Hello. I haven't checked this account in ages. My apologies. I haven't been able to maintain the projects shared here due to personal issues. I'm deeply sorry if you were using them. Most things have been & will remain offline/paused, but I hope to return to them. It'll just be a while.

FYI: I only post from this account with reasonably noteworthy updates on my Bluesky hobby projects. Honestly it's not a bad idea to turn on Post Notifications for app update news. ...uhh, like, subscribe, & mash that bell? or something? 😅

Hi! Bluesky Alt Text Generator browser extension updates have taken longer than I wanted, but I am getting things to a much more stable version as fast as I can manage! The Web App at alttext.symm.app just got published to v1.0.0 ahead of publishing the extension versions ASAP. Sorry for the wait!

@fritzdrybeam.bsky.social @thatac.bsky.social thanks for trying the alt text generator & so very sorry it was in a broken state when you tried to use it. I was working on a rather significant update & may have partially broken it for a while. Very big oops. I'll work more now! Ty for reporting!!!

I am seeking to form a team for a meaningful, long term fork of @whtwnd.com, as it has been stale for quite some time, & could use a whole mess of additional features, fixes, & design improvements. I don't want to rush it & ship soon™️; I am just seeking interested parties at this time. 🧵

So people have been campaigning to \@gemini.is-a.bot to be the most banned account on Bluesky, & we've ALL been kind of riding along with it in our blocks, thanks to me.
.....so I made a leaderboard. From Clearsky API. With celebrations for each milestone. 😐
I present to you: Are We NYTimes Yet?
