Didn't make much progress on theming this week, but I did complete a related side quest!
Switched hosting to cloudflare and now profile links (eg - atprofile.com/atprofile.com) no longer need a #
This change will allow for some BE stuff later too. Like maybe a theme registry or something
Thinking about things like how important is attribution? Should a theme author be able to revoke their theme? Or put another way should applying a theme to your profile reference the theme or copy the theme content?
Currently leaning towards somewhat, no, and copy
BTW the MySpace theme is done aside from some cleanup and comments.
I'm currently trying to figure out how best to implement themes in terms of #atproto #lexicon records.

So close!
Turns out it was only functional in firefox 😅
Screenshot of atproto.com profile editor highlighting a functioning music player with it's configuration inside of a work-in-progress myspace theme.
Oh heeeell yea! Functional music player? Check!
Tumblr, along with MySpace, are major inspirations for this project!
In AT Proto news, I'm thinking a lot about how to enable theme sharing. Something like a com.atprofile.beta.theme lexicon that people can apply to their own profiles
If anyone has thoughts on that I'd love to hear them!
#atproto #buildinpublic
I had a lot of fun making codepen.io/narkoleptika...
Apparently I need to add `allow-same-origin` to the profile renderer iframe if I want to embed it in a profile though :/
So I bought atprfl.com to serve the iframe from a separate origin.
Soon™
#buildinpublic #myspace
Ah it's an image link👌
Profile be lookin good btw 😎
How did you do the music player? Can I steal it? 😈
Screenshot of the atprofile.com profile editor showing a fun retro theme that's in progress.
Working on stuff and things :)
BTW that's not just the above the fold content...That's everything I have so far lol
#atproto #buildinpublic #myspace
Very interesting!
Maybe this is a "why not both?" situation
Hm starting to second guess this. It works great for simple records like a status. If you want to display posts though, you need to make additional requests to get linked content like a quoted post, for example.
Maybe I should scrap the whole context ui thing and just provide an api agent instead 🤔
Hi! If you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them!
Screenshot of the AT Profile edit page showing a new feature that allows you to add arbitrary lexicons. In the screenshot you can see the xyz.statusphere.status lexicon in use on the profile.
Just pushed an update that lets you add arbitrary lexicon records to your profile! The default profile now includes your most recent statusphere status if you have one. Check it out atprofile.com#/atprofile.com
#atproto #buildinpublic
Still working on this. I'm also starting to wonder if I should build out a full client that can display a blusky feed along with a new bulletin lexicon type that supports html/css/js like the profile. #buildinpublic
Just found @skyspace.me and it's pretty dang cool. I love the approach to customization. So clever!
My background doesn't work though :,(

#skyspace I'd like to meet other people who want to take back the internet from rigid platforms and despicable algorithms
I'm trying!
Who remembers MySpace?
Classic “clean all the things” meme from Hyperbole and a Half blog with text, “open source all the things.” The meme is a crappily drawn stick figure girl wearing a hot pink dress and a bright yellow flash behind her. Her fist is in the air and her mouth is open, as if in the middle of a war cry.
It delights me to know that there are apps being built on the Bluesky AT Protocol as replacements for just about every Big Tech social media platform. #skylight #flashes #atproto #opensource
Guest mode: you love to see it
In my case I really want the thing I'm building to exist because I want it. If other people want it to exist too that's just icing on the cake
Screenshot of the atprofile.com profile edit interface showing that you can use bluesky profile information.
Right now you can use your bluesky profile info in your custom profile. I'm thinking of adding a feature where you can add arbitrary lexicons to make other kinds of data available. eg - xyz.statusphere.status so you could include your current status in your custom profile. #buildinpublic
What is #buildinpublic? Does that mean I can get critical feedback from strangers on the thing I'm building? Cause that would be awesome!
Someone (other than me) just made their first profile woo!
It's a cool cat animation :D you love to see it
Thanks to them I was able to find a bug that prevented people from seeing other people's profile while logged in
