I need a new phone in a bad way. Currently have a Motorola moto g stylus on its deathbed. Can't bring myself to spend more than $250 despite it being the most important object a person owns in modern society. Any suggestions?

Living in the Midwest I always read these headlines as "people in my community are going to lose their jobs". I'm all for advancing society as a startup founder myself but people I know are always in harm's way as a result of these advancements. What's the solution for this?

Every day for 7 years I wake up and the Nintendo Switch 2 is leaked, confirmed, set to be revealed at any moment. It never ends. We live, we die, we live again. Switch 2 is a simulation. Gaming is the government. We are trapped inside the metaverse.

🚨 Hey! I'm excited to finally share phase one of my latest project with you: grabahandle.com! Funny domain names are just the start, I've realized that Bsky handles can be used for so much more than handles on other platforms can. I'm looking forward to showing you what we can do. #buildinpublic

Tomorrow I'm sharing my first Bluesky project, hopefully the first of many. Put some crazy hours into this over the past week and I'm excited for people to try it. Wanted to make something useful and fun, so I built the easiest way to grab fun new handles for your Bluesky profile... with a twist.

Happy #Thanksgiving all, and welcome to everyone joining Bluesky tonight for any of the many reasons someone might join Bluesky after Thanksgiving. Check out some starter packs, find some people posting about things you're interested in, and enjoy.

Speed is such a fun movie. Just the right amount of suspense and action movie cliches. The premise of an action movie that almost entirely takes place on a bus is funny on paper but it's a genuinely good time. The stakes just get higher and higher until it ends.

Ever wanted to know the amount of profanity flowing through Bluesky at any one moment? Me neither, but I still ended up making this: SwearSky, a flow of foul language uttered by Bluesky users. ⚠️ NSFW ⚠️ as it literally yells swear words at you.

Finally got Bluesky login working on the new site I've been building. If any #buildinpublic folks need help with it hit me up. Not sure if the atproto SDK for NodeJS could use some deeper docs or if I'm just not used to the design patterns it uses. Anyways, excited to share this project very soon.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

Has anyone messed with Oauth in the Bluesky SDKs? Trying to figure out when you need to refresh the user's Oauth session or if that's even necessary (some of the docs make it sound like sessions are auto refreshed as needed when its token is used).

I've been working on a new thing for Blueskyers that I hope you'll enjoy. I've been inspired by all the awesome devs I've seen and met on this here website and the cool creations they've shared. Very excited to be joining the action soon. #buildinpublic

@zeu.dev Hi! Saw your "myb" project, very cool. You have the only example I've seen of Bsky Oauth that has the user log in on the Bsky website and I'm trying to figure out how to do this too. How did you do it? Haven't found docs for this. Thanks!

The only tool I use more than VSCode is @tldraw.bsky.social, seriously. I try to tell other developers about tldraw every chance I get, it's the best and most frictionless thing I've found for organizing thoughts, making decisions, designing systems, and generally just figuring shit out. tldraw.com

IF YOU WERE PART OF TECH TWITTER IN ANY WAY, can you comment here so we can find everyone we knew in the community. I feel like I am going crazy trying to search for accounts and it is exhausting. Can we get a thread going on of everyone? Let's bring the community back together over here.
