@cerulea/lexicon is now up on JSR. it's a library for defining lexicons *in TypeScript* (the schema code generates the schema doc, instead of the other way around as with `@atproto/lex` et al) and you also get a nice record validator/builder API at the same time

screenshot of a code block showing example use of @cerulea/lexicon - it defines a "Post" record with a "Facet" array as well as a "getPost" lexicon RPC query

> repo history viewing is an integral feature of a git web interface, though, so we serve the .git directory directly, implement a basic read-only git client in JavaScript, and then client-side render all the “rich views” of the repository sickos yes.png

i wrote a list of some software talks that i think you should watch if you're the type of person who enjoys that. they're all mostly about the metaphysics of simplicity and the weight of the practice. one of them is about a common pattern that appears between disciplines. they're all excellent

broken record ik but it's very unfortunate that this is set in past tense when PDS -> app service proxying is key to actual use cases of altering undesired app behavior today (e.g. age assurance circumvention, feedgen sponsored item elision, etc)

alternatively the pds could generate some state that only the client needs to know and shove it in the fragment part of the uri on post-oauth redirection. then you make your requests with the token + the server's assertion that the client secret is known + the client-only state

the idea of a bluesky client having to proxy requests to a server who could be logging god knows what just so i don't get logged out at the end of the week disgusts me

the best action Bluesky PBC can take to further indiesky decentralization development is to abolish their on-call rotation for a day or two and let everyone on the team chill out and have a little downtime maybe

not really anything inventive here but in case you wanted to have a did:plc rotation key as a 24-word bip39 mnemonic phrase i made paper-k256.umm.gay - i haven't made a wizard or instructions for adding it to your own doc yet but i am just using boat.kelinci.net for now

i think the phrasing flows really well and i like saying it but honestly "beautiful trans woman" as a noun phrase is lowkey tautological

the demotion of service proxying in favor of app-first optimistic writes to make writing an atproto app easier feels like ulysses going "dude cut just a couple of the coils of rope bro itll make it easier for me to hear the song if i can move a bit"
