Now in the Colibri spaces alpha: multi-activity and game activities! We've been developing a lexicon for game activity sharing in the ATProto Games WG and it's slowly getting ready. You can use sync.atplay.games to link your Steam and Discord, then head to spaces.colibri.social/app to try it out!

@bomb.sh @natemoo.re Is this a thing that's just not around yet, will this be published soon...? Would there be an option for a pre-release that I could play around with, maybe? 👀

I've heard all the cool kids prep their talk slides on the train to the event and share a slide, so here's mine

#atproto #ui #ux Dear UX & ATproto knowers, how should @colibri.social present sign-up opportunities to new users? I'm not talking people who know ATproto, I'm talking complete newbies. Here's the current ones, consensus on stream was they're too technical. How might that flow work?

What if we followed that up with activity support for @atradio.fm and @rocksky.app? That'd be crazy, right? Now live on the spaces alpha of @colibri.social spaces.colibri.social/app

This would include Desktop as well, of course. Here's the current state of that (missing a lot from the phone version above as I did mobile-first for once):

And here's an experimental inbox! This may or may not get replaced with DMs and friends, or combined with them... depends on how much work I can put in until spaces are considered stable.

I guess this is the part where I mention what I've been cooking for @colibri.social besides the Spaces work. Still WIP, but a step towards a polished release UI that feels presentable. Feedback appreciated!

First ever stream is over! Had a blast, thanks everyone for being there and being awesome. Here's the abomination we created while exploring spaces, the app, and the proposal for you all to enjoy.

And here's the desktop! Still got lots of customizing to do, but I'd say this is good enough for Day 1.

Do you think this would work fine, as an in-between variant?

I've checked it at small sizes too, it works in my opinion (48x48px):

Here's flat versions, plus how they'd look on Apple's dark glass mode:

@sifa.id found another thing! The employment type drop-down seems to show the NSID instead of the label:

Unfortunately, yesterday, we had to say goodbye to the bestest girl ever, our family dog Kira, who I've known since I was seven years old. She passed away peacefully in her sleep at 13 years of age after having been able to see all of us one last time. Thanks for the memories, you goofball.
