This tool gives insights into the version of English (US or UK) Bluesky posters are using.
This was a weekend project I (@stu.pocknee.com) undertook to try out the BlueSky Firehose API.
It was inspired by (potentially NSFW) efforts such as:
- ATmospheric Digital Rain
- RainbowSky
- EmojiRain
- Into the Bluesky
- Bluesky Visualizers
- Firehose 3D
- SwearSky (NSFW)
- I am...
- Firesky
- Bluesky Mosaic (NSFW)
- Bluesky Signups
Bluesky posts are ingested in real-time and compared against a catalog(ue) of word tuplets with both UK and US spellings.
There is no claim that my self-compiled word list is complete. My comparison method is quick, dirty, and periodically wrong. 🤦♂️
If you want to play with the code, clone it on GitHub.
Feel free to submit patches!
If the above is not enough, there will be an expanded version at my blog.
(Beware. Despite being Australian, I almost always write 'Merican 🤷)
I use Typescript, VS Code, Vite, and Solid-JS.
The firehose relevant code is heavily influenced by (borrowed from) Jake Lazaroff
