We're getting reallly close to a dream of mine:

public indexed website built from a variety of personal data sources: bookmarks, annotations, and rss likes

I was posting about this 6 months ago, and it could be a reality today bsky.app/profile/hyl....

Reposting @flo-bit.dev

official public beta launch of blento.app 🎉🥳

lots of new features and cards added and (mostly) works on mobile now too

share it with your friends, family, neighbors and random strangers on the street!

Some core concepts to explore for morgen.blue.

(I'll write a bit more about them in the next newsletter issue.)

What is one thing that you would change in your favorite reader to make it even better?

Make it about subscribing to people, not feeds. Very Online persons (and orgs) have more than one feed available for subscription, and I wanna opt into them individually.

In case you missed my blogpost from yesterday: I'm building my own take on an atproto-based RSS reader!

If you're interested, you can follow along by signing up over at morgen.blue or by checking this tag on my website: dominikhofer.me/tag/morgenblau

I already shared this in my latest blog post but wanted to highlight it separately.

Really interesting read on how paradigms have (not) evolved in the past years for RSS readers and what to do about it.

Today I'm excited to announce @sequoia.pub: a CLI for self-hosted blogs to publish @standard.site lexicons to the ATmosphere

Aaand speaking of agent skills, here's a pretty cool directory. I don't really install external skills that often, but it's very nice for inspo.

Turned @spatie.be's Laravel guidelines (spatie.be/guidelines) into a proper agent skill using Anthropic's skill-creator skill (what a name).

Some interesting patterns in there, we'll see how it goes 🤞

With the exams finished and my new personal website out in the world, it's time to dive into the world of iOS development again 🥳

I will talk more about the app in the next couple of days, but as a little teaser, here's the icon :)

This could've been written by me:

But my problem was never lack of inspiration or ideas.
My weakness is focus and execution.

Lost in a sea of infinite possibilities ✨

Things are getting serious if I end my prompts to Claude Code with "Only present the plan if you're 99+% sure that it will work".

Here is what I've been doing this past week: git.olaren.dev/Olaren/mapto...
A little python program that generates poster for cities! You might have seen stuff like this around lately, but I modified it to put an emphasis on rail infrastructure :3

Happy Monday!

Here's a fantastic soundtrack for your workday (discovered via @danabra.mov).

If W is actually based on atproto, that is truly awesome news!

Still not a fan of the name though…

Aaand… we're live!

v2.0 of my personal website, built with @getkirby.com

dominikhofer.me

If you previously subscribed to this site via RSS, I might just have filled up your feed with many posts. This is somewhat intended as I just deployed v2 of my site (you can check it out here) and this feed now contains all the things I publish: Regular Posts, Notes (aka short posts), Photos and Races.

If you want to just receive regular posts in your RSS reader, you can subscribe to this filtered feed: dominikhofer.me/posts/rss

Have a nice Sunday and a good start to the new week, appreciate you!

We're getting there…

Reposting @leaflet.pub

Leaflet is on @standard.site!

A big joint effort — and we're finishing a big migration to get Leaflet records standard-site-ified :) Log in to Leaflet & you'll be migrated automatically.

Read this post for details, and let us know any q's.

Social publishing. Atmospheric publishing. Together!

Todo: Launch personal website this weekend

(I'm too tired after the exam today to do anything else except coming up with this list. Tomorrow, it's time to build again though ^^)

Reposting @stevedylan.dev

I wrote up a primer on the AT Protocol designed for normal people, trying to explain why it's such a big deal, and giving tips on how to get started. Near the end I listed some ATProto apps that people can use, so please let me know if there are others I could add!

Publicly committing so I don't tinker too much:

My new personal website goes live this weekend 🙌

Just need to make some final touches and set up the hosting, then we're good to go.

One skill I recently created for Claude Code and quite enjoy using is called "continuous-learning".

It goes through the last n git commands and identifies learning opportunities that could be documented in CLAUDE.md or specialized files.

RSS on atproto, I'm so here for it!

It's a first step into the right direction: dominikhofer.me/social-indie...

I'm currently building v2 of my personal site with @getkirby.com.

The core idea is to have a unified feed of all my content in one place.

I've now backfilled my whole Twitter archive + regularly fetch posts from Bluesky. So cool seeing everything come together.

For the next time you have to wait for a dev (or Claude) to implement your designs 👇

And for everyone else, just click the buttons, it's really satisfying :)

Custom range slider for billow.software based on Radix UI.

h/t to @cedric.design for the design ✨

Agent Skills in general really are one of the best innovations of the last couple of months when it comes to coding agents.

I'm experimenting quite a lot with them these days and it's so interesting. Especially because they are essentially just .md files (with additional references, if needed).

Interesting Claude Code skill to get more polished designs. Especially handy if you don't have a fixed design ready and want to iterate.

I used to just append prompts with "Think about how Dieter Rams would approach this", but this skill is so much more comprehensive.

My timeline didn't lie, this video is a masterpiece. Better story arc than most MCU movies ;)

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

Reposting @stevedylan.dev

Curiosity got the best of me: I built an aggregator for @standard.site 😅 Very much a first iteration and could use a lot more features, but a fun challenge all the same. Will probably do another blog post about the process and architecture when I have time!

Like with FocusFlight (apps.apple.com/us/app/focus...), these airport/flight metaphors just work for me :D

Affinity is free now and an all-in-one tool?

I'm a bit worried there is some sort of catch here (maybe not now but in the future) and that a one-time fee like before would have felt more reassuring.

But let's be happy while it lasts, Affinity is great :)

Excited for you to try it.

🎨 TIL why OKLCH is a superior color format compared to HSL (which is what I currently use most often).

In short, OKLCH supports the wider P3 color space natively and it works with perceived lightness instead of the absolute one.
