Well now that I can see some actual post data, this bluesky thing is super complicated.

Also there's just.. no easy way to get a post's url from the API? They give you a weird at: url and you have to take it apart and slot the pieces into an https: url?

@madewokherd They're trying to pretend that the protocol is the thing people use and the website is just some incidental side thing, rather than the other way around

@mcc That is very inconvenient for the admittedly weird way I want to develop for it, which is to dump posts into a static html file chronologically sorted with posts from other places and not think about any interaction beyond that.

@madewokherd Although my use case is different from yours, I have also found the protocol very inconvenient to interact with
