That's so cool! The irony of using a workaround for bookmarks on a post talking about how to save bookmarks because there's no native way for bookmarks 😂

woah what's this 📌! Does help you get notifications about the post?

#ATmosphereConf was amazing!!

if you missed my talk, here's a quick recap:

introducing bookmarksky - private bookmarks on bluesky!!

a chrome extension that adds a bookmark button to every post, directly on the app

anon, what if you could train your own personal offline model, on your phone, suited to your tastes, filtering posts with ~ bad vibes ~ and letting good ones through?

well, have i got the thing for you

Ah noo!

a lil snippet of my @dweb.bsky.social demo from yesterday

ft. schema interop:
bi-directional realtime sync between two local-first apps ✨

full talk coming soon :)

@didamay.bsky.social i sent you your acceptance to lofihack but some emails aren't making it to inboxes, DM if you didn't get yours!

I struggle to get my bluesky feed going

What am I doing wrong? Who should I be following?

He’s adorable 🥺🥺

I wonder if one verbose, but possible, option would be a translation layer with an LLM (since theyre pretty good at translations) instead of introducing another format
