Reposting some design work from X to Bluesky (sorry if you’ve seen it before!) This is one of our most heavily used components, coming with the new Daybridge iOS design language shipping in V1 - really happy with how it turned out! #design #ux #ui

when you like a post, you create an "app.bsky.feed.like" (a type) record in *your* repository. that like is *your* data. that like references an "app.bsky.feed.post" record of whoever wrote the post you liked. that post lives in *their* repository. that post is *their* data.

screenshot of text: All web APIs that work with media files use a "no/maybe/probably" approach (or, in this case, "no or probably") when determining if a media type can be used. This is because media files are complex, intricate constructs with far too many subtle variations to be absolutely certain of anything until you actually use the contents of the media.

Information density is seriously under appreciated, usually because aesthetically/superficially it does tend to appear uglier. Gmail screwed this up, so does the newer Reddit UIs, and so do most apps really. Hard to be the person arguing for the “uglier” option. (Not my screenshot)

The ability to host your own content has been core to the modern web for a long time. Now we have a wider selection of protocols that allow us to replicate what only large scale centralized services where able to do, and the experience of those who have done it before.
