β€œI’m keeping Twitter and using Bluesky too” Hear me out, the longer you stay on that platform the longer you amplify its power. Do not half use Bluesky hoping it will magically be like the Twitter you spent years cultivating. Invest in the change and cultivate here. You have a new garden!

Handy Hint: In Figma, apply the monospace style to numbers in text layer to ensure equal character spacing. This improves alignment and readability in UI design, especially for data tables and financial information, by keeping numbers neatly aligned and visually consistent.

the official Bluesky app is great, way better than the Threads or Mastodon official apps - but I still want a Tweetbot/Ivory client for this place
