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

Node excitement 😉

Congrats to @marcoippolito.dev on making it official: type-stripping in Node 25 is now declared to be stable 🎉

You can run: node index.ts

The capabilities have not changed since Node 24. This is purely a maturity indicator.
Type stripping is now stable.
Enjoy 🌞
Node.js v25.2.0 Current is out 💚

Spent some time making a linktree-esque app built on #atproto @ bluelinks.fyi to explore reading/writing data in the atproto network!

really cool to see city-wide adoption for bluesky, like @boston.gov has done

i'm especially interested in the Boston feed they created because this is a way for govts to share updates with their constituents directly through social media, without a company's blackbox algorithm interfering
We've launched an official City of Boston starter pack to make it easy to follow City departments. This starter pack will stay up to date as more teams join the Bluesky community. Give them a follow!

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network.

I blogged about it here:
