Three out of three countries where I've lived (and in all of them for more than three years) now have strict anti-LGBT laws.
I hate this world.

Just a reminder that you can save your activity chart (and even 3D print it from STL). Separately for bluesky or from other services as well 🙃

Facebook's Static Hermes is kind of incredible. It can compile JavaScript into C, which is then optimized into native machine code.
I just compiled the Less.js source code into a C library. Then I called it from Rust as a native Parcel plugin (no Node). Wild. 👨🔬

How to compile JavaScript to C with Static Hermes

I haven't touched the project for only three years. Is it really that bad?

You know... sometimes I want to write a whole damn book about all these feelings inside. But every time I just avoid them by immersing myself in code.
Today was a productive day, by the way.

I clearly underestimated the complexity of this idea, but I'm almost done 🧑🍳
There's still a lot of polishing and refactoring to do, but I'm already happy with the result

The pain of working with a large codebase without a proper architecture at the outset is that changing the core architecture becomes very difficult.
And then the only question is how many workarounds will have to be implemented to release a new idea 🫠

Added feeds viewing in Atsky. This is the only section where the paths differed from Bluesky.
Now, you can switch from Atsky to Bluesky from Almost any page by clicking the logo in the corner.
And vice versa - by changing the address from bsky to atsky

I finally decided to take a look at the permissions. There's some customization already, but it's still a bit clunky.
I'm wondering if I want to prioritize this or if the client doesn't really need it 🤔

In general, it’s even a little strange to me that, having such an open protocol, applications are so separated from other products

Not just decentralize, but also delayerarize 🤪😅
(When you're creating an abstraction, the key is to stop in time. So I haven't yet decided to think in that category [yet])

And in general, it's all about layers - trending, people, lists. It's like atproto is a monorepo, and everything built on it is a layer, and these layers can be interconnected and can use layers below or at their level.
Top level (like Bluesky) has access to other services if they're open to it

I would like to share a bit more about the concept - in case it resonates with someone else too 🙃
So, on the UI side, there would be several predefined card types: stream, media, story, post, links - designed for different placements like the top bar or side panel...

And now I can create a widget for myself as well
I just wanted to see some beautiful photos before scrolling through my feed and then continue reading the news.
Released in a simplified version, I'll see how useful it is and then improve implementation 🖼️

It's funny how on Christmas Eve they decided to figure out how the restrictions are configured.
For now, I'm sticking with the aggressive and blunt blocking, but I need to figure out the more subtle options...
