Today's (late) stream: creating an Astro integration for oauth login with an ATproto PDS!

(because I'm tired of implementing it over and over) Never created an Astro integration before, so... we'll figure them out together.

P.S. we're so late cause we were concocting evil plans so come hear about them if you're curious 👀

[fujowebdev]

It's that time(s) of the week! Come join our guestbook adventures with authentication (yes, again), styling, and maybe even a delete feature!

[fujowebdev]

Doing some more guestbook work on stream today! The bulk of it will be CSS/Astro work styling the client. Come hang out and talk web development: https://www.twitch.tv/essentialrandomness

Our latest and final "Git"s (Gitea and Forgejo) are finally here

...courtesy of our official catboy artist @doubledeadstudio! Stoked to have them join our panthe(r)on, alongside Git, GitHub and GitLab.

Debuting them in our next newsletter (coming soon) 👀👀

And if you want to help us hire more artists to turn your favorite technologies into hot men (and teach them to folks like you), support us on Patreon!

MY COOKIES CAME TODAYYYY THANK YOU TEAM I LOVE THEM

So glad you love them!! We've been so busy we didn't get to announce it, but YES! our Fandom Cookies shipped this week and they should be making their way to everyone. Some pictures for everyone's viewing pleasure:

We're STOKED to put these in people's hands, and are delighted by the reactions to our fortunes. The team put in a lot of effort into making them fun & relatable, if you have a favorite we'd love to hear about it!! 😉

(P.S. these April 1st limited edition cookies are sold out, but there's plenty more fun merch in our store!)

Stream time!

Come hang out and chat as I continue my guestbook work.

Today we're adding user data to our guestbook entries, so we can see WHO has written us (and their avatar) rather than just their DID!

Join the adventure!

In 1 hour: ATproto guestbook streams start again!

Now that "talks season" is over and I've caught up with pressing work and obligations, it's time to continue the work on the ATproto guestbook. See you on Twitch at 3PM Pacific (IN ONE HOUR!) for the next installation: figuring out what we were even doing a month ago! See you on Twitch!

[fujowebdev]

Rebuilding Community on the (fujo)Web — Part 1

It's (finally) time! A year after my CitrusCon24 talk & 10 days before my next, Part 1 of my "Rebuilding Community" series is on my blog.

This part explores why many indie social projects are caught in a "Downward Spiral" of disillusionment and burnout.

What's the "Downward Spiral"?

It's the vicious cycle where project runner burnout, user disillusionment, and impossible expectations feed each other. This makes it harder for the next project to get off the ground, and breeds resentment even within aligned communities. On… and on… and on…

I also look at the common "solutions" we desperately want to believe would work, but that are anything but straightforward:

Reducing scope (doing less)

Raising more funds

Relying on volunteers

Featuring: one of my favorite charts 👇 as they say, "ouch"

In the next part, we'll explore THE core issue we must fix, one that (once you see it) explains so much of… everything: our relationship to power.

You can watch the full original talk on YouTube, or follow along as I post the rest in the next days!

See you soon at @citruscon for my new talk (and spiritual successor): "Working Together in a Dying World"!

In the meantime, if this presentation convinced you I know what I'm doing (I do), support my work to fix this whole mess on Patreon

Bake Sale #2: The (limited edition) Re-bakening

tl;dr: missed our fandom cookies? Buy them AGAIN for a limited time!

Friends, fujin: production is ready! Our fortunes are chosen, our packaging is selected, and only one foe remains—alas, the most terrible of them all: minimum order quantities.

As we discovered when placing the final order, minimum order for Gluten Free cookies is per flavor. This means we need to sell 5 more packs for each Gluten Free flavor to meet the threshold!

Know someone who hates gluten? Curious about what gluten free flavored fortune cookies taste like (we're told, delicious)? Want to help our founder not meet a terrible fate and have to eat a bunch of unsold cookies herself?

Buy our cookies now for the very last time!

...and don't forget to send this to your friend who hates gluten!

Already bought cookies? Get free shipping at checkout with code ENCORE! Want 15% off? Check out our latest Patreon post!

[fujowebdev]

tl;dr: No stream today!

My talk at CitrusCon nears, and between coordinating the hiring of writers, the production of cookies, and regular @fujocoded operations, I can use all the head-down time I can get.

This talk is timely and necessary, and I hope you'll all enjoy it a lot. Time to go make it all it can be ✨ Wish me luck!

Thanks for tagging us! We're delighted to help spread this translation, but it wasn't made by us. The translator prefers anonymity usually, but allowed me to credit them as 8190 here :) they're flattered you found it helpful!

For people who have a BlueSky account and are interested in spreading their pride as one of these animals, we have a labeler that allows you to claim one. It's borked right now, but we're trying to get it to work again, at which point you'll get your owed label.

And if you ever settle on a yuri version of this, reach out! We'd love help you set up your own "yuri animals" labeler.

In the meantime, the way we see it is that anyone can be a fujin, regardless of ships gender, if they're rotten enough (and proud to be)!

Do you guys know that BL ship dynamic thingy. The one based on Sansukumi-ken? The three-way system of snake-slug-frog that works like rock-paper-scissors?? Ah, just take a look and you'll see what I mean. Credit to @fujowebdev for translating from Japanese.

Anyway. My question is, does this exist for yuri? Should we make one? Which animals would it be??

Also tag yourself. I'm gecko. 🦎 Once I find a dom girl I like I'll ship her with anyone...

This time, we're going back to our roots with an Astro double feature: first we'll help one of our community members create an image gallery for their site, then we'll integrate our Guestbook AppView with an Astro site!

Finally almost done with the learn.fujoweb.dev writers style guide, a prerequisite for hiring writers to help us help EVEN MORE hobbyists pick up advanced webdev skills.

I hope to start looking into candidates next week, in the meantime our survey is still active!⬇️

Spent some time updating our ATProto projects site with our latest work (conference talk + guestbook lexicon). Check it out here:

And IN 2 HOURS come chat with us as we continue building our new Guestbook on Twitch!
