#13Sort 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.
https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto-website 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 modified vercel template by the looks of it

#14The original Jetstream is really cool - it's incredibly easy to start consuming the Bluesky firehose - you don't even need to use a server, you can consume it directly in the browser.
I updated my browser demo to use the new Jetstream just now - hit "connect" and scroll down the page to see the events flowing past: https://tools.simonwillison.net/bluesky-firehose

Do you have a database/ui of all of this story graph labeling you've done? Is there a story behind it?

New jetstream is fully compatible with old jetstream btw! We just added a bunch of new stuff as well

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.
Gonna go out on a limb here and say css transitions are not what they are talking about.

#19I 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…
I think you just invented blockchain DNS (e.g. https://handshake.org/) without the byzantine tolerance.

Yes, exactly. Blockchain DNS minus the blockchain is just good DNS.
