sneak peek of a little atproto app i’ve been working on. it’s called sidetrail

it is for sharing “trails”. a trail is a sequence of stops where you do, learn, or think. a trail feels personal — it is whatever “worked for you”

This is really a proof of concept at this point rather production ready tooling, but it does work.

@dholms.xyz @ngerakines.me I think there's a thing in here that's worth talking about. The lib here uses an app password, and @chadtmiller.com's pattern for slices isn't relevant cause there's no AIP instance in the picture. But making it easy for folks to oAuth tools like this seems important.

I gave a talk last night about "Living dangerously with Claude", on the joys and perils of --dangerously-skip-permissions and how critical it is that we run coding agents in a sandbox so that we can unlock their full potential simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/22/...

In past side projects i would never bother to make a UI, or I would just have a janky CLI that interacts with everything, having Claude make me a simple little web interface for things now is really nice, even if its not “good” it’s very helpful and makes things more fun to keep working on

It has

1. Made the appview configurable on a fork of the first party client.

2. Is making the domains the little links like feedback, privacy etc customizable and configurable too.

3. Making it easy to rebrand an Aurora Compass client (our new branding!) or you will be able to keep it as is.

Interchangeability is what new social platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon are doing, though with different technologies and different ideas on how to do it.

When you hear talk about decentralization, it's about making the social platforms interchangeable to solve the neutrality problem.
Social platforms are not neutral
So they need to be interchangeable

ATProto is a team sport - we build better together. That's why, effective today, we're opening up access to the enriched archive we use to power Graze, so anyone can build great services on top of ATProto without reinventing the wheel. Read more in the @leaflet.pub post below for details!

Remember all complaints about Taylor Swift are about a woman who wants to win and does and that makes them mad. There is zero reason to be mad about Taylor Swift unless ur dumb.
