I’m beginning to think that platform specific apps are a bad idea…

Long live the open web!

Tomorrow’s the day. I’m launching a Bluesky web app that lets you delete your post history. It has plenty of filtering options and was built mobile first, but looks great on desktop too.

It uses Bluesky OAuth, so you don’t have to deal with app tokens!

Man, the Daft Punk Fortnite musical experience hit me right in the feels. Sounds cheesy but it gave a sense of closure and I hope they never get rid of it.

I think more people need to use the social aspect of Apple Music. I enjoy seeing what friends are currently listening to for recommendations or as a virtual water cooler of solidarity if we're listening to the same album.
