welp twitter's not working

hello bsky, how's everyone doing?

i haven't been here in a while, how many of my twitter circles are still using this thing?

yeah that's what i'm thinking, the blockchain idealism of immutability and append-only, but for communication in the real world that's just not a good idea

ME AND WHO

hmm yeah probably way fewer views than i'd have with the same number of followers on twitter

still, getting 0 likes is weird

weird that it's normal for me to get 0 likes on a skeet here

on twitter that has literally never happened once i hit like 200 followers

welp that didn't work out

mfw

lovely

ok what about now

reply threads now 10x more readable, thanks!!

if there's wifi and conveniently placed electrical outlets i'd show up

what form of answer do you expect?

if you ask "who is that person" and i say "that's my friend harry" and you say "but WHO is harry?", what am i supposed to answer? harry is harry, it's *a* particular person. tpot is tpot, it's *a* particular part of twitter

yeah i mean it will open a link in the browser

i find it hilarious that jay was like "omg pls don't let the name skeets stick, anything but skeets" and then someone comes along and is like "why would jay decide to name them skeets, that's so strange"

but also i feel bad for the team a bit

they talked about bluesky on yesterday's episode of blocked and reported

"they named them 'skeets'... why would they do that, i don't get it"

priceless entertainment, 10/10

ok i see how it is

another update: follow and unfollow buttons

first enhancement: the option of combining two lists

i just used it to find moots from twitter that i wasn't yet following here by looking at people that my friends followed that i didn't

senpai notice me (bsky team)

also i just noticed the original listfollowers doesn't work, did elon shut down the twitter API at last?

as you can see i made it usable on mobile too this time

pls clap

anyway

the most basic version of listfollowers for bsky is out now

https://bskyfollowers.netlify.app/

there's no search, export, combining 2 lists etc, that's all coming

also no error handling bc there's no docs for the API, idk what errors can even happen

try it out, if it crashes let me know

today i mostly just played with tailwind and created silly little layouts and silly little components and silly little color palettes

next time i should do some actual programming

ah, the thing i mentioned in the QT, ie the same thing i built on twitter api before, ie a website that allows you to fetch a list of someone's follows or followers, search/sort/filter through them, save to json/csv, intersect or subtract two users' lists etc

oh you mean like web vs mobile? web

are you asking about the features or the tech stack?

on bsky the logic itself is much faster to code because there's no rate limits to optimize around and error-handle

so much thinking on listfollowers went into working with the rate limits

here i just… fetch the data and show it

also everyone has like 500 followers anyway rn

started one week later but finally under way

today i fairly quickly discarded the idea of making my own backend right off the bat

i'll start frontend only to ship something quick; afterwards i can fuck around w session cookies and bullshit like that

most of the work is UI which won't go to waste

there's an android app?? i didn't find anything searching the app store so i assumed there isn't
