Reposted by Cooper EdmundsFenarinarsa @fenarinarsa.com · 06/02/2024Welcome! The real power of Bluesky lies in ✨Feeds✨. Go to bsky menu > # Feeds You can look for your hobbies, fandoms or anything else. They're custom dynamic algorithmic timelines created by other users that you can pin to your home. A recommended one is "For You" created by @skygaze.io 😌 02620

Cooper Edmunds @cooperedmunds.bsky.social · 04/02/2024Building a great social experience isn't just eng—there are tons of nuanced, non-tech decisions—but the eng is necessary (and very hard). The beauty of at proto is it abstracts away a lot of the eng work so people _can_ focus on the hard non-eng work 1165

Cooper Edmunds @cooperedmunds.bsky.social · 24/12/2023Two goals: 1) For You gives you what you want; no need to look under the hood or tweak anything 2) If you’re interested, you can fully understand and control your algorithm People trying out Bluesky expect #1–without it they’ll leave. But I hope #2 shows them this place is different & special 182

Cooper Edmunds @cooperedmunds.bsky.social · 21/12/2023I mostly forgot about Covid. But Covid did not forget about me. 🤮 At least Twitter went down and sent a bunch of traffic here last night 🤩 040
Cooper Edmunds @cooperedmunds.bsky.social · 20/12/2023On days of big growth, it’s motivating to imagine a future point at which today’s numbers will seem tiny and disappointing. “20k sign ups? Damn, slow day” 010
Cooper Edmunds @cooperedmunds.bsky.social · 18/12/2023Right now skygaze.io just shows you the bluesky equivalent of accounts you follow or interact with on Twitter. I’m considering adding a section that suggests other bsky accounts that are _similar to_ the ones from Twitterskygaze.ioImport your Twitter Follows to Bluesky 131
Cooper Edmunds @cooperedmunds.bsky.social · 18/12/2023I’ve been using @graysky.app pro for my personal and bluesky’s client for the @skygaze.io account for the last couple days. Forming a funny vibe association between the apps and accts. Highly recommend 051

Cooper Edmunds @cooperedmunds.bsky.social · 18/12/2023The downside of building For You is whenever I use it I just think about why the algo is showing me that particular post. No doomscrolling in peace 280
Cooper Edmunds @cooperedmunds.bsky.social · 17/12/2023I wrote a small part of the twitter import tool in vanilla javascript and I don’t know how I ever lived like this 110
Cooper Edmunds @cooperedmunds.bsky.social · 17/12/2023I’m designing a page that lets you select the topics you don’t want to see on your For You page. What topics / themes / whatever do you want to be able to mute? 450
