If I did a workshop in London around building on Bluesky for civic purposes, what would people be interested in? I've considered: - creating feeds - setting up labellers - training ML models for moderation - visualising the firehose (Ideas for venue also appreciated!)

Please let your favourite news org know: image embed posts without alt text will be filtered out of the 📰 News feed two weeks from today. Link posts will be unaffected. If you are a news org and providing basic accessibility support will be a challenge, please contact me, we'll work through it. 💚

Hi there! I'm the creator of the 📰 News feed. I have over a decade of experience building highly-engaging data visualisations and delivering complex technology projects for international news orgs. I'm looking for new roles that will let me grow as an engineer. Please DM me if you have any leads! RE:

I've noticed there are two ways to do software development in this space: • ignore all criticism because your vision for the product is the only one that matters • seriously respond to good-faith criticism and use that to improve your product

If you're a news org and you need help figuring out how to do this, or if you're a freelance/independent journalist and need some direction setting up a portfolio site and/or domain, please DM me, I'm more than happy to help. 💚 RE:

I'm going to stop being gripe-y for a second (sorry, but I have sign-posted I'm a bit stressed) to be a touch more positive: The 📰 News feed is currently receiving about *1.2 MILLION* requests a *DAY* That's ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is I'm able to serve this traffic on $50 of infra. https://shimeji.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:kkf4naxqmweop7dv4l2iqqf5&cid=bafkreigmjqy6mmjghdr7kksd75bahavnywdlv7de3l2kcgq3f44qe5stjq

Here's a thought: If you want to try your hand at AT Proto development and want an oven-ready idea plus me to mentor you through building it, hit me with a DM. My latest free idea is for a bluetick-esque verification system leveraging OAuth to validate existing socials... 👀 RE:
