jklb.social cute, colorful ATproto client with keybindings

If you have an android and want to be the first jklb mobile tester HMU!!! It would mean downloading just the app from a link I give you.

Very very rough still. But I am using it and kinda liking it.

The ability to answer the question "Is it good?" I think is one of the most important and pressing questions of this age.

@jklb.social is officially multi-protocol. Now supports atproto & Forkiverse (ActivityPub). forkiverse.jklb.social

This was literally a lark 48 hours ago, noticing I had expiring claude credits. The farcaster port attempt went terribly, but then activityPub...basically just worked?

The Glaring Oversight in the U.S. War Plan The Pentagon failed to adopt Ukraine’s best tools for downing drones.

Why didn't the US consult Ukraine, the one country that knows how to country attacks from thousands of cheap drones?

Jesus wept. This is the most horribly ill-conceived UK government public awareness campaign I've ever seen. And that's saying a *lot*. It could easily lead a teen to self-harm, or worse.

It should be urgently and immediately pulled. What are they thinking?!

Changing wifi still trips me up sometimes

Yeah hard agree! The no-steps-back by the core team I'm sure is even more work than it looks like, and they've really pulled it off IMO (and also, thankless since a lot of people don't realize how hard this stuff is!)

I'm pretty sure when I first heard of PDS Moover I didn't know PDSes were a thing that could move. But the framing of it, with the friendly pun, too, lays out exactly what it is and what it's good for.

Things like that are so awesome, that are almost self-descriptive

06.03.2026 03:51 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

approach already kind of does a lot really well, and adding something else would not necessarily help (though I do still wish (as a superuser) I didn't have to keep logging into atproto apps over and over again).

Semi-related: PDS Moover is a masterclass in naming + intention.

Thank you for the thoughtful response!

You have me thinking about my own assumptions going into the premise...I was coming from a place of 'isn't it kinda nice that crypto gives you a 'Front door'/'first page of the choose-your-own-adventure' book, in a wallet. But actually, atproto current

Last 24 hours, with claude code tokens expiring, attempted ports (!) of jklb.social to farcaster and forkiverse (ActivityPub instance).

Farcaster got as far as nicely displaying hardcoded posts, with minimal bugs. Then got absolutely lost in the data model...

Oh awesome! Thank you again for taking the time to answer my noobie question lol.

Appreciate that so many smart, well intentioned people are working on problems like this.

Oh yeah I read a little bit about that! Thanks will keep reading!

Thank you!

Yeah and seeing now ... since it's not a key management problem, trying to solve things with a browser extension could/would create GREATER confusion by making it seem like that's what it is. Again, really appreciate the response!

WIll check out that thread!

06.03.2026 02:24 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I can see why 'key management problem' is definitely not it.

And yeah wallets manage the key, whereas atproto we got the pds.

So yeah an atproto wallet would confuse things probably more lol

and crypto-world onboarding, the flow of 'get a wallet, then use the wallet to engage with the world' ... that maybe abstracts a lot? But is a known place to start.

really do appreciate all the people with more experience answering questions like this!

Thank you, this is why I asked!

Do you know what I mean, though? Just the friction of logging into all the ATProto apps, and that when I talk to people about ATProto and explain how you can just ... use your account they tend to not understand.
