Hi Bluesky ✌️
I'm Dominik, a young coder from Switzerland. I work as a #webflow dev and study computer science by day, while working with #laravel and on my personal website by night.
Some things I'm into: #running, #photography, #blogging, #indieweb, #minimalism

Cheers!

One thing I really like about @croissantapp.bsky.social is how you can customize @ mentions for each network.
It doesn't even have to be an account – you can also just write the name of the person if they don't have a profile on that network.

Wanted to share this interesting visualization by @rubenmathisen.bsky.social that we took a look at in my sociology class.
Especially the first and last map are quite powerful.

I know I'm late to the party, but yesterday I watched K-Pop Demon Hunters, and it's honestly a very good movie. Visuals, the music, the story, the details – everything done very well.
Definitely recommend watching it, if you haven't yet!

Really interesting article about how predictably people choose 4 digit codes:

Just discovered this very cool too(oooo)l for adding minimalist lo-fi effects onto images: www.tooooools.app/
I particularly like the dithering and CRT* one. The ASCII art generator is also great!

Any reason why my alt account on my self-hosted pds with a custom domain doesn't show up in Bluesky for other users via search and has an "invalid handle" tag?

Ok, this is very cool: @paperbnd.club uses the same lexicon, which means my reviews are on there as well :)
Project of the day completed: Migrating all my read books from Literal and Storygraph over to @bookhive.buzz (atproto clone of the former two) 🐝

This is a fun iOS app to sort some colour palettes and decompress for a few minutes.
I often keep sorting palettes one after the other.
The app's called Color Sort Therapy.

Chatted with an OG Internet guy at the @atproto.boston meetup today.
Asked him about the last time he saw so much community excitement and engagement for a protocol.
He said http and html.

Just an observation (and maybe it's just my bubble), but why are so many atproto devs also iOS/Swift devs?

Only discovered this now, but this is such a cool branding!
Like with FocusFlight (apps.apple.com/us/app/focus...), these airport/flight metaphors just work for me :D

Easiest way to boost happiness is to inject more art into your daily life.
Buy prints. Go to the theater. Install indie apps.

Seeing a lot of people asking "Oh so now Bluesky has an algorithm?" And... Yeah, the Discover feed has been an algorithmic feed from the start, and there are lots of custom feeds that are as well.
Bluesky and ATProto is not anti-algorithm, it's about offering choice for feeds.

The atproto feed has turned into my most favorite one these past few days.
So cool to see all these creative people come up and discuss ideas surrounding the atmosphere 🌤️

Affinity is free now and an all-in-one tool?
I'm a bit worried there is some sort of catch here (maybe not now but in the future) and that a one-time fee like before would have felt more reassuring.
But let's be happy while it lasts, Affinity is great :)
