This is the way. Did we tell people their account was stored in MySQL in the before times? Let the network effects take place after they use their first Atmosphere app.

Wikipedia on mobile suffers from Scroll Roulette. All those collapsed content sections, and you don’t know how long they’ll be. You might be scrolling for a paragraph or a small novella. Solution here is sticky headers - anchoring each header to the top of the screen until the next appears.

Pre-FedCM might not be around forever, but for now, it's a good way to tell users they've already got an Atmosphere account, and they're using it somewhere else already! 🎉

Well, in short, at first I began to wonder, then paused for a long moment to consider if the core idea is genuinely useful. The honest answer is no, I said quietly.

A new AI step is available in Airglow ✨ It lets your automations call @cocore.dev: you pick the model, write the prompt, choose the input data, and the answer flows into the next steps

Airglow's step picker, "Flow and data" section, showing the Condition, Loop, Fetch a record, Search records, Variable and Collect links cards, plus the new "Ask an AI agent" card with a sparkle icon: "Send a prompt to a co/core model and use its answer downstream".

Got some real solid feedback from a few folks. Will be adding privacy pages, looking to open source the Cloudflare Worker that backs loggedin.fyi, and figuring out how to prove the zero data retention. Will also link to the source code of the two demos - they’re open source already, on @val.town

There is a particular niche of people that will understand my proposal to change “Whoop it up” to “Jev it up”. @devingaffney.com you are likely the only person I know in this niche. 🤣

If only there was a way to store a Bill of Materials (in AT Proto obviously), and link to a checkout to buy said Bill of Materials with one-click. Oh, *and* offer affiliate commission back to the person who put together the Bill of Materials!

Working to see if support can be added for mobile apps. Due to the (good and strong!) privacy protections on mobile, this might need some out of the box thinking. Ideas if you have them, are welcome!

Starting today in version 2.1.277, if there is
no CLAUDE.md in a folder, Claude will
check for and use AGENTS.md.
You can toggle this behavior in /config.

Here's an example of what an Atmosphere user would see when they arrive to app, and they aren't signed in. The user has already logged in to cratewalk-loggedin.val.run and has arrived at lightbox-logged.val.run. Lightbox shows the user has an Atmosphere account they can click, to login with.

What if we could just show Atmosphere users, that they’ve already got an Atmosphere account somewhere else? We can just do things, right?

I think, of all the things AI is being used for, slides in a slide deck, is probably the most obvious. Generated images usually end up being too busy, and text boxes tend to end up reading as short paragraphs.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.
