- Loops is a federated, open-source TikTok
Loops launches as a federated, open-source short-form video platform, but Hacker News commenters broadly dismiss it, citing federation's niche appeal and the format's inherent harms.
- A Social Filesystem
Hacker News commenters debate the AT Protocol's social filesystem metaphor, praising its elegance but criticizing overengineering and centralization risks.
- A Social Filesystem — overreacted
The article argues that social media data should be stored as open files in a distributed filesystem, using the AT Protocol's records, lexicons, and DIDs to decouple data from apps.
- Internet Handle
The piece argues that domains should serve as universal internet handles, and AT Protocol-based apps like Bluesky already enable this.
Takes
This is great. Anyone who cheers for the open web should wish Firefox well. And for them to realize that catering exclusively to bsky loonies won't arrest their decline is progress.

I wanted to see if I could make a book from my 36,000 tweets. So I downloaded my twitter archive and asked Claude to turn it into a feature-rich library Features include: • AI search • "Dark academia" color scheme • Filters & sorting for date, engagement #s, length, etc • A Tinder-style swipe view for curation (like/superlike/pass) The most useful feature has been Claude's assigning of tags based on topic & type. This lets me see that, for instance, I have 272 tweets on aesthetics, so perhaps there's a book to be made on this topic. Eventually, I realized that – since I was using the app to do curation – I could also use it to recirculate my best material across Substack, Bluesky, and other platforms. So I asked Claude to build a queue for scheduling longform content on these platforms and another for scheduling shorter tweets. These last two features aren't fully finished yet. But if you want to build your own, you can grab my Markdown file from the Github link in my reply. Just copy-paste it to your Claude. No technical expertise needed (I certainly don't have any)
