"WIP" is an important category for me, kind of a pinned to do list…nice to have an explicit list of active docs incl ones I work on less frequently but still want to come back to
finally…some docs prob don't need categorization & should just live in an "all docs" archive + be searchable if needed

by far my biggest collection would be "leaflet", team docs! organization happens largely w/in docs (i.e. doc as TOC) or elsewhere (e.g. temp docs + drop links in chat)
one interesting bucket is re: social intent…like "shared with me" & "made for others"; an inbox of docs ppl sent me could be cool!

ha just saw the suggestion to share in c/threadsky but it was easier to just reply here :P but…I wonder if you could link posts there as like quoted replies to threads you create, to bootstrap activity with just like curated/organized posts? or similar experiments
comment in response to
post
nice, I'll take a look / incl a link when I put together more notes!
one idea, similar to here — rather than seeing globally trending posts (active but low signal:noise) I'd like to see the *best* examples on threadsky
like…can you make 1-2 community channels really active + differentiated?

niceeee mine is almost the same haha

Cool, thx! I think that makes sense. Main thing I want to see is more good examples…show me the long posts!
rn on the homepage, trending = mostly politics chatter; hard to find ones that aren't just regular bsky threads. I'd love a curated view of the best that take advantage of longform features

Yep that's what I'm seeing…makes sense! Minor thing for sure just noted as a small point of friction

For sure, super cool to see this taking shape!
I'm not seeing the page now but iirc when I first connected my account, it first took me to a page that mentioned the daily digest & other options rather than straight to /links (just thought that could be more prominent + show other stuff later)!

and finally (for now!) a few others:
Newdin - @newdin.com - simple thread writer & reader
Streamplace - @stream.place - live video streaming
Bluecast - @bluecast.app - live audio streaming
SkySpace - @skyspace.me - WIP cute indie myspace clone!
Surf - @surf.social - "browser for the social web"

two nice feed creator apps:
Graze - @graze.social
- visual builder w/ very nice UI + fancy options
- analytics, version history, also testing ads
Bluesky Feed Creator - @blueskyfeedcreator.com
- I used to make a Leaflet feed!
- lots of features; bit more classic style
- both free + paid plans

not explicitly social app but cool infra:
Handles - @handles.net
bulk manage domain handles
- love the domain handles feature; this looks good for teams / communities
- oh dopeee - @handles.club - "177 domains available for anyone to use with Bluesky, for free"
- already a premium plan, good sign

Sill - @sill.social
social link aggregation a la Nuzzel
- cool that it works for both Bluesky + Mastodon
- first downloads my recent timeline
- then I can see links & other things like set up daily digest ("your links" should be default!)
- nice design + cool beta features like custom notifications
comment in response to
post
AzSky - @azsky.app
long-form discussions on bluesky
- not immediately super clear how it works
- seems like: a threaded forum-style view for any bsky post, where you can reply w/o the 300 char limit
- clever that it works with any post!
- but need more examples w/ long discussion to see value add

Woosh - @woosh.link
nice clean link in bio tool
- not a lot of updates, but in public beta & looks good
- basic profile +links now; themes / analytics coming soon
- adds your bio + bsky profile by default, nice way to seed it
- can customize w/ named collections of links, cool
comment in response to
post
Bluescreen - @bluescreen.blue
"short video client for Bluesky"
- one of like 5+ apps building ~tiktok for bsky!
- feed switching seems cool (though a lil buggy)
- lots of preferences; "hide repeating posts" is great, I want that in bsky
- need a better video algo…incredibly random and weird rn

side note: having a lot of fun reading @erlend.sh's blog posts on Weird, related projects / visions, and Muni Town, the emergent scene of ppl working on these and related projects in the "open social web"!
see blog.muni.town :)
comment in response to
post
Roomy - @roomy.chat
p2p group chat, a la Discord
- another project from the makers of Weird
- early WIP but shipped a v1 quickly & looking pretty good!
- some things like threads not quite cohesive yet, but lots of potential
- it'll be cool to see how this fits in w/ other tools + social ecosystem!

Weird
personal webpages + (soon) "web passports"
- MVP = fun link in bio tool
- big aspirations e.g. collab projects & weird as "network engine" & "fully moddable websites"…love it
- cool demos/writeups re: themes, revisions, projects, teams
- early adopter premium subscription experiment…nice!
comment in response to
post
Pinksky - @pinksky.app
photo client a la Instagram
- "just" a bsky client but a whole new UI
- remarkably faithful Instagram clone lol
- stories = recent posts…interesting
- it'll be cool to see dynamics w/ more use direct from app
- kinda want more filters for explore (e.g. no screenshots)

yesss
thinking about things in this direction with @leaflet.pub e.g. interesting social block types, bluesky/atproto integration etc…would love to hear any ideas you think would be cool

For this one I like cmd-shift-arrows to move items b/c it's such a common pattern (same in all the apps just mentioned I think!)
Can def do a pass on keyboard shortcuts generally & see if anyone else has ideas to improve
comment in response to

Hahaha you know I have thoughts :P I looked at a bunch (eg Roam/Obsidian/Workflowy/Notion) but not a *lot* of space to play given browser + OS constraints…also tradeoffs to feeling more doc/page first (pure outliner apps def feel different)…curious what other think tho b/c I know we both have biases

oh nice, just started this one! I loved her book about translation (This Little Art)
