Nice. I was confused for a bit because I couldn't see a way to sign in to Rocksky (my browser window was too narrow). Thanks!

Exactly. It should be way easier to own your adventure data and do useful stuff with it. That's what the first version I'm working on is going to help facilitate.

🙌 What do you like most about onX? I know they are huge in the hunting space and growing into fishing and backcountry stuff (hiking, mtb, skiing, etc).

Is there currently a way to share my track plays to @teal.fm and/or @rocksky.app without running my own scrobbling service?

+1 for Notes app! I'm also heavy on Trailforks and RideWithGPS, which are pretty bike-centric.

I've been exploring some ideas for activity sharing and adventure route planning on atproto - will be looking for folks to help start testing soon. Here's a quick look:

I asked Claude Code to build a joke based network using the atproto skill, and it pretty much one-shotted this app complete with lexicon validation, jetstream integration, etc. Wild.

Simon has a great post about skills, how they work, and what they mean for the ecosystem:

Made a quick #atproto "agent skill" for claude code that pulls in all the current atproto.com docs and reference implementations so claude can use them to help you build atproto stuff. Check it out: tangled.org/@brianell.in...

@baileytownsend.dev is it possible to add a blob of an arbitrary file type via AT Toolbox? For example a .gpx file from a garmin device that I've saved to my iphone. I want to attach that as a blob to another record via a shortcut.

Would you be willing to share more about your Claude + Notion job search workflow thing? I'd be curious to try out something like that for a few regular tasks i do.

Tonight we watched the new Jurassic Park movie, and at the very end after the credits started rolling my 10yo daughter said “and that’s why you don’t eat snickers” 🤯

It was more useful / interesting before all the other ai companies had web search and deep research. Now what it does feels like a commodity.
