@zzstoatzz.io and I were talking earlier about setting up some kind of regular hang for atproto hackers and the like. Let us know if you’re interested!
Could be a place to share a new project, talk about patterns/pain points, etc

hey atproto hackers and enthusiasts!
@chadtmiller.com and I were just chatting and we were thinking it'd be fun to get a regular video call hangout going
i don't think we really care if its discord, zoom, gmeet etc
who would join?

on a kick to simplify and extracted my ideas for what a lexicon graphql mapping looks like from quickslice into a separate standalone .js library. very poc stage with some stuff likely to change but i've got a basic statusphere example working with tap.

making progress on pds.js tangled.org/chadtmiller...., there's something to be said about starting with the simplest possible implementation and working your way up from there. the core logic, at least, is zero dep, with a hexagonal architecture that allows different functionality via ports/adapters

a cool feature of the comment model in @grain.social is being able to comment on a particular photo in a gallery, something a lot of other social apps don’t have @goose.art 📸

If anyone wants to try the next version of @grain.social, kind of just letting it simmer on next.grain.social for a bit. it's basically peak quickslice, all views are hydrated via graphql (favs, comments, follows, etc). no complicated lexicon view defs. notifications, create moderation reports, etc

pds.js oauth coming in hot

pretty awesome, pds.js already getting used for hacking on new patterns
s/o @chadtmiller.com for being a mad lad w pds.js which i forked and extended w xrpc endpoints to impl an inbox (maybe this is reasonable? not sure)

i think i waited too long to give cloudflare workers/R2 a try, the tooling anyways is really nice to work with, and easy to mock locally
