Hey uhh, while all of yall are here: If you like smelling good and want to better understand your own tastes with fragrances/perfumes I would appreciate you taking the time to tell me why my app sucks #AtmosphereConf -
alpha.drydown.social / @drydown.social
At some point in the medium to long term future, I'd love to run contests where I send out unlabeled decants and whoever logs the scent notes accurately first (or something) wins a retail bottle. Feels like that would be fun.
behind the scenes I've been writing some internal docs and plans for @drydown.social which is why publicly less has been done*. More is coming for the alpha as the beta is a long ways out, but things are happening.
* and it has nothing to do with buying Pokopia. Nope. Not at all related.
Added support for @drydown.social profiles, @aetheros.computer IDs & @atvouch.dev data via Philpax's graph viewer (link shown if you have made 1+ vouch).
Going to be looking into supporting standard site publications better in the near future.
If you want to be on social media free from “AI”, try @drydown.social. AI can’t join due to being nostrily-challenged.

★★★★☆
Clean skin scent, slightly sweet but not overpowering. Drydown is musky but still light and wearable in a warm day.

the meme of Marge Simpson holding a potato with the caption "I just think they're neat. the text "atproto" is overlayed on the potato.
sorry, I'll stop talking like a dweeb on main.
as always, this data is yours though. Even now, if someone had ideas on how to build a better drydown competitor and was motivated to do so, they could build something using your existing reviews and data. In a way, the next drydown version will actually be proof of that! no migration needed.
small update: all drydown dot social links will now redirect to alpha.drydown.social. this is the initial very messy version of drydown and soon (as in a couple weeks) I'll *start* working on a version that is: faster, more stable, more accessible, better designed.
That's true. And I can suggest tags based on what the fragrance already has. I could also suggest scents based on what other reviewers tagged 🤔
decants for Gris Charnel, and then three from Tauer just arrived 👀 (Rose De Kandahar, Desert Marocain, and Maghreb)
I'm leaning toward the latter since you can always mention the scents you experience in your written review. This might help surface info like how accurate certain houses are or in which stage certain notes come up for people. The trade off is it's more restrictive on you all.
if/when Drydown supports recording scent notes would it be better for you to add *any* scent notes to your review or would it be better to confirm/deny smelling the notes the producer claimed was apparent?
you *may* need to sign out and in again, but you can now update your preferences in @drydown.social. This lets you impact the final score in your reviews based on what you value and what you don't. You can even use that to change how *other* reviews display just for you.

Screenshot of the Drydown app’s “Edit House” page on mobile. The page shows a text field with the house name “Creed” and two buttons: “Save Changes” (blue) and “Cancel.” Below is a “Danger Zone” section outlined in red, warning that 2 fragrances are connected to this house and must be migrated before deletion. It includes a “Search houses…” input field and an orange “Migrate 2 Fragrances” button. The footer notes that Drydown is an early experiment with accessibility improvements in progress.
You can now migrate your fragrance records to a different house. Think of it as: “this account is a better steward for this brand’s data, let me connect my stuff there instead.” Migrating reviews to a new fragrance will come later as well.

One of the things I am *most* excited for with @drydown.social is that:
1. the list of houses and fragrances in the autocomplete is populated by my bluesky social graph
2. I can attach my review of a fragrance to someone else's data.
3. it impacts their data here:
drydown.social/profile/did:...
a screenshot of the oauth permission screen when signing in. This shows that drydown can only read some bluesky data like your profile photo and username and stuff. It can also read/write records for fragrances, houses, and reviews.
hell yeah, @drydown.social now uses a more strict scope to read and write your data. I probably should have did this sooner 😅.
New features/updates:
1. more info in profiles
2. an explore feed
3. pages for houses with their own stats
4. edit houses
5. delete reviews
6. sort reviews by recent or score
