If you miss that classic RSS reader feel and experience, I've been working on a new project for you. It even features native sharing to Bluesky. Introducing Webnerd.ai: Classic RSS for Today's Web blog.louisgray.com/2026/10/meet...

I'm going to be hosting a session at TPAC next week in Dublin to have an open discussions on how browsers could help with atproto, activitypub, lws, indieweb, more specifically with identity! www.w3.org/events/meeti... I'd love to see you all represented there, remotely or in person!

@thisismissem.social @divy.zone and I recently went through an exploration of how the browser can help you login to websites with atproto accounts. We recently presented to the FedID CG and here is a sneak peek in case you couldn't join! This is early but we'd love your input before we go too far!

Partially a reminder to me to go look at the code, but maybe some Bluesky team peeps see this too... would the Email Verification origin trial be a valid experiment to run on `bsky.social`? developer.chrome.com/docs/identit...

Truly wish Bluesky MFA offered TOTP, passkeys, or basically anything other than a code in your email.

Londoners! I've made a website that discovers everything going on in the physical world of London (talks, exhibitions, gigs, plays, etc.) and finds stuff it thinks you'll like. You teach it your interests by swiping events left or right. Decent recs after ~100 swipes. Check out realworld.events!

realworld.events: what’s on in London, picked for you

Swipe through London’s upcoming events: right if it’s your kind of thing, left if not, and the deck learns your taste. Filter by date, evening, area and type.

The Bob's Burgers illustrators love accurate buildings and infrastructure, down to the framing, plumbing, wiring. The boiler has an expansion tank. The power poles have transformers wired up just like they should be. There's a gas meter in the alley. The under-sink plumbing is detailed and correct

I admire John Gruber. I think he’s a great writer. I think he’s smart as hell. He’s annoyingly funny, too. I am impressed and inspired by his success with both Daring Fireball and The Talk Show. I get excited when John links to one of my apps or articles.…

What do you want us to work on in 2027? Here's a web app where you can rank the Interop proposals you care about, giving us data we can use to prioritise feature development. interop-rank.fxdx.dev

Remember Internet Explorer’s “Page Transitions”? Well, they’re back, thanks to the View Transition API! → Blog post: brm.us/page-transit... → Demo site: page-transitions.style The project leverages IE’s meta tags so browser support is not limited to Modern Browsers™ but also includes IE 5.5–8.0 😆

Well done to the person in charge of Surface for doing a presentation where Surface wasn’t spelled correctly.

There's plenty of options for hijinks and japes here, but I would also be very tempted by the simplicity of https://gtlds.fyi/wish/wan/ro

I'd take ro.wan — gtlds.fyi

What name would you pick if this were available? ro.wan is on my 2026 gTLD wishlist.

Challenging myself to cook too many roast potatoes as I have never seen a shred of compelling evidence, anecdotes, or even whispered rumours that such a thing is even possible.

Ages since I made an #opticalIllusion demo, but luckily I saw a video from the master @akiyoshikitaoka.bsky.social and needed an interactive web version. For a little Friday fun you can drag that square back and forth and I promise, hand on heart, it never changes colour. rowan.fyi/made/lightne...

Have your agent talk to my agent, darling. We'll work something out. Ciao, babe - let's do lunch! 🍸

Getting into the latest #SlowHorses and I love the recurring theme that River Cartwright is just a chronically awful spy. Genuinely causes more problems than he solves.

And with some late night bug fixing, #Nimbye correctly handles accounts with a different PDA or App view, e.g. Blacksky. Thank you @elvedin.officialawesome.com ! Now to see if I can speed up that sync process even more...

Rowan Merewood@rowan.fyi · 4w ago

Always check your project name before launch! Anyway, ByeSky (at least my instance) is now #Nimbye. Same functionality, better pun, 100% fewer naming conflicts, and hopefully not offensive. 🤞 (Also my first solid use of @atproto.com `api` + `oauth-client-browser` for a real app!)
