Josh @fjpaz.net · 26/02/2026> Saves are not public save count is though, right? while busy posts would probably be too noisy to match, and even on slower ones it’s always a guess, the (offhand) idea was that a coinciding like + save-increment could be taken as some kind of signal 010
Josh @fjpaz.net · 25/02/2026could take note of sequences of actions (eg like → follow; like → repost; reply → receive reply → reply to reply) could try to match saves to likes on posts could monitor like-unlike[-like], save-unsave[-save]s could observe how engagement spreads across small → broad clusters of follows 250
Josh @fjpaz.net · 25/02/2026my understanding is that For You is mostly or entirely likes-based, which is cool, but I think there’s always room for something more an incremental step could involve reposts, follows and in some way even blocks 180

Josh @fjpaz.net · 13/10/2025to this end some ideas from @are.na’s past feel like they’d make for nice atproto projects 020
Josh @fjpaz.net · 13/10/2025it’s my understanding that @maxbittker.bsky.social’s river.maxbittker.com was conceived as an atproto thing but for various reasons ended up an Are.na oneriver.maxbittker.comriver 060

Josh @fjpaz.net · 28/06/2025zed’s “text threads” support prefills & allow you to granularly trim/merge/create-new assistant+user messages before invoking the model it has no branching of any kind though and for that reason, despite enjoying that interface I prefer to use webUIs for chat + CC (w/ git + esc-to-rewind) for code 020
Josh @fjpaz.net · 26/06/2025zed did have more of a distinction (albeit a fluid one), but yes personally I was deeply disappointed by its move away from buffer-as-chat technically still available as somewhat downgraded "Text Threads" vs. standard threads / the new Cursor Agent clone 020

Josh @fjpaz.net · 09/06/2025while advanced voice doesn’t have regen or message editing (and honestly it really, really should), this means that you can kind of work around it by exiting voice and sending text messages to create “checkpoints” 021

You can pre-fill part of Claude's response in the last position of the input messages list. This can be used to shape Claude's response. The example below uses "max_tokens": 1 to get a single multiple choice answer from Claude
