Huge shoutout to @heaths.dev for his work to keep Sequoia moving forward! Thank you to everyone who has been opening issues, contributing, and helping make @sequoia.pub better and better 🤝

Heath Stewart@heaths.dev · 2mo agoPRs have been merged 🎉 Reflecting on the fun I've had contributing to @sequoia.pub, the best thing I've learned is... ...how to spell "sequoia" without fumbling the keyboard. 😄
Working on something new in @sequoia.pub: support for @standard.site's site.standard.graph.recommend! Need to work out how best to re-auth for new OAuth scopes, but otherwise works similar to the Subscribe button I added a while back.
Steve Simkins@stevedylan.dev · 5mo agoI've been absolutely swamped lately, but thanks to the atproto community, @sequoia.pub hasn't slowed down! Here's a quick rundown: A <sequoia-subscribe> web component that lets readers create a site.standard.graph.subscription record for your publication. Huge thanks to @heaths.dev for this!
The Bluesky outage reminded me how awful this format is for my mental health, so I’ll be logging off. - Will continue to build Sequoia, open issues on @tangled.org - If you want to contact me you can find methods on my website /links - Make a blog, send me your RSS

we can have this dream,,, and it can be even better than before !! our blogs can connect across many places like @pckt.blog, @offprint.app, or @leaflet.pub we can have more discoverability, more connection. we can make something social, organic, and exciting !!
Imbiesaurus@imbiesaurus.bsky.social · 4mo agoI think we should all start blogs again. Or online journals, even. That was a nice time. Just writing a few paragraphs about your day (don't forget to list the sad song you're listening to!) and maybe your friends will leave a comment. Then you go and read theirs and comment. It was fun.
hell yeah i love allbirds allbirds who visit the new bird feeder outside my front window that looks like the world's tiniest grill heh, fuckin gottem

AT Protocol Developers@atproto.com · 4mo agoDelighted to publish another guest post on the blog, this one from @stevedylan.dev about a journey he went on learning to index @standard.site records as efficiently as possible atproto.com/blog/indexin...
Today I found this site which lets you download the actual full-res archival film scans of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions. We're talking up to 1.3GB TIFs 🤤 tothemoon.im-ldi.com/gallery/Apol...
Thanks to the awesome atproto community advice, docs.surf lives to see another day! Was able to create a closed loop on Cloudflare and cut my usage to practically nothing. Should be stable for months to come!
Steve Simkins@stevedylan.dev · 4mo agoHate to say it, but I might need to stop my indexer for docs.surf. It’s. Fun little project, but the costs are slowly creeping upwards as standard.site continues to grow. Tap listening to every single record just eats up way too much egress.
A refactor might be in order using tangled.org/slices.netwo... Thanks for the heads up @goose.art!

Finally moved my git server to a dedicated VPS, so now you can do this ssh git.stevedylan.dev
Can we get a atproto bsky clone where we fork the lexicons? I want to talk atproto in a bsky format without the bsky user base lol

You've gotta be BLOGMAXXING You've gotta be publishing one blog on @leaflet.pub and another blog on @pckt.blog and a third on @offprint.app and (you guessed it) why not *also* hook up the blog you already have with @standard.site using @sequoia.pub and sure go wild make another on @leaflet.pub and—
Bryan (they/them)@chaosgreml.in · 4mo agocooking up a slate of very fun blog posts - should I write them on @pckt.blog? @leaflet.pub? @offprint.app? My own blog? Wait!! Because of @standard.site, we don’t have to choose!!!
I’d be hiding it too if I had a 6k LOC react component in a CLI 🫥

Holy smokes y'all. If I wasn't already self hosting a blog I would 100% be using @offprint.app. I have not seen a publishing app with this level of polish in a long time, and it will absolutely give Substack a run for its money. Well done @aka.dad!! 👏 andromeda.offprint.app/a/3mi2gkz5ui...

Mark X@markmx.bsky.social · 4mo agoHello from afar to #atconf attendees! For native app developers, we have something to share: we're now building our next Swift stack for AT Protocol in the open: mark-germ.leaflet.pub/3mhy3iphvp22o 1/6
I’ve got a nice repeatable rust stack that lets me build basic crud apps in no time. Last week was a package tracker, this week is a notes app. Absolutely love building my own personal software
