Today was the first day I really felt like “oh, this is how we win.” Should’ve been obvious. It’s not from investor money. It’s not from PR. It’s not sneakdissing other projects. It’s relationships. It’s community. Lots of folks pouring love (and money) into a community initiative. Reciprocity. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreif7yseienq5lxpqfxeqpwcbswoezx5nobbruoarjyguoaicqaouju

Built a local-first atproto CAR viewer. CAR files are part of atproto’s "credible exit" but even if users export their data, there’s no easy way to inspect it. rsky-satnav displays repository contents in a structured view.

Why use a new technology (atproto) to do something you’ve already done b4 (build TikTok) Why not do something you couldn’t do before (custom feeds, leverage decentralized identity, integrate social features into non-social apps, mixmatch lexicons) “past results don’t guarantee future returns” etc
