After adding spoiler support, I'm seriously considering adding embeds like YouTube, Spotify, etc. What feature would make PiPup the best blogging platform you've ever used?

If you create a new post on WhiteWind it will appear on PiPup as well. And you can import your old WhiteWind posts to PiPup with 1 click.

A handy tip for folks in computer science 😉

PiPup @pipup.social · 5d

A great option, for sure. Another great one for folks who want to own their data and set up a blog is PiPup. You already have an account (your Bluesky account) and your blog posts are stored on your personal data server just like your bsky posts.

Glad you find it useful! I have a "Following" feed on the roadmap but it'll take a little bit of time to make sure it's scalable and resource-efficient for accounts of any size.

Becoming familiar with @tangled.org. This is so cool.

PiPup @pipup.social · 6d

We just launched 😃
You can also import your old Whitewind posts with 1 click.

PiPup supports Markdown (and more) and new Whitewind posts are automatically in there as well. A good option to try now that Whitewind seems to be officially unmaintained.

PiPup @pipup.social · 6d

We support Markdown natively! I’d be happy to answer any questions.

PiPup @pipup.social · 6d

If you’re interested in long-form writing with Markdown give us a try 😊

PiPup @pipup.social · 6d

PiPup lets you write in Markdown with a live preview and is built on atproto. We just launched and if you give it a try I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I'll be writing about our architecture if that's something you're interested in. What would you like to see? Some options:
- Monoliths, microservices, & "right-sized" services
- Kappa architecture
- Scaling implications for relational, key-value, and columnar stores
- Containers

I've counted around 50 services running on atproto not counting utilities and clients. The creativity of the community and diversity of social modes makes it a very exciting place to be right now!

I'm only about halfway through filling it out but the community might find it helpful already. I'll wait until I'm done filling these out before adding new entries. DM me with corrections or new info!
