Working on something new in @sequoia.pub: support for @standard.site's site.standard.graph.recommend! Need to work out how best to re-auth for new OAuth scopes, but otherwise works similar to the Subscribe button I added a while back.
Screenshot of a new Recommend button with an outline of a heart above the existing "Reply on Bluesky" button already available with the sequoia-comment component.

The Bluesky outage reminded me how awful this format is for my mental health, so I’ll be logging off. - Will continue to build Sequoia, open issues on @tangled.org - If you want to contact me you can find methods on my website /links - Make a blog, send me your RSS

Thanks to the awesome atproto community advice, docs.surf lives to see another day! Was able to create a closed loop on Cloudflare and cut my usage to practically nothing. Should be stable for months to come!

Hate to say it, but I might need to stop my indexer for docs.surf. It’s. Fun little project, but the costs are slowly creeping upwards as standard.site continues to grow. Tap listening to every single record just eats up way too much egress.

Woohoo! I made two contributions to this @sequoia.pub release ✌🏼 1. Added a feature where you can add a custom bskyPostRef to the front matter that gets published with your @standard.site record. It also removes the link from the post, leaving it as an attachment only. (1/4 🧵)

Adds option for custom bskyPost text rather than just title, desc, and url. Also removes url from post text to save graphemes. · stevedylan.dev/sequoia@501c7bd

I've been absolutely swamped lately, but thanks to the atproto community, @sequoia.pub hasn't slowed down! Here's a quick rundown: A <sequoia-subscribe> web component that lets readers create a site.standard.graph.subscription record for your publication. Huge thanks to @heaths.dev for this!

I really misunderstood the strength of lexicons for decentralizing power in the Atmosphere. Atproto isn't an ecosystem, it's a foundation for creating parallel ecosystems.
