#2Sort of on a tangent to the actual content of the page, but what documentation system/CMS is this particular web page UI? It seems very fast and relatively uncluttered for the menu on the left side, content pane, top horizontal menu bar.

No sure I agree on fast. At least on mobile the sidebar has an show/hide slide animation that takes a sizeable fraction of a second. In fact is one of the slowest animations for this I have seen.
I disable animations entirely on devices I use where possible. They just waste time and that adds up if you use something regularly.

I haven't looked at it on mobile, that's unfortunate to hear. I don't see any animation when interacting with it on a desktop browser, snapping open a left side header menu item to see sub-items seems instant.

I meant showing/hiding the side bar itself, not headings in it. Using the triple dash menu button in the top left corner.

If I'm understanding this codebase right, it's a hand-rolled framework based on MDX and Next.js; the UI elements you're referring to were designed from scratch and aren't based on any existing CMS theme.

Some of it looks like tailwind css and they have a syntax highlighting addon that shows up in the homepage source as well.

Yeah, I see what you mean now, I am looking at it on mobile and that animated slider to show or hide the entire menu seems like it takes unnecessarily long.

#9I'm all for whatever atproto expansion and whatever's going on here, mainly it harks back to early Twitter days (tho also for better or worse, watching them build Bluesky in realtime isn't the best), but when they have outages like last week a good chunk of service unreachable/down for many hours with little update on https://status.bsky.app/ and then whatever history just basically disappears as if nothing ever goes wrong, it's not a good vibe.
Despite all the openness and github repos and what not it's very difficult to get straight answers or just like find a place where issues or changes to the platform are addressed easily.

#10I wonder if it would be a good idea to remake DNS on top of bluesky. The basic idea is that, if you own a domain name, you post DNS updates in a bluesky feed. The firehose itself is authoritative. DNS servers sit downstream of the firehose. All the updates to domain names get written into a database, and they essentially just respond to queries hitting that database. This would let anyone (with enough bandwidth) run a fast domain name server.
We could use this to fix some of DNS's long running problems. Like, we could add upstream cryptographic signatures to DNS records. And put TLS certificates in there too. We might be able to ditch TTL entries. In a DNS server, records should update via server-push from the firehose. You shouldn't have to wait for TTL to expire.
I think it'd make a nice little system.
