ATProtoViewer ~ PWA + #Bookmarks + bsky share feature.

Announcing a new edition to my github pages of the above. What start from dame.is development of a guestbook for my pds And me trying to do something similar for bookmarks, which sparked the desire to have something to display the records. Resulting in developing the ATProto Record Viewer, mainly for my own use.

The script now accepts 'did=' (using the string and not handle) and 'uri=' parameters which will auto detect PDS Host!

uri Parameter:

If the page is loaded with a ?uri=at://... parameter, the form fields (repo, collection, rkey, pds) are automatically filled based on the parsed AT URI. The user can then fetch the single record or modify the fields for further queries. Also supports the Bluesky web urls. Both can be enter/pasted on the page URI field. Example:

https://corkiejp.github.io/ATProtoViewer/index.html?uri=at%3A%2F%2Fdid%3Aplc%3Aqxlh6bohvep3taqhmtpipx4b%2Fapp.bsky.feed.post%2F3lpx3s7avxc5r

https://bsky.app/profile/corkiejp.github.io/post/3lqb3j3wrocta

It also works as a Android/Chrome PWA! With support for the Bluesky Share buttom. View any post record. For example see my very first post on Bluesky from 21 August 2024, visit the viewer

It provides handy quick access links to likes of https://pds.ls/, https://atp.tools/, https://blue.mackuba.eu/skythread/ and more for every post. Click the more link.

Latest addition a simple #Bookmarks method using localstorage! As each record display has links for handy bluesky utilities under the more option. You now have bookmarks to these for the post. It currently requests a title+description for bookmark creation, in future I will see if I can autofill these from the record. Can't believe I have created a bookmark system for Bluesky, when the app has yet to do so?

Disclaimer:- I'm not a developer, webpage/PWA was created with the assistance of AI Powered search engine, https://www.perplexity.ai/ as an experiment into what can be done with static html on github. Static webpage so no monitoring in place with a server backend, no login details requested so no privacy issues. If you use it, your not interacting with the AI.

Source code available
So you can just download it and run it localy or on your own site. Just get index.html, bookmarks.html, BlueskyPostViewer.html and Blueskyessentiallinks.html, put in a folder. You would lose the bluesky share on a local system. But if hosting yourself you would also need the associated PWA files with edits for your server.
As it uses static HTML files there is no backend server, no account details are request so no privacy issues.
Utilizes LocalStorage for bookmarks, import/export feature built in.

Utilities or appviews that have implement link markdown!

Markdown is away to posts text with hyperlinks on blueksy, similar to the process on Reddit & Github.

See this Youtube video by Debbie Ridpath Ohi on how to use it.

Utilities i am aware of that allows you to use markdown:-

• deck blue by Gildásio
• Skeetdeck by mary🐇
• Klearsky by mimonelu 🦀

If you know of any other utilities that support it tag me @corkiejp.github.io on bluesky or reply on site I have posted this!

There is a draft of this guide on my Github Pages

Post Notifications from @posts.listifications.app

From the same creator (Dominik Picheta) as the popular Listifications utility!

~~This is an early beta, in testing phase at the moment!~~

Bluesky thread announcing the feature and instructions!

It is easy to setup by doing the following:-

• Create a list of accounts you want to be notified about on your profile called “Post Notifications”! Not mod list!
• Follow posts.listifications.app
• Enable ongoing conversations from the account by sending a DM/Chat to it. No need to have chats open to everyone!
• On the list detail the reason for it in the description, so accounts don't block to get of the list. Ask them to tag you for removal!
• Having the list feed is a handy way to see the posts notified to your account.
• See below for details on the limitations of the notification system at present!

Limitations of above!

• You at present get notifications from accounts with a large following only
  • "set up so that only accounts with 1,000 followers are eligible"
  • "it's only top-level posts. You won't be notified when people repost or reply to others."
• You don't need to have a large following yourself to use it.
• Bluesky Thread discussing it.

How to find accounts that meet the criteria?

Use an analytics tool of your choice to find the followers of yours that have a large following!

Recently came across Blueview.app by Simon Holmes which gives that information.

Note:- Above is an extract from a new github page I created which also mentions bluenotify! Linked above.

You can select accounts to be trusted verifiers instead of relying on accounts selected by bsky, NYT or wired!

Outside of the top three accounts announced to be verifiers (bsky,NYT,wired), I have come across two high profile accounts with it!

I don't get what an accounts real world reality has got to do with their online presence? It is of no concern to me what gender, race or how you identify yourself. I judge characters that I not likely to meet in real life based on the content they share and interact with it online.

Thankfully Bluesky has started to react to Bad Faith lists creators.

Moving forward, lists and starter packs with insulting profanity, slurs, abusive terms, or unproven allegations will be hidden from other users in the Bluesky app (but still visible to the creator).

Question mark is anyone going to use it! Training for AI, that you hopefully can opt out of if you start using it?

#Meta says it will resume AI training with public content from European users Also reported on the IrishExaminer!

Meta said it will start notifying users in the EU about the training, and will include a link to a form where they can object at any time. “We’ll honour all objection forms,” the company said. No need to wait, it is possible to opt out now, but I think you need to do it on each platform.

How Meta uses information for generative AI models and features

You can submit an objection request through your Facebook, Instagram or Meta account. Your objection will be applied to the account that you're logged in to and any accounts that you've added to the same Accounts Centre.

Yet to find a link for threads, and they say they don't scrape private messages, so no need for messenger?

Threads maybe be covered by Instagram?

Using skyfeed.app and the below list as input. https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/lists/3l53cjwlt4o2s

I turned MAGA Moderation list by ‪@skywatch.blue‬ into a feed. So you can see the content you will be blocking or muting! Maybe choose to block or add individual accounts to your own list! Using the above as an example only and just a test! It is easy to create these feed for any list/s you want.

Here is the example feed: - https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:lgjvdkqeeutvf7zj6wow3jro/feed/aaacmyy2orsms Probably will delete the above feed in a week, just using it as a test example!

Control your own moderation!

I shared this earlier in an reply on reddit. So thought it might be handy on here as well. I am aware of the 'Awesome Bluesky' list on github. So if your in the know of other power user tools that should be add to the list comment below or tag me on socials.

Power User

If you want to upgrade your 'Bluesky' usuage to next level? Here is a list of utilities for your toolbox!

• pdsls dev by juli ee ☕ ~ Browse the public data on AT Protocol.
• atproto-browser by Frontpage team ~ A browser to look at post's from above.
• blue mackuba eu by Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦 - Various utilities.
• SkeetBeaver by Casey Ho - facilitates analysis of publicly available information retrived from the Bluesky API.

First one came to my attention ~~recently~~ by a r/BlueskySocial/ post

Github page with the above!

If you were reliant on it? Are you think that method is to public.

You could create your own feed with skyfeed.app using your own specific string of characters instead.

The two emojis that work on their own in regex are: - 📌 & 🔖

I have setup my own feed that searches just my own accounts. Example of the fields needed on skyfeed are: -

Bluesky Post with the above

I have update my own regex to contain the following:-

📌|🔖|ⓘforme:|Note!🔖

So you could possibly use your own keywords for not so public declaration that your bookmarking a post.

My feed in operation, only showing my accounts.
