    Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

    So I built it:
    blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

    The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

    Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

    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!

    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.

    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...

    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:

    blueskydirectory.com/lists/all

    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?)

    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...

    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

    If you have any suggestions, please let me know...

    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.

    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!

    Just applied to the AT Protocol Grants Program with @blueskydirectory.com 🤞

    Maybe if enough people like this post that would be a good signal to the team?

    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!

    Just one promoted product spot remaining on blueskydirectory.com

    It can be difficult to advertise on a website that's so new, with no track record, so I appreciate the trust & support!

    Was sweating the hosting cost for a while, but looks like everything is going to be ok.

    Ok Bluesky how about you tell me what I should work on this afternoon?

    More starter pack stuff? Add lists to the directory? Curate more products? Start a new side project?

    What you got for me? 😉

    Sorry for the sluggishness of @blueskydirectory.com.

    Doesn't look like an attack, likely just a scraper, which I don't really understand. I mean the data is on the firehose right?

    Attempting to identify and block the bad actors.
