I don't think post views are available in the api? Based on my understanding of the protocol it wouldn't make sense to have post views as posts are viewable across any app which uses the At protocol.

I think you'll need the source code to do that. The library is targeted at developers to test their own apps which are built from source 🙂

Web Dev tip 🔥 Did you know you can get a png of any DOM Node by simply right clicking on the markup in the dev tools and selecting 'capture node screenshot'? 📸 Here is an example of some of my new followers as a png. Really handy for all sorts of things! 🙂

If anyone is using react native and looking for observability solutions, we just open sourced our faro react native sdk. This was my first hackathon project for grafana, hopefully it might help you out. 👍🙂 github.com/grafana/faro...

Hello, thanks for reporting this, and sorry for the late reply. I have been taking a break from social media. I just tried and it looks OK now. Hopefully an intermittent blip on blueskys side 🙂

Maybe it was posted before the the image had a chance to be processed, and it's a bit of a race condition. I'm not sure tbh. 😅 Id like to get back on blueview.app, but I've been taking a break from social media recently.

I don't use the Samsung apps at all. I really dislike them. I much prefer using stock android / Google apps when I can. Maybe it's time for a change. I had a play with it today and it looked really nice.

Thanks for sharing! My main use case is to take photos of my family. My boys are growing up so fast and I know I'll want to look back on these days with fond memories so crystal clear pictures is a priority now 🙂

How do you find the camera? I've never really thought the camera on the galaxy was great tbh, especially when I compare to iPhone. My photos always look kind of blurry. I would like to have better photos and the AI features to go with them.

Nice, what do you prefer about them? How are the cameras?

Have any of my followers ever switched from a Samsung galaxy phone to a pixel? I've got the itch to switch phones, but I'm not sure if pixels are decent? My main concern is with the processor. I don't do any gaming, just standard use. I've had Samsung galaxy phones since the s3.

Voice notes. Convenient for the sender. Absolute nightmare for the recipient. Do the right thing. Take the time to type the message. 🙂

But you could just record the note to yourself, you don't need to send it. My original message is regarding sending voice notes to other people..

Simon Holmes @srsholmes.com · 13/08/2025
If you don't care about people listening to it, then why are you sending it to them? Are you just speaking into the void?

I can see the value with that use case, but I would still allow it to be committed and then fail a check in CI. If the code needs to be linted / formatted then it can be handled during PR creation / cleanup. I really hate the idea of not being able to commit because of a failing rule.

Pre commit hooks are the devil and you can't convince me otherwise. 😅

I've been practicing some leetcode recently. I've found that I can't answer questions which I successfully did back in 2020. Does that mean I've got worse as a programmer over the past 5 years? 😂

I always get caught out by this! I think it's the muscle memory of doing 'cmd+r' for refresh in Web apps, which I think starts the recording on the simulator. I have so many recordings I never meant to make 🤣

I went on a bike ride today with a mate and got a puncture. Thanks goodness he's very switched on and had a replacement inner tube. I had no idea what I was doing. Time to nerd up a bit and start learning more about bike maintenance / cycling. 🚵

Interesting. I was a @webstorm.jetbrains.com user for many years but switched during the ai race. I should probably give it another go now things have calmed down a bit.
