Reminder for the software developers out there: In the spirit of the open Bluesky/AT protocol ecosystem, Govsky is open source! Feel free to check out the repo and contribute (or just see what's going on under the hood). Have a great weekend! github.com/nas5w/govsky

The @us.govsky.org hit 2k followers yesterday! I'm quite proud of this initiative and really glad to see so many people interested in engaging with civic entities here.

I don't do much (okay, any) browser extension work and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to set up a side panel extension (html, css, js, SPA, whatever). It mostly just works!
