantage of the Bluesky social graph? Eg. Your follows, likes, mutuals I have a few ideas but am interested in hearing from others!
Wow. On Nov. 5th, Threads had five times more daily active users in the US than Bluesky. Now, Threads is only 1.5 times larger. I can see why Meta is freaking out now Story: www.ft.com/content/e1b5...
Got my sights on the new Mac Mini (finally moving on from my Intel MBP 16" 🥲). Looking for monitor recommendations - any solid alternatives to the Studio Display?
Been using Openvibe for Bluesky (still on Ivory for Mastodon tho). Came for the cross-posting feature, but honestly it's turned out to be the smoothest third-party client so far. Pretty excited to see what other devs bring to the table!
