Yeah that would be awesome. Lexicon HUD!

Yeah that would be nice. I feel like that’s so close with tangled.org/@stavola.xyz...

I’ve been playing around with mapping lexicons to graphql queries and it essentially eliminates that step. You still need to run graphql codegen if you want the types but you can also just pass the raw query string and get some data back.

I hear you, it’s not super easy to consume especially when it’s wired up with a bunch of refs you have to follow. I just worry that having to learn extra syntax on top of that in addition to everything is a lot but maybe I’m wrong!

I know there are use cases for private atproto infra but those can be deployed via standalone instances.

I know @bad-example.com is working on a lot these things already and maybe Slices could be tweaked to apply it's lexicon based querying interfaces on top microcosm services.

I guess I don't fully understand why everyone was to run their own silo of indexed data if it's all public data. It could be deployed in a way that's totally independent from bsky infra, not in the usa, or even run on a raspberry pi or something.

If @slices.network existed as merely a community API of indexed records of different AppViews would people use it? This was the idea around the social aspects of it anyways. I'm not after monthly subscriptions, I'm trying to build a community resource. Just need enough to keep the 💡 on.

Having a self contained instance seems to be what people want so I need to untangle the social stuff and simplify.

How many lexicon validators will it take for you to finally write your AppView.

I honestly don't find writing lexicons in json to be that annoying. Just copy something similar, tweak for your app and run against a validator. Boom done. My only wish is a UI builder type of thing so I don't have to constantly look at a spec doc.

Yeah that's ultimately what I need to figure out. I think the social aspects of @slices.network is cool (sharing/discovering lexicons, accessing public APIs) and I put more focus into that then deploying your own thing.

Chad @chadtmiller.com · 6h

If you use the @slices.network hosted instance you can build on the edge today. Is it missing something? I get that the tooling needs some work but it’s the quickest way to build a functional atproto thing I know of. Not too far away from a simple deployable docker container.

I mean I’ve basically built all this already, also has a graphql api with forward and reverse joins between lexicon records @slices.network

Subvert is launching this fall.

Before we get there, we want to give an early look at what’s being built.

Subvert Members get first access to explore the alpha stage platform later this month.

For what it's worth, I've explored this space a lot with @slices.network and have come to the conclusion that graphql might be our saving grace. If you abstract away the indexing to a separate service (slices 😉) you can interact via graphql in any language and get types AND hydration for free.

We could add this to @slices.network as an option for adding and editing lexicons in the ui. I wanted to build a lexicon ui builder thing but I’m not sure I have the energy for that rn. Doing a rewrite of the front end with React and Relay and this would be sick.

@mackuba.eu I use AIP to do device code flows for the @slices.network cli. It’s the only way I know of to get that working right now. There’s an example in the AIP repo. You’d have to host an AIP service but if you use the SQLite container it’s a simple setup.
