# so i have a coven now
2025-04-22
long time no see huh?
in all seriousness though, in the few years since the last blog post i didn't really have much to write about. most of the projects i tried doing didn't really go anywhere, and the ones that did were so tiny and boring that there wasn't really anything to write about.
this has been bothering me quite a bit lately, so i decided to do something about it.
and so i've started witchcraft systems! the page itself isn't the important part (though i really like how it turned out), what is important is that i'm not alone in doing things anymore! together we can focus on the areas where each of us is the best at, leading to things actually getting done by people who like doing them :3
our main focus at first will be on building out the infrastructure for all our projects, which is quite a lot of work considering what we have planned, but we already have something to show off! you might have noticed that i've been very active on bluesky lately, and one thing that has always bugged me about it was that if you host your own PDS - the page that you get on its URL is just a bit of text and ASCII art, with nothing else of interest. so the first thing we made is called pds-dash, a front-end page for your PDS! It can show off all the users on a specific PDS, as well as all the latest posts from all of them, while not depending on any Bluesky PBC infrastructure. you can see it in action on pds.witchcraft.systems!
of course, this is just the beginning, but i was just too excited about this whole thing to not share it here. hopefully we'll have more to show off soon, and thank you for reading this! ๐
