The Bluesky API is so much fun to work with because it works via CORS and without requiring authentication - so you can knock something out using plain HTML and JavaScript and host it anywhere you like as a static page

Love these little bits of polish
Inspired by the work from @nickthesick.com for @bookhive.buzz who was in turn inspired by @jakelazaroff.com Kipclip now also has the cool handle autocomplete feature on the login page that all the cool atproto kids have! Happy url collecting ❤️

Being the newest person on the team means I've got a lot of catching up to do, it also means I get to get started with all the latest tooling, like this excellent SDK update from @matthieu.bsky.team
Hey y'all, we just released a new SDK for working with Lexicons in TypeScript! 🥳
It focuses on improving DX and some of the pain points of the current tooling (see my previous post below).
It's currently in beta and we'd love to get your feedback 🙇♂️

Getting OAuth right is no mean feat, Alex has done excellent updating the guidelines while we finalize the scopes work.
got some improved OAuth guidelines for you all since you were asking so nicely for them 😉
atproto.com/guides/oauth
This will probably be the last update to our OAuth docs before scopes are final-final(-V2-use-this-one).docx

Sill's bookmarks have a new update! By using the community lexicon for bookmarks, you can publish Sill bookmarks to your PDS and interoperate with other bookmarking apps across the ATmosphere!
Some new Sill features
Launching tagged bookmarks, more link metadata, and a rearchitecture

I've been excited by the apps that are sharing Lexicons and building experiences that haven't really been possible on the social web
Interoperable Atmosphere apps with Lexicons

yall aren't ready for how nice this new lex sdk turned out
Been building on the Atmosphere? The official Lexicon codegen tooling has some rough edges for third-party devs:
• Bundle bloat
• Painful maintainability
• Inflexible client/server modes
Wrote up the pain points (and there might be a solution coming 👀)

Rethinking Lexicon Tooling for Third-Party Developers
The official Lexicon code generation tooling hasn't evolved much since its initial release. While it serves the core atproto codebase well, third-party developers face significant challenges with bundle size, manual maintenance, and architectural constraints that make building production-ready applications unnecessarily difficult.

There are 400+ apps built on @atproto.com with daily active users 🤯 @tangled.org is building GitHub but better for indie devs; @gandersocial.bsky.social building an app that follows Canadian laws; etc. We built Bluesky for builders and they are BUILDING!! And I got to meet @laurenshof.online 🤩

Going to publish a Leaflet later today, but Sill has PDS-published bookmarks now!
@tylerjfisher.com live demo of #ATproto ‘a data portability benefits, showing bookmarks instantly synced between @sill.social and @kipclip.com and it went great!

We’re *considering* a feature that would make finding IRL friends on Bluesky easier and we need your help to make sure it’s safe and secure.
"Find friends by phone" is a common tool in social networks. We're proposing a secure scheme and requesting comments from the dev community.
Goals:
・Double opt-in: you're not findable by your phone unless YOU use the tool
・Secure to enumeration attacks
・Resistant to decryption if compromised

IF YOU ARE RUNNING YOUR OWN PDS I am sorry but I am about to make a change to our docker compose.yaml to switch to a fork of the watchtower service that handles updates -- see github.com/bluesky-soci...
unfortunately, upstream is now unmaintained and we can't push this out any more cleanly. thanks!

switch to watchtower fork by axfelix · Pull Request #289 · bluesky-social/pds
I normally don't switch to a 3rd party fork lightly due to maintenance implications, but this seems like the right move here: containrrr/watchtower#2122
Tested that the fork was able to update ...

One thing that's been heavily proven to me is Bluesky is not all politics. The music, record, cd, movie, books, horror and lots more scenes are heavily alive and well here with almost zero negativity. Better engagement here than Facebook has been in years.

I'm building a browser extension that adds an analytics dashboard for your Bluesky account.
It shows your top supporters, post analytics, and engagement metrics in a slide-out panel. More to come! 😊
Thoughts? Know anyone who'd be interested in trying it?
