Gosh ATProto awesomeness has not been kind to the part of me that tries *not* to buy a domain before a project is at least half way done.
Step 1: sketch out the domain
Step 0: create some lexicons
Step -1: name the file with… the domain I need to buy

#atprotodev has there been any thinking about dynamic 'spoiler' facets, or labels?
Something like "only show this post/section if the viewer has a record that looks like this in their repo".
This feels like something *only* ATProto can do well (and very well at that) because of interoperability.

Hey @margin.at is there Margin-compatible way to annotate quotes on my own site so that, if someone had annotated it on the original site, the annotations would show up on mine?

Hey #atprotodev, I think I'm being dense here, but…
If I'm building an app that's using an instance of Tap, and want to reprocess all records from the start again (eg. I've wiped my AppView's dev database and want to start afresh)… how do I do that? 😅

Hey #atprotodev, is there anyone that will provide a managed PDS yet?
I have the domain, they provide a reasonably (& predictably?) priced, reliable PDS that allows registrations (+ configurable limits? theme?)
(I think Blacksky.tech’s working on this, but not yet released? Is there anyone else?)

I’d love to see this!
It’d probably need a way of claiming a *different* domain (eg. people preemptively referencing @example.com, but you want to make your account on @example.org) but it can’t be *too* tricky to have a “unfilled handle” facet?

I’d love to preemptively follow & mention domains that aren’t yet in the atmosphere, to signal interest.
Doing so for the first time could trigger the generation of a website-derived placeholder profile to track the preemptive follows.
“ @minecraft.net🔜 come and claim your 50k followers! ”

I’ve been thinking about this; I’m trying to build out a charity (maybe a Not-for-profit) based on ATProto; but offering free hosting to *any* ATProto app’s data, for everyone using my platform is… a big ask for a tiny budget.
every atprotocol app and platform should host their own PDS. Please do not ask users to create an account elsewhere (i.e.: Bluesky)

Hi @chadtmiller.com, I've created an issue for the Quickslices feature we discussed briefly last year (tangled.org/slices.netwo...).
Do you have any advice on how I should (try to 😅) implement this? (If it's already on your plate do let me know!)

Made a lil' library:
codepen.github.io/slideVars/
Automatically detects CSS custom properties on the :root/html and gives you controls for adjusting them. (But it's also as configurable as you want it to be.)

Hey #atprotodev; is there a way to tag an field to assert that it’s for your ATProto username/your “internet handle”?
I figure @1password.bsky.social, @lastpass.bsky.social & similar may want to auto-suggest “log in with ATProto” at some point!

Today’s #FullAlbumListen was always going to put me in a deep trance—I’ve long loved this album. What incredible skill of Dawn of Midi recording Dysnomia in one take!
Listening to it without distraction kept giving me “jump-joy”‽ like a jump-scare, but the opposite aftertaste? Delightfully odd 🤩

A New Year’s intent of mine was to listen to albums start-to-finish!
I’ll tag them with #FullAlbumListen as I go; I’d always love a recommendation — artist, album, and a few words of why it means something to you!
