Wonder if I should hit up Mark Cuban for some money?

Finally got over 1k followers.

@mackuba.eu really? I swear I saw different behavior in testing, but certainly could be wrong, lacking the mention at the start of the post breaks my brain.

The thing that feels really weird to me here is the lack of a fully unthreaded reverse chronological timeline. Even the API returns the home timeline threaded, I kind of get why but I find it really hard to get used to.

Notifications too, though not grouped yet.

Now I can actually reply to people. Not saying that I will, just that I can.

I’ll say one of the good things about not having a ton of formal documentation is that it forces me to be even more defensive/paranoid when parsing out data. I think I’m writing more assertions then anything else.

Petition to have all social media platforms standardize either on like or favorite. I really don’t care which, but both annoys me.

Hello Timeline *

* I’ve been advised to mention that nothing you see here is more than a bootstrapped test. It’ll all change, specially the icons.

I'm looking for something like this
docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/acco...
or
docs.x.com/x-api/users/...

URL + required/optional parameters + response.

docs.bsky.app/docs/api/com... is missing things like known collections and format of record.

Yeah I saw that, if you are using those libraries it's a bit sparse but fine, but I'm talking about directly issuing the POST request. I know createRecord + "app.bsky.graph.follow" + record, easy enough once you see what the web app is doing, just would be nice to see that documented.

Most of the API itself isn't particularly difficult to use, issuing a follow is trivial once you know the arguments but only way to know those seems to be to spy on the web app requests.

I’ve seen a lot of folks asking why there are more Mastodon clients than BlueSky clients. I think at least one reason is because the API docs for Mastodon feel quite a bit more comprehensive.

Something as simple as following a user doesn’t seem to be documented anywhere. 🤷
