Martian CEO @inazarova.bsky.social is talking to founders choosing Rails and @marckohlbrugge.com was an obvious success story. And his advice isn’t about “hustle” or “grit” ...but curiosity, speed, and a willingness to be publicly wrong.

Some recent improvements:
- Followers are now updated in real-time using firehose data
- Fixed some bugs causing incomplete data
- Fixed some bugs in chart rendering
- Switched default period from "all" to "last 3 months"
- Added ability for me to manually add accounts w/o OAuth
- Followers are now updated in real-time using firehose data
- Fixed some bugs causing incomplete data
- Fixed some bugs in chart rendering

I converted BlueskyCounter.com 's codebase from Node to Ruby on Rails.
It should be more reliable now and I can add more features quicker 🙌

it's just because the post US-election boom, all those new users. new follows are down way more than new likes and posts.
we're just reaching a different phase where starterpacks are less of a growth source.

Noticing the same trend. Seems like either growth is slowing down a bit
Browsing profiles on blueskycounter.com it looks like most accounts hit "peak daily new followers" between Nov 20-25.
(@marckohlbrugge.com might have a better dataset)

BlueskyCounter is starting to use up my full database capacity 😅
Time to learn how to implement caching in Node Express. (I normally use Ruby on Rails for all my projects, but decided on Node here cuz of the libraries).

CSS question:
When loading blueskycounter.com/marckohlbrug... for a fraction of a second, the sidebar is hidden. It appears shortly after page load.
Anyone know why? I expect it to be shown immediately

I’m learning to accept “bugs” like these.
Yes they are easy to fix, but if you’re not careful you find yourself pursuing 100 “easy to fix” things, instead of making real progress on the stuff that matters.
