Hey @mu.social, I’m noticing quite a lot of “deleted post” references at the moment on the Eurosky & Blacksky AppViews on the mu iOS app specifically, are you aware of anything wrong? (The website was fine) This is the post: mu.social/profile/gui....
gui.do’s post on Eurosky AppView, it has a deleted quoted post gui.do’s post on Bluesky AppView, with a quoted post by Sifa.id

Love it! Sent up ☺️ I’m worried this question get skewed low results though, as this looks like it’s already at max!
Question “How do you feel about the AT Protocol overall?” But “best thing on the internet” (max) is left aligned so it looks like the selected number (5/10) is “best thing on the internet”

This is so cool! I'm swapping countries for a holiday tomorrow, so this is perfect timing too ☺️ I do think it'd be handy to allow deck renaming tho, and to put the language name in the "Survival vocabulary" decks' name, or eagre folks like me are faced with this 😅
The "Study" page listing three languages' "Survival vocabulary" decks… but which is which?Picking one at random, and the flash card doesn't mention what language either, so it's something of a guess!

Oops, sorry! It’s a lexicon for writing super simple reviews of things behind at-uris. Any number of (adjective + direction) tags where direction is “is” or “is not” etc. Here’s me reviewing the excellent video game “Time Flies” on my demo site for the lexicon 😊 isnot.at/reviews/at:/...

Love this single-purpose app! I checked the size, cos I’m data roaming, and nearly exploded that it needed 667MB… then realised it’s 667 *kilobytes* 😂 (even less compressed for download!)
App Store dialog: “The app download size is 263 KB.

Asteroid now offers both a (private) spaces webhook, and a public one. I have the public hook set up to my double-click-and-hold action, so mt 'normal' recordings stay private, but I can send my voice to atproto if I want!

Okay so the Pebble Index 01 is really cool. I'm gonna need to hack the hell out of it though; the software is functional (and remarkably good & quick), but definitely early stage quality.

Do any of you use a Yoto music player? (For your kids, or for yourself cos they're so damned cool?) I built yom.byjp.me for easily getting Your Own Music (from Plex, or zips from eg. @subvert.fm or Bandcamp) into your Yoto account, so you can listen to it on a Make Your Own card!

I get how that uses `link rel="…"` to verify a *page* is a given record, but I think we'd need to extend it to denote that an *element* on a page is derived from a given atproto record, unless I'm missing something? (eg. each of the StS2 runs on the left column here: sts2.byjp.me/did:plc:ephk...)

I made a Chrome/Firefox/Safari extension that detects RDFa 'resource' tagged AT URIs on websites, and lets you interact with them! If we #atprotodevs add: typeof="schema:Thing" resource="at://{your-uri}" to elements derived from atproto records, there's now a way to crosslink ☺️ (Links below)

Okay! So I added RDFa resource tags to my Slay the Spire 2 atproto app; elements on the page now point to their AT URI counterparts! sts2.byjp.me/did:plc:ephk... I may try and build a browser extension that highlights these more naturally for atproto tomorrow!

Hey @glidespan.app, I'm struggling logging into Glidespan! Using an app password shows a red, clipped "Authentication failed" error, and using my (now rotated) account password "works" but causes JWT errors when the app opens. I use a non-bsky PDS (with 2FA), could that be an issue?

My now wife proposed to me, so I have both a wedding band and this gold Möbius band for the engagement! 💛 She knows I’m a nerd, and liked the “two and one” symbology 😍 (like, if you cut a Möbius band directly down its centre, you get two, interlocked but separate, Möbius bands)

Hey @kagi.com — sharing a point from maps.kagi.com doesn't actually show the target point right now. Am I doing something wrong? No 'pin' on the map, the target point isn't on the screen (this time), and the URL shows the lat/long in three places, two of which are wrong 😅 kagi.com/maps/info?q=...
