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

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.

I 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…
Also the VC-backed funding for this infrastructure will run out eventually. It's not self-sustaining, and Bluesky have no viable route to profitability.
