Thanks 🙏

marinaaisa.com•112 days ago

Hi Josh! I'm a web engineer at Apple, I would love to be included in the starter pack :) thank you!

joshwcomeau.com•112 days ago

Hi Marina!

So the idea behind my starter pack is that it’s a group of people I can personally recommend; most of the folks on it are people I’ve met IRL and/or have been blown away by their work.

joshwcomeau.com•112 days ago

Sorry for the confusion! I’ve gotten lots of requests like yours, so it’s definitely a communication error on my part, I wasn’t clear about what this list was.

Nice to connect with you though!

marinaaisa.com•111 days ago

No worries at all 💜 thank you for your explanation and your amazing list! Very happy to connect 😊

keithlaugh.love•114 days ago

very good list

skyfall.dev•114 days ago

starter packs are awesome, i'm already following 360 people after 2 days lol

lionis.com.br•116 days ago

Incredible! Multiple people I followed there but couldn't find here. Thanks

marcin.com.au•114 days ago

Thank mate. That's a super handy list.

Just need one for all the indy hackers/build in public folks. haha

ben.robertson.is•114 days ago

I’ve seen a few of those floating around

but I don’t know how to re-find them…

marcin.com.au•114 days ago

If you come across any indie hacker/build in public lists. Would be awesome if you could flick me the link. :)

ben.robertson.is•114 days ago

This is one of them https://go.bsky.app/9Xi4xtt

mubashariqbal.com•113 days ago

Working on login to let users submit their starter packs to https://blueskydirectory.com this weekend!

technicleah.bsky.social•104 days ago

This is great; thank you for doing this.

jbranchaud.bsky.social•116 days ago

I think I’m missing something — where is the starter pack link?

jbranchaud.bsky.social•116 days ago

Ope, I am just now seeing that starter packs are a tab on user profiles 🫣

joshwcomeau.com•116 days ago

That’s true, but it also should have been linked in my tweet!

Do you not see this?

jbranchaud.bsky.social•116 days ago

I wondered if you had linked it and something buggy was going on. Sure enough, here is what I see:

jbranchaud.bsky.social•116 days ago

The link is showing up for me in the web view tho. So looks like it is a mobile app bug ? /cc @danabra.mov

danabra.mov•116 days ago

any chance you’re on a very old app version?

hamatoyogi.dev•114 days ago

Thanks for this, caught all those Pokémons 🙃

armannaj.bsky.social•114 days ago

Hey Josh,

Include me as well.
Great to be connected to you guys

bell.bz•117 days ago

nicolesullivan.bsky.social•112 days ago

You found so many people! Thank you!

joshellis.co.uk•116 days ago

Super helpful, thank you! Coming from X, it's a lot quieter at the moment!

shellyyjelly.bsky.social•117 days ago

Saw your post on X so I’m joining the party~

joshwcomeau.com•117 days ago

Woohoo! Welcome aboard 😄

ladyofcode.com•114 days ago

They're great! Excellent move by Bsky tbh

mknepprath.com•116 days ago

well that was easy

andrewcarrier.com•116 days ago

How do you create a starter pack?

joshwcomeau.com•116 days ago

You can find the instructions here: https://bsky.social/about/blog/06-26-2024-starter-packs

Not sure if it can be done on mobile, I did it on web.

andrewcarrier.com•116 days ago

Thanks so much. 🙏

ernesto.dev•117 days ago

Thanks for putting this together!

samwho.dev•117 days ago

@amygoodchild.bsky.social would be an excellent addition to this list!

joshwcomeau.com•117 days ago

Added both her and you!

Good to see you here Sam — I almost didn’t recognize you, since I think your avatar is different?

It occurs to me that I also changed my avatar to a Halloween-themed one, but I should probably keep it the same for easy identification 😅

samwho.dev•117 days ago

Ahh thank you 🙏

You’re right, this is the avatar I tend to use professionally. I made my Bluesky account ages ago, possibly prior to having my current avatar made. I should update it. Thanks for the tip!

samileighxox.bsky.social•116 days ago

That's funny I was just looking at the starter pack option on My page, wondering wth it was. I've now got My answer thanks to your post.

ives.sh•116 days ago

❤️❤️ thanks for adding me! Great way to get started with Bluesky!

techashuman.com•116 days ago

As a newbie here this is extremely helpful, thank you! Love the suggestions!

jeroenreumkens.com•116 days ago

And here I thought I was already following most of the web dev people that were on BlueSky. Discovered many people I didn’t follow yet. Thanks for making the pack!

rwieruch.bsky.social•116 days ago

What a great idea having these starter packs. Thanks for having me in there Josh 🤗

joshwcomeau.com•116 days ago

Great to see you too!

adam21.bsky.social•116 days ago

Thank you @joshwcomeau.com Would you be kind enough to repost the occasional gem from folk on the list? I'm nervous of a very "noisy" BlueSky feed, but juicy reposts would win me over... 😊

joshwcomeau.com•116 days ago

For sure, definitely going to share the cool stuff I see!

doliver.net•116 days ago

Thanks, this is great! I was looking for a good webdev option in the Feeds section yesterday but I haven't had as much luck in there -- this starter pack approach seems more helpful.

I'm excited about the most recent wave of webdev folks landing here. It's finally time to cut the cord on twitter.
