awesome find on @frontpage.fyi
a website to destroy all websites - henry.codes
my takeaway: build convivial tools that uplift humanity, reject commodification
also, the UI design here is just mind-blowing
Wait, what?
Attention developers!
If you're interfacing with Frontpage data there's a call to action to update your code 🚀
You can just share stuff
Yep, this is on the roadmap!
🚀 You can now create an account right within Frontpage app
@bsky.app will host your data but you don't need a profile on Bluesky if you don't want one!
As always you can still login with your existing account on the Atmosphere either by entering your handle, PDS URL, or with with Bluesky 🦋
We just deployed a change that will massively improve the performance and reliability of Frontpage 🚀
This unlocks a bunch of new features that we're looking forward to bringing you all 👀
😍 so sick!
The AT Protocol allows applications like Frontpage to interoperate with other data on the network but right now we don't use it for much.
Today we use this to populate your frontpage profile/avatar from your Bluesky profile.
Good question, I don't think we have that written down yet!
Right now you use the same account to login to both Bluesky and Frontpage. All of your data is stored in the same place as your Bluesky data.
In the future we might use this data for more things eg. suggesting communities to join based on your Bluesky interactions but no concrete plans for that yet!
The @nor.dev conf schedule just dropped 👀
Excited to be talking about @frontpage.fyi! Haven't quite decided if it's gonna be a deeply technical talk or one about communities, protocols, and the success and failures of side projects yet though
Fixed now!
If you've tried to create a post or comment or vote in the last 15 or so hours it should show up once we roll out the fix
Frontpage is currently in read-only mode while we fix a critical bug. Issue has been identified and we're working on a fix. Hang tight!

If you visit a profile on Ouranos, you'll see a new "Atmosphere" tab. This is part of an ongoing process of supporting ATProto apps. So far I've added support for @frontpage.fyi, @linkat.blue, and @whtwnd.com. The design will evolve as I test and experiment, and I'm aiming to support more apps.
We rewrote a piece of our infrastructure from scratch to solve this and it's now live 🎉
The posting experience should be greatly improved and we have more improvements to come. As always please tag us if you run into any errors
The app is pretty flaky right now, we're looking into it!
🌟 WhiteWind Update 🌟
Thank you for always using WhiteWind.
We have implemented a new feature that allows rich rendering of links from Frontpage, a service where you can post article links and engage in discussions on atproto!
For more details, please check the article on link cards.
*uses!
Nope, it's a separate app that user the same underlying account/identity
bsky.app/profile/dana...
Head to frontpage.fyi and enter your handle, you'll be redirected to a Bluesky login page (your atproto host) where you can login and grant access. That should be it! Any questions just shout 😎
A chart with two graphs, one red one blue. The first chart, which is blue, has a higher more gradual spike. Followed by the red graph which spikes later in a more extreme way, but quickly dips below the tail of the blue chart.
Frontpage algorithm visualized 📉
Blue and Red are the rank scores of two Frontpage posts over time.
Blue = a post that gets 50 votes in the first five hours
Red = a post that's posted a day after Blue and never gets any votes
An honour 🫡
Aaaaand we're back!
Looks like Bluesky is having some issues causing Frontpage to be unavailable for most people. If you have a self hosted PDS you can probably still use the app though 🙈
There will still be bugs, so please shout about them when something weird happens!
If you're looking to contribute you can drop into our GitHub repo - soon we'll be releasing documentation and tooling to make contributing to Frontpage as easy as possible 💖

Hey folks! Small update from us: Frontpage is now available to everyone 🎉
Login at frontpage.fyi to start posting and voting.
Lot's of updates to come. We're working hard on bringing notifications to the app. Further out will be decentralised & sovereign sub-communities.
Sorry, Bill.
