Pieter @montoulieu.dev isn't giving a talk at this year's conference, but he's working on rolling out a fun atproto linked game with @beaconbits.app: an anomaly is forming over the UBC venue in Vancouver!
Follow the app (and login and press the anomaly scanner button in app) to find out more
From logging real world venues with @beaconbits.app to an in-progress cyberpunk desktop OS @aetheros.computer , Pieter @montoulieu.dev is an atproto developer who is joining us at #atmosphereconf this year
Aaaaaand we're back.
โ ๏ธ Heads up, our @convex.dev powered appview is currently experiencing an outage.
We'll reply to this message with an update when all is back to normal.
๐ก Anomaly Update 003
For the last 48 hours, the relay station atop AMS Nest has been analyzing a high frequency signal emanating from the anomaly.
Today this signal abruptly synchronized and revealed a message.
Standby for further instructions...
Love to hear it! Thanks for the help debugging this one and please let me know if you see anything else. ๐
This was very revelatory!
I noticed in the link you posted that the node id was using a fallback of 0.
These venues were getting lumped together in a fallback id, but now should be fixed. Also I think this should be the correct page/pin location?
www.beaconbits.app/venue/osm%3A...
Okay, I think this is resolved.
The issue was our reverse lookup not having full address data for certain areas when creating custom locations or venues.
Changed up the provider for these instances, and also added the ability to adjust where the location pin is. Let me know if that did the trick! ๐
Testing a fix for this now.
Thanks for your patience and bug reports!
Ah yeah, this only detects if your pds is set to blacksky.app. Thanks!
The beacon drawer menu now with View on Blacksky when you're logged into a Blacksky based pds account.
The Beacon checkin drawer now with Post to Blacksky toggle when you're logged into a blacksky based pds account.
Another quick update, but @blackskyweb.xyz users will now see "View on Blacksky" and "Post To Blacksky" throughout the app.
Did some debug testing on this locally, but would love some help to confirm all is working properly on the live app. โ๏ธ

Perfect. This should help me debug.
I think I'll add a confirmation to preview a custom venues location, and add the ability to modify after the fact.
Thanks for the bug report!
Feel free to post anything that'll help debug here and I can help diagnose! ๐
Quite impressed with @beaconbits.app, really brings me back to when I used to post on Foursquare a lot!

Just rolled out several new features, bug fixes and improvements. Here's what's new:
- Anomaly scanner added to nav
- Smoother login flow with saved accounts
- Heatmap option when you zoom out (๐ก@goose.art)
- UX performance gains across the app
Stay tuned for our next update! ๐ก

What is happening???
Prepare yourselves! #AtmosphereConf
The Beacon Bits map showing UBC campus. Relay stations are deployed across the area with signal beams pointed at the anomaly.
Relay stations have been deployed across campus in an effort to further analyze and maybe even communicate with this strange entity.
We will report any changes as they unfold.
Something tells us this is only the beginning...

An overhead night shot of a blue glowing atmospheric anomaly as it floats over the UBC campus. A petal-like shell has now grown and encased the entity inside.
๐ก Anomaly Update 002
The atmospheric anomaly we've been tracking over UBC campus has slowly grown and crystalized into a flower-like pod.
A first pass at a heatmap feature on the Beacon Bits map.

black map of the world with big clusters on western US, europe(france?), japan/korea, the phillipines, one dot in brazil, one dot in hawaii
pretty cool to look at global beaconbits coverage
Nice. I love that idea.
A way to toggle between the heatmap and user clusters when you're this far back would be great.
Let me see how to best go about it.
Keep your eyes to the skies ๐
A strange blue orb floating in the sky.
The blue orb is also showing on my beacon bits map. Not sure what that's about.

Yo @beaconbits.app, you seeing this?

Earlier this week, we detected some interesting signal activity over the UBC campus near Vancouver and have discovered an atmospheric anomaly forming.
Stand by as we analyze. ๐ก

Looking sweet!
You can add pictures by tapping the photo upload button on a beacon detail page.
This lets you thread extra images to the post without hopping back into bsky, but either way they'll display in the image gallery.
Hmm, I just tried the same setup and it worked.
Can you DM me to help narrow this down? Thanks
Thanks for the heads up! Will investigate this now. ๐
