Chris van der Loo @chrisvanderloo.com · 30/08/2026Finally built out a typeahead UI. I built an Astro component with limited JS and published it with npmx.dev/package/at-a.... 191
Chris van der Loo @chrisvanderloo.com · 24/08/2026Continuing my love affair with @astro.build, I built `at-astro`. It's an integration for Astro that manages the entire OAuth setup for ATProto AppViews and makes it easy to get an authenticated client. I just migrated @pixl.pics over to it! 130

Chris van der Loo @chrisvanderloo.com · 02/08/2026@tynanpurdy.com told me that "imgur on ATProto" would be really simple to build. So, here's my "hello world" of ATProto projects: a free image upload service called @pixl.pics. Try it out at pixl.pics. It's simple: view all of your images, and upload more.pixl.picspixl 5385
Chris van der Loo @chrisvanderloo.com · 02/08/2026I am really enjoying @tangled.org's CI setup. Nix pkgs, simple dependencies setup, and SSH progress is all very well done. I'm using Wrangler to deploy to @cloudflare.social, hoping that eventually there is a way to do OIDC with Tangled instead of long-lived tokens. 1120

Chris van der Loo @chrisvanderloo.com · 25/04/2026Quick tip: @zed.dev lets you use Ollama for tab-completion, so I use the `qwen2.5-coder:3b` model. If I had a machine with more memory, I might use a bigger model, but this one is reasonable and provides such a low-latency edit prediction experience that I love it. No server reliance here! 000
