Focaccia anyone?

It’s fresh out of the oven 😉🍞

Got home in time for totality!

2nd picture was taken by my daughter who’s at an observatory!

Would love some help in testing the new search of starter packs I've been building (like a crazed mad man).

Just visit this super secret URL and search:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

Let me know if it's slower/faster and you get better results.

Yesterday I got tagged about generating a "I've moved to Bluesky" banner for Twitter.

Well I've built it 😂

Just enter your handle, and we'll generate the banner for you:
blueskydirectory.com/moved-to-blu...

Thanks to @justinjackson.ca for original idea and @chadtimbl.in for the banner I used!

I built blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

All - Bluesky Directory

A curated collection of all things relating to the Blue Sky social media platform.

Ok let's get this #buildinpublic going.

Like everyone getting active here, I'm looking for resources to help me make the most of the platform.

I found a couple of Github repos and blog posts with lists of tools to get started, but not a great directory.

So I'm gonna build one...

For the first time (ever?) @blueskydirectory.com is getting more traffic from search (google mainly) than any other source.

In the past this has consistently been "None", ie, people clicking a link in the bsky app.

Excited to see this continue as more people transition here.

#seo #buildinpublic

You know the weird thing, until today I didn't actually have a starter pack of my own 😂

Thought I'd curate a collection of independent developers making tools and applications for Bluesky (makes sense right?)

Collected the recent Bluesky press that included links to @blueskydirectory.com

Taylor Swift Fans Are Leaving X for Bluesky After Trump’s Election

Swifties say they’re leaving X over Elon Musk’s support of Donald Trump—and the rhetoric that has erupted on the platform following Trump’s win.

Since you're all so nice to follow me, how about you get early access to the database of lists I'm making.

I've managed to collect over 7000 lists (I'm sure there are lots more to find) and the quest continues, but I figured it's useful as is:

All - Bluesky Directory

I started working on @blueskydirectory.com on 10/25, blown away that it just passed 250K visits and flew past 9000 starter packs listed!

Thank you to everyone for the kind words and bug reports, its been so much fun!

🎉 Not on my bingo card for today, but @blueskydirectory.com was linked from a Wired article! Thank you #swifties

🐦 Popped my head into Twitter land.

🦋 Saw all my indie friends talking about Bluesky.

👋 Welcome everyone!

When I joined Bluesky there was around 45K users, and we're at nearly 17.5M right now! 🤯

My directory has been seen by over 300K people.

Collected over 14K Starter Packs you all have created, 160+ Labelers and now over 3600 lists.

Feels like we're just getting started!

#buildinpublic

Made a couple of small updates to @blueskydirectory.com today.

As you search the URL will update with your query, and you can link to the results, eg:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

You can also search by creator, for example:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

Sorry for the unexpected downtime.

I've upgraded the web servers.

I've upgraded the database server.

Not that I know off at the moment, but I'm working on adding Feeds to @blueskydirectory.com so that may change 😉

Added 9 new products to @blueskydirectory.com tonight, got a little side tracked with related site updates.

Got more todo tomorrow.

Check them out at:

🔥 One of the benefits of upgrading all the server infrastructure, is that load times are blazing now.

Feel bad it took me so long to upgrade, sorry everyone, gonna make sure we stay blazing fast from now on.

On Bluesky, having a cool domain name, is better than grabbing a username early 😂

Register those domains people!

I love that people think about @blueskydirectory.com when they want to find starter packs, but it's already so much more than that.

Excited to add even more to it:
blueskydirectory.com
