i'm actually really excited. we're at a point where it's easier to develop proper apps with little knowledge, and in a time where social is opening up. this means more people can build stuff like this with more ease!!
i'm a big fan of grain.social, so i'm experimenting with more features of this client, including search (grain app doesn't have this!) backend is just calling a quickslice i have running, and app built with gemini 3 pro / claude sonnet 4.5 + the MCP built in for context on how it works #atproto View quoted note → https://pds.j4ck.xyz/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:4hawmtgzjx3vclfyphbhfn7v&cid=bafkreifmu4uzq6bu6d6roz43msxbeqljg5uuaw6vm652olkxvsmulpca7e
what drama have i missed out on now
grain-social-explorer.pages.dev one shotted, vibe-coded test client that reads from this quickslice! will add more functionality to it later, only shows the galleries on home rn Grain Social Explorer
a lot of people have written @grain.social@bsky.brid.gy records 👀 cc @chadtmiller.com@bsky.brid.gy View quoted note → https://pds.j4ck.xyz/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:4hawmtgzjx3vclfyphbhfn7v&cid=bafkreigvhjsvewmyslctkz2hdve3a5opuff752yh37azkq3xqb2rblntaq
changing this to be a @grain.social@bsky.brid.gy API since there's already teal ones!!
got a quickslice instance running on @upcloud.com@bsky.brid.gy with a bit of assistance from claude for setup! backfilling @teal.fm@bsky.brid.gy plays rn, but wanna do something more interesting (this has been done before) cool it works tho! https://pds.j4ck.xyz/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:4hawmtgzjx3vclfyphbhfn7v&cid=bafkreifzxly6b4nhgapei5bsmfzkda2qp44ynmo3g5wa6av4lons5rluoa

working on a cool app and this is what i got for my 30 most dense accounts in this it's pretty much a cluster of all accounts i follow & my followers, and checks who each of those follow, any mutuals within this cluster are more centred View quoted note → https://pds.j4ck.xyz/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:4hawmtgzjx3vclfyphbhfn7v&cid=bafkreihdsj4wdx5kngn4qodjjndxyxenwptez4rm7cpe6bzd33cwl6u774
