@dazzle.fm's internal topic heatmap for Bluesky is now available to the public dazzle.fm/stats Seeing surges of discussion around a topic and working backwards to figure out what caused the spike is a fun past time The 1am science spike is still a mystery though

We're excited to preview "custom algorithms" for Bluesky on dazzle.fm/algorithms! This is a really early beta which allows you to create your own algorithms through simple text prompts.

Here's another one. You can clearly see surges in discussion around the Super Bowl and the half-time show.

Note: this is still a bit less real-time than I’d like. I suspect CloudFlare is adding some buffering to the responses. Will tackle that next. In the meantime, enjoy!

While on the one hand, I appreciate the new "Trending" section on @bsky.app, I really want to see slightly less trendy trends. What's popular to a few thousand of us, rather than hundreds of thousands of us. My suspicion is there are more trends related to cats and kindness at that measure.

Finally got around to shipping some critical performance improvements on the firehose side of @dazzle.fm I should have done it sooner, it took a ton of DB pressure off

You can generate your own post volume graphs here: bsky.dazzle.tools The trending page isn't public yet as it needs some additional safe guards put in place before release, mostly due to unlabeled nudity like this trend states:

give me a firehose and a gpu stand, and i will replicate x's radar and trending features on bsky. -- this project has been a ton of fun. it gave me an reason to dust off my golang skills, and also to fine-tune a custom embed model on bsky threads.

This is a neat idea to make desktop agents more knowledgable. Reminds me of LSPs for IDEs.
