experimenting with WWW-Authenticate headers for advertising oauth on permissioned endpoints (e.g. followers only)
pretty easy to integrate with ethereum. the client or server initiating the request can then exchange a signature for a session token and re-request the data if they have access

ethconfig.eth.limo is a simple text record service for ethereum addresses
any ethereum address can set key value pairs on this contract to be looked up by anyone else
it's also ENS-compatible without being dependent on ENS, meaning that records can be resolved via .ethconfig.eth

are there any ongoing discussions around adopting did:ethr (or a new smart contract-based DID primitive) as a decentralized alternative to did:plc? seems like a great fit

learnt a bit about atproto today by extending the statusphere example to do some indexing!
now when you log in, it backfills statuses from everyone you follow
github: github.com/stephancill/...
try it statusphere.steer.fun

Global spam filters are a bit of a cop out imo. They give you the worst of both worlds
- when they’re too aggressive they frequently result in false positives
- when they’re too lax they’re not very useful
The reality is that spam is relative and our content filters should reflect that

is there a discussion about bringing mini apps to bluesky? who should i follow?
mini app integration into bluesky could be as simple as being able to launch an iframe, providing an sdk for automatically logging users in, and allowing apps to send notifications!
