Tired of re-entering the same values for your coffee brews every time into @arabica.social? We added autofill based on most common values for each brew variable!

Live with the new UI!!! Should (hopefully?) be faster now that its mostly client side rendered! Let me know if you have thoughts, suggestions, or run into bugs!

I added a view page for song shares on atjams.pdewey.com!

Added a new "notes" field to the @arabica.social brew lexicon! Now you can add roaster descriptions/tasting notes and your own notes about a bean! Adding an new bean also has its own form page now (it had too many fields already).

deepseek approves, seems cool

Screenshot of: "a dark terminal-like window showing a markdown explanation titled “What ATProto Actually Is.” The text explains that ATProto is a federated protocol for decentralized social applications, not a blockchain or peer-to-peer system. It outlines the three-tier architecture of Client Apps, PDS, Relay, and AppView; describes the data model, identity system, rough edges, and reference implementations; and concludes that ATProto is real but still largely Bluesky-operated in practice."

Cross the song sharing site off the list, I think I'm pretty much done with this one for now. (You can paste in song links from whatever streaming service, or pull from current/recent teal.fm scrobbles) atjams.pdewey.com

oh wow it does work. I guess I'll have some cursed stuff to show off at work tomorrow

Also the pinboard design I'm working on is looking pretty cool (its better in light mode than in dark mode)
