super surprised to see the speaker lineup for svelte summit later this year is 100% men?! sometimes i forget what tech is like outside my bubbles 😅

ux friends, does anyone have any resources (papers, studies, blog posts, talks, ...) exploring canvas interfaces, node base uis, that kind of thing... there's a wealth for visual programming but im struggling to find the same interest in other kinds of canvas apps/interfaces.

this is potentially a spicy take but i think i'm way more excited at the thought of a scrappy open web where apps are coming up with niche/specific lexicons vs a heavily standardised one where custom lexicons are discouraged in favour of maximal interop 🧐

how do i convince* @bsky.app to add an edit button? also asking for me

I want to build a lexicon explorer: punch in the name of a lexicon and get a visualisation of all the lexicons it references, a bit like a database schema explorer. are there any features or info in particular folks would find cool or useful in an app like that 🤔

im super excited for this one, i think it’ll be a light bulb moment for some of the really cool things lustre can do

atproto people, are there any ts libraries for fetching schemas at runtime. a bit like bluesky's `lex` tool but programmatic rather than a cli. i want to fetch and introspect lexicons to visualise them.

all the vibe coded apps is really killing my atproto enthusiasm icl gang, do folks have some recommendations for Organic Free Range atproto apps they like?

why does every little atproto app being cooked up rn have to have a frontend Designed By Claude ™️ why are we so hyped about social data and an open internet and then turning to ai when its time to create and play

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 05/08/2026

i was *so* hyped when i saw this submission come in. this one is going to be really fun

shhhhhh don't tell anyone

A remix of the "cooby doo mask reveal meme." In the first frame, a character labelled "atproto" stands in front of a masked villain labelled "a renewed vision of the internet." In the next frame the mask is removed, with the villian's label now reading "left-leaning politics."

london gleamlins, come join us on the 18th of august for a meetup! @renatillas.dev will be talking to us about event sourcing, and i'll of course be preaching the good word about #atproto and maybe there'll be a little surprise launch too 🤭 luma.com/vacn20ag

now you can achieve oauth too* tangled.org/hayleigh.dev... *if you use `at` as a git dep

If you're seeing this then we've achieved oauth 🫡

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 01/08/2026

hype for this immediately disappeared the moment i saw it was in the US 😔

1150

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 01/08/2026

implementing atproto oauth got me dizzzyyy 😵‍💫 because gleam supports two targets with different concurrency methods the preferred approach is "sans-io" where the api doesnt perform async operations directly but instead exposes functions to construct requests, decode responses, etc...

do i know any folks in london with a space i could swing by and cowork in one day next week?

i added a bunch of ai-related words to my mutelist and now all my feeds are fucking clanker accounts sprouting nonsense what bullshit is this

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 28/07/2026

its always so fun to come across things built with @xyflow.com in the wild 💕doubly so when its atproto too ^.^

1111

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 27/07/2026

please nobody fill this out. some folks are suspicious that its from the dept of geography, but the suspicious part is there is no information sheet on who the researcher is or the purpose/use of the data collected. no ethics committee would allow this not least cambridge. please dont fill it out

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 27/07/2026

nobody asked by here's my take on the lexicon discourse... schemas describe structure but they don't dictate semantics. you cant (and shouldnt) change that! its good and by design that records can be re-interpreted by other apps.

1312

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 24/07/2026

was making some progress on lexi (lexicon codegen tool for gleam) thinking "oh i wont worry about circular references for now, im sure they dont come up often"... only to discover they come up immediately when fetching lexicons referenced by app.bsky.feed.post womp womp

2350

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 21/07/2026

ignoring the fact the code is literally The Worst, i thought building a lexgen cli would be a good way to dogfood `at` its not much but working out how to resolve the actual lexicon json just from the name was pretty satisfying 😌

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 21/07/2026

are there any gleam sympthatic orgs in london that might donate some space for a meetup next month 👀 what if we made it atproto flavoured 👁️👄👁️

i get that this is nice for some folks but if i did this then the only time i’d get to spend on my favourite hobby would be: - my job - staying up too late in the week … i mean i do that too but why not use the weekends too!

relationship with atproto rapidly deteriorating as i descend into madness reading these specs

10870

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 18/07/2026

anyone know where i can find some good test data to test my cbor implementation for `at`? seems kinda tricky to find good robust tests from other communities, the dasl-testing fixtures are super minimal for example tangled.org/hayleigh.dev...

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 16/07/2026

much to the disappointment of my peers i've started working on Yet Another Atproto Library For Gleam ™️ which i think puts us at three WIPs not counting the vibe coded one. obviously *my* wheel is gonna be the best one though 😌

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 15/07/2026

i kind of ended up at @localfirstconf.com on a whim, im adjacent to a lot folks in that space but not really a part of it. walked away after yesterday having never felt so enthused and energised after a conf. @inkandswitch.com in particular are something really special. if you can, go next year.

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 14/07/2026

it was a long time brewing but im definitely atprotopilled now.

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 13/07/2026

@localfirstconf.com has been so inspiring today, definitely a lot of ideas churning

the haters said it couldnt be done! i guess its time to retire lustre 😭

hayleigh @hayleigh.dev · 28/06/2026

seems like every other package published to hex these days has been vibe coded,, are there any discussions in the BEAM community about the long-term effects this is gonna have on our package ecosystem?

keeping up with interesting projects is such a chore now that every other post is about some new slopped app/library 😔 makes finding new things so difficult

does anyone know any nice high-quality coding-focus discord servers? used to be lots of the communities i was in had lots of good discussion around general ✨programming✨ things and a lot of that has been drying up recently drop a reply or DM me if you know somewhere please!
