FYI: If you are worried about privacy you should know you are not required to provide your address in your profile when registering your bikes.

New features:

* Users now can submit comments on a stolen bike report.
All communications are private between the two parties.

* A notification system including browser push notifications have been created.

I will likely also create a simple request for 3rd parties to ask for this information too where they provide you their information, you vet them then approve their request for access.

I think its best to leave any actionable behavior to that of the owner. it be only a read only. The point of the invite would be to have a starting point of who you allow to view personal protected information such as your address or phone.

FYI: You don't have to register your bike or provide any personal information to join and keep watch / get notified of stolen bikes in you area.

We need to build resilience by building community.
Support your community by joining and get notifications of thefts in your area.

Next on the roadmap:

Invite someone via email to view your profile.

Scenario:
You bike is stolen and you need to give the officer your information. We will allow you to enter their email address and grant them access to your bike registration and profile.

Q: You did get an email though correct?

In the works is a recovered option, but thats a part of a bigger feature I should have ready by next week.

bsky.app/profile/bike...

And its fixed. I had to adjust the size of the images I was uploading.

Fun fact. I scale images 100% client side and then upload directly via a signed url. No server side image scaling.

Thank you wasm + rust 🤌

You just found my first bug.

[error] [Bluesky.Client] createRecord failed "InvalidRequest", "message" => "Invalid app.bsky.feed.post record: blob too big (maximum 1000000, got 1335784) at $.record.embed.external.thumb"}

Welp looks like I'm trying to send too big of img

Currently its hard coded to a 25 mile radius of the location you set in your profile.

But I love the idea, will add to our backlog.
And yes that is completely do able, all that said it maybe a little time before its useful.

@clapptrap.bsky.social You have officially won the title of our first user! 🎉🚀🎈🫶

Should mention that bluesky profile links can be disabled via a option in the profile settings.

We now support two ways to register without setting a password on our server which is better security for everyone!.

You can now register via email links or via bluesky.

We are cooking today! 🧑‍🍳

* Bluesky OAuth for reg/login 🟢

* Bluesky Profile in stolen bikes report and bot posts 🟢

* Location based search 🟢
