This is an implementation of a Bluesky Feed Generator for the serverless platform Vercel. It is configurable to provide any number of feeds which show the latest posts from a selection of users.
This implementation's official instance is feed.zyntaks.ca.
atfeed is configured through environment variables:
FEED_ENDPOINT: The feed endpoint, e.g.https://feed.zyntaks.ca/.FEED_DID: The Feed DID. Should bedid:web:your.feedendpoint.domain, such asdid:web:feed.zyntaks.ca.BSKY_USER: Your bluesky username, without the@.BSKY_PASSWORD: Your bluesky password. Keep this safe in a secret manager, please.
Vercel KV environment variables (used by @vercel/kv, which can be swapped out for redis):
KV_URLKV_REST_API_URLKV_REST_API_TOKENKV_REST_API_READ_ONLY_TOKEN
A command-line utility, npm run cli, is used to create and edit feeds, including managing their
published information. Ensure your local .env file contains all the configuration environment variables.
Unlike the official reference implementation of a feed generator, atfeed doesn't continuously consume the bluesky 'firehose' of posts. Instead, due to its serverless nature, it requests posts on-demand whenever a feed is requested of it. This means feeds run on this generator are potentially slower to load, but likely cheaper to operate as well.
It should be easy to adapt to other serverless platforms, if you wish to do so - simply replace the "vercel KV" library with a regular redis library and adjust the entry-points of each page.
