I started a blog on @leaflet.pub ! Terrible at writing but you have to start somewhere.

Mobile chrome had to redesign their UI just for me

So many companies have a messy internal codebase they can't afford to fix. It could be a fun off ramp to start up a relay and start putting customer data in a private PDS

Wil @wilb.me · 7d

Thinking about how much it would make sense to use atproto internally in a company. Hamfisted perhaps but you would get a lot for free and keep things flexible

New in Leaflet: facets in the Bluesky post composer!

When you post to Bluesky in the Leaflet publish flow, your links, hashtags, and @-mentions should now Just Work.

Seems small, but annoying to fail w/o realizing…nice to get this working! Even got autocomplete for mentions :)

⬇️ BEFORE / AFTER ⬇️

Playing with this idea of integrating @smallweb.run with atproto.

Current design: you install an atproto app, which regularly publish your smallweb apps as atproto records using crons. It will also exposes xrpc endpoints.

Then, I'll create an appview which aggregates and present those records.

a list of apps stored as atproto records

Thinking about rebuilding @val.town / @smallweb.run on top of atproto, with an architecture inspired by @tangled.org.

Every user can bring it's own runner, but the there is a federated appview for social stuffs (likes, follow, ect...).

I thought it would be funny to not add any amounts or details to the recipe, because I usually don't follow those anyways

I don't have a problem with making new RPC systems! I can stop any time I want! But I don't want to. So I made a new one for you. It's called Cap'n Web. It's like Cap'n Proto RPC, except focused on working great in browsers and JavaScript/TypeScript servers. blog.cloudflare.com/capnweb-java...
