Building @airglow.run: automations for the AT Proto @exosphere.site: community management tools

Airglow's automation engine got a big rework. Automations are now composed of steps you can arrange in any order: conditions, loops, fetches, variables, and actions. Two highlights: real if/else branching, and loops that can chain several steps per item. 🧵

Shipped a big rework of Airglow's automation engine. The fun part was making branching and loops compose: any step can nest anywhere, and the editor computes which placeholders are valid at every point in the flow. It quietly turned into a tiny visual programming language.

I'm thinking about rebooting my @exosphere.site project, or killing it. It has some big UX issues that i could fix pretty easily. And I could simplify a few things. But I believe it has some strong foundations

Airglow has a new brand 🎨 We worked with a brand designer to give it a proper identity and a more polished feel. New logo, refreshed site, updated everywhere. Long time coming. Really happy with where it landed

I spent the last while rebuilding Airglow's brand with a designer, and it's finally live. It took longer than I expected, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. It looks and feels like a proper product now.

Been pretty quiet here recently. The reason: I've been rebranding Airglow top to bottom. New logo, new look, new homepage, same core idea: automations for the AT Protocol. An event fires, you do something with it. Almost ready. Shipping this week 👀
