Bento -> blento, name checks out. Apologies can you briefly describe bento?

This might be a bat shit crazy idea but... you could just click on the word that says Bento.me, it's called a link and it takes you to other places like the Bento page so you can see what it's all about. The interweb is full of links that take you places, it's crazy! Technology is nuts! 🤯

rusting earth you are a shit click the link yourself. tell me how useful it is! i dare you.

bento originally describes a type of layout where you have different sized boxes in a grid (the name comes from japanese bento boxes, that have different sized compartments). that's been a trend for a while in web design and bento.me just made it easy to create your own website using that layout

Wonderful! Been playing around creating my profile for the past hour or so. ^^ Would be nice if the big social icon feature would also recognise @pagebound.bsky.social :)

Bento boxes. Cool idea. I made a quick b(l)ento here blento.app/tgoerke.bsky... Also playing with self-hosting on cloudflare. Deployment fails because of wrong KV store in my config. I opened an issue on github.

how are you handling schema evolution? been running into interesting constraints around versioning custom lexicons when the data structure needs to change but old records still exist.

Such a good use case of atproto !

Nice work! Self-hostable export options would make this even more valuable.

Here's mine ^^ blento.app/danilotakagi...

Muito legal, obrigado pra testar :) ja tou vendo algumas coisas q vou tentar melhorar! vc viu alguma coisa q nao gostou/tem sugestaos? (e desculpa pelo meu portugues ruim :P)

Rename your oauth client metadata url to “/oauth-client-metadata.json” and reduce your OAuth scopes please

funny how sometimes you avoid doing something for days that then turns out to be less than 30 minutes of work 😅 (though I do wish there was an option to just request `app.blento.*`) that looks a lot nicer now...

lol I know right? Take a look at what @baileytownsend.dev did with this lexicon permission set: lexicon.garden/lexicon/did:... It’s prob the cleanest way to go.

How to add Sources (RSS)?!

Will be trying to put this to use for a.roomy.space asap, awesome stuff 🤩👏 What makes the site editing desktop-only for now? Not a problem, just wasn’t expecting that order of device support from a Svelte app.

How can you "own your data" if its on someone else's server? Is it encrypted? Does your audience need to have a key to read it?

Well, I'm not the best person to explain how that works (I'm just using it to build fun website :P), but the way i understand it: - bluesky is one of (potentially) many apps that run on top of a protocol "at proto" - in that protocol everyone has their own little server (personal data server = PDS)

- you *can* totally selfhost your PDS (see github.com/bluesky-soci...), but you can also let someone else do it for you (most everyone on bluesky lets bluesky host their PDS), but even if someone else does it for you, you can always move your PDS somewhere else (using some cryptographic magic, ...

Have you seen @standard.site ? Might be a neat way to contain all the bento elements

Yeah I took a look at that and might still adopt it (don’t tell anyone but i havent actually specced a schema yet, basically just acted like my records are random json files 🫣), the main @standard.site schema did look a bit *too* blog format specific though, but havent explored it much

i agree with this, i helped make @standard.site but also @woosh.link and i feel like the site.standard lexicon is a bit overkill and out of scope for this particular niche

Shoutout to @benharri.org and @polijn.bsky.social for being for first two to try it out 🔥 blento.app/polijn.bsky.... blento.app/benharri.org
