The thing about bsky is that it’s much more than Not Twitter. It’s a totally open dev ecosystem that actively encourages extension and experimentation. There are third party clients, feeds, analytics tools, etc. It feels like the early web in a lot of ways

I'm there, see ya wednesday (I mean I'm also there today…some days I'm here too…I will not be calendrically constrained…but anyway you should come thru on weds; give other app another try)

today in chronicles of twitter decline…I'm pretty proud of this thread & tbh flummoxed it got ~no views!

excited to launch this! to start: a fun simple blog tool but…soon!…make newsletters, customize themes & more ✨ lots of open q's like…how should subscribing work? what'd make publications more fun? how to monetize? give it a try & lmk thoughts / what you'd like to see!

PSA if you like delicious perfect bagels you can literally just go to your local bagel place that makes delicious perfect bagels and buy a dozen and slice and freeze them and then toast and eat a delicious perfect bagel every day* (*sadly may not apply if you don't live in nyc)

good discussion in the replies! one takeaway: Bluesky, as a platform, has a lower floor but a higher ceiling vs Substack yes it can be chaotic, annoying, underbaked in many ways…but I'll take that any day > slick & sanitized, b/c I want the cool weird novel emergent behavior!

made a new 🦋 starter pack "gpot (good part of tpot)" lol goal: all the curious + creative + thoughtful + positive energy, minus the annoying edgelords. ppl who miss threadapalooza & love sharing links & hosting weird events. friendly ambitious nerds. go.bsky.app/GFQH6q3

someone really should do all this! I don't think it'll be substack. but…someone should! (bout to give it a try)

idea we're kicking around: host a Leaflet blogging challenge (next month?) — where we all publish together (daily?) and follow each other's blogs etc. sound fun? would you participate? what kind of structure would be ideal?

I want to make like…a tiny secret bookstore in my basement could be in a closet. could be under the stairs. could be in the refrigerator. appointment only visits? 1:1 reading series? sure!

okay I've def been on a bsky kick but sometimes can't help but think……how bout we all get on strava instead? I wanna see your routes, I wanna see your times gradually improve over the years, I wanna have conversations in the comments on my runs…

sup y'all who's around / what's new / what's good? still on the other app more (<3 atproto) but also around brooklyn! long walks, playing bball, playground with Sol, hosting friends for coworking…good year so far :)

icymi — building a new platform for social publishing! making Leaflet a nice simple tool for blogs / newsletters, going for ~open substack alternative, having fun building on atproto, lots of cool things WIP wanna blog more? give it a try! leaflet (.) pub / home
