I've been working on a new Y.js synchronization server for the past few weeks now.
Today, I've hit a milestone for it, multiple clients synchronizing their documents & cursor updates!
I threw together a demo with blocknote.js.org and it works!
OSS: see the code at: github.com/nperez0111/m...

I've just finished writing up the docs website for my Y.js sync server project, and made it a bluesky account

This, is Teleportal, a Y.js sync server:
- Flexible storage (with different backends)
- WebSockets & HTTP + SSE
- JWT token signing
- Encryption at rest
And, that's just the beginning. There a bunch of other packages with utilities to build a sync server framework into your app!

I’ve been heavily focusing on my Yjs sync server: Teleportal
I just implemented an extendable RPC system for the protocol, which runs over WebSockets. And, it really makes you wonder, what can you do with the ability for the server to make a request to the client?
An interesting thought

I make a rich text editor for a living (blocknotejs.org) and cannot for the life of me understand why people care about these sorts of features so much.
Every editor sucks at this because we end up having to _serialize and parse_ HTML.
Exporting is always easy, but just accepting a string as input?

Never in my entire life have I pasted text, seen that it pasted it with formatting and been happy with the result.

Explaining open source is very difficult sometimes. Since it is often touching philosophical concepts and ethics. So, I tried answering in a more project specific sense.
Honestly at this point, I would have to consider making a project NOT Open Source.

While this is really cool to have @popfeed.social have interop with the @bookhive.buzz lexicon (where popfeed only reads, not writes). I do worry about the project not being open source.
And, it seems to me they are using the proprietary ISBNDB dataset, which is maybe why it can't be open sourced?

Thinking 2026 may be the year I stop cross saving to Goodreads and only use atproto alternatives 👀.
Also cool that my books are saved under the buzz.bookhive.book lexicon not a pop feed one

Hello atmosphere ! Over the last few weeks, a bunch of us have been collaborating on a new set of lexicons for publishing, indexing, and building out social features across long-form reading and writing apps ! 🧵1/7
Standard.site - One schema. Every platform.
Standard.site provides shared lexicons for long-form publishing on AT Protocol. Making content easier to discover, index, and move across the ATmosphere.

hello all! if you’ve been tracking your plays, we made you a year-end thing.
we’re not data scientists, but we tried crunching your numbers anyway. your top tracks, listening patterns, and all the stats you (probably?) didn’t know you wanted.

These are the sorts of things I’d love to have written up somewhere
btw @loves.brussels, if you were to change the location of your oauth metadata document to `https://who.loves.brussels/oauth-client-metadata.json`, this would show just the hostname
Minor thing, but I hope that helps!

I hadn't tried this app out until now, it is pretty decent!
it pulls in a bunch of external book metadata and book reviews, so it doesn't feel dead/empty. a bunch of AT folks are using it daily. uses granular OAuth permission scopes.

Two new features:
Now, you can track progress on books you are currently reading. I'm using a similar shape to @popfeed.social's book progress tracking, which should make it easier to inter-op in the future.
We've also implemented proper OAuth scopes, which means minimal permissions to your data!
