I like to make things that feel personal using design, tech, and storytelling. Expect posts about technology, coding, LLMs, pop culture, and a lot of bad jokes :P

the atproto community needs to better highlight/promote the fact that using atproto in an app doesn’t have to be all or nothing — we should encourage people to use atproto accounts & oauth even for services that aren’t going to read/write much from the PDS but rather a private centralized database

imo a good AI search tool shouldn't just be a wall of text, it should have direct quotes from websites, images, and lots of links built in to click on (not just little citations). no one i've seen has done this well so far, the closest I've seen in brave search's AI mode.

wait it looks really good up close too... so pillowy
v1.109 is rolling out today! #NewProfilePic

We've given the app a mini makeover with some new shades of blues! Plus, a whole bunch of bug fixes and performance improvements to make your experience better.

guys is it crazy to say i like the old icon better because of the lighter blue and especially the gradient?

do like how the new one feels more "puffy" / 3d and shaded tho, the rest of it will grow on me

brave search's "Ask" AI mode is pretty good actually

questions for everyone outside the US:

what is your country like? what does day-to-day life look like? what's the culture socially? how is government set up? what freedoms are you given? what does the government pay for? how high are taxes? how diverse is it? how's the weather? public transit? etc

@baileytownsend.dev i'm setting up backups for my account with PDS MOOver! question: i've already downloaded a rotation key with ATAirport when I migrated my account a bit ago. should I still check "Create a rotation key" and/or is there something else I have to fill out? or can i safely ignore it?
