And just like that, a new platform is almost done.

Using Bluesky as a backend is *really* under-appreciated, imo. It feels like you are getting away with something. Like how can all these resources be usable by anyone? I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, for them to lock it down more.

Today I learned something. The Bluesky web GUI is not the best for debugging a custom feed. When you are using a single test account and can't figure out why your other posts are not showing…

It's ok. A few hours are gone. A guide the screenshots — GUI shows one post, JSON has 8 posts.

Good news everyone. The test is working. This is visible in the bluesky UI, but was created with a new client application.

I'm allowed to be happy now b/c it's working a little bit.

When your placeholder data is questionable, but you're glad because your template is working.

I am posting one image from the archives every day.

The things you find outside while walking around always interested me.

The Oakland archives are good because there are not many images with a person's face in it. (Don't want to expose people to the internet.)

I remember I sent this in a text message.

San Francisco I think.

This was just on the sidewalk somewhere.
