Wish that you spent your Friday doing something besides checking if TikTok was banned or not? Try out @skylight.social — a video app built upon the same open network as Bluesky. You can login with your Bluesky account, and all of your followers seamlessly come with you.

friendly reminder that building on atproto gives you immediate access to >30 million users, an existing social graph, and a huge network of open data & content it's increasingly becoming a no-brainer to build new social apps on atproto congrats to the skylight team on the launch 🙌

This is tragic. Anyone who was familiar with 18F knows those were some of the real heroes of government, who helped make government tech/digital services better for the public. They were doing real work that DOGE pretends to do, but is too ignorant to know how to do.

This episode of the Indie VC podcast is really good, especially the part where @ericries.bsky.social talks about the compromises many startup founders make along the way (to success) that eventually take a toll on them.

In today’s episode of The Eric Ries Show, I am joined by Luis von Ahn, CEO and co-founder of @duolingoverde.bsky.social. With Duolingo, his mission was simple: make language learning accessible to everyone—not to build a for-profit company.

Editing this conversation with @ericries.bsky.social this week felt like a balm. youtu.be/MiaQOSxW_3I?...

In this episode of The Eric Ries Show, I sit down with @craignewmark.bsky.social, the founder of Craigslist—one of the internet’s most influential platforms. Despite its massive impact, Craigslist has remained intentionally minimalist, resisting the hyper-monetization strategies common in tech.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

We’re looking for beta testers! Here’s how it works: 📱 Create a short video 🦋 Post the video to BlueSky ✨ Tag @skylight.social We’ll reach out with an invitation to join the beta!
