My bluesky wrapped 2024. 🎁

Earlier on this month I gave blueview.app users the ability to make their own blueksy wrapped.

It was a bit of a mixed bag as there were a lot of edge cases which I missed when fetching the data for the video.

It was a great learning experience and a lot of fun to do. 😁

I played around with this and made some programtically using the API.

Here's mine.

You can generate one for you on blueview.app 🙂

Me after launching a feature, posting to Blueksy, and then live fixing bugs after user try it out.

What a ride. 😅

Yeah that's going to not work, i should probably deal with the errors a bit better to be honest.

I made it locally for you.

I hope you enjoy 🙂

One of my favourite interactions on blueview.app is how the posts table and the preview works on desktop.

It gives you a nice preview of full context of the post when you hover it on desktop.

These little UI touches really make it a nice experience to use as a desktop user.

Good morning Bluesky 👋🏼 🦋

Web Dev / Dev tools tip 🔥

Did you know there is a 'changes' tab in the browser dev tools?

It keeps track of changes that you make and presents it in git style diff UI.

You can even copy changes when you're finished! 🤯

Never lose those unknown CSS changes again 🎉
