Wow I just clicked download on a 595MB file and looked up and it was finished. #perksofrunningadatacenter
nickdodd.com now with 100% more perma-links to posts. When a post gets shortened for BlueSky the link at the end will be a perma-link to the original post on nickdodd.com where the full un-shortened post will appear. This is kind of like how X handles long posts for Premium and Premium+ users. Only difference is you'll have to leave BlueSky app to see the rest of the post.
So today has been a fun day of coding this web blog software! I've added thorough #BlueSkyIntegration to the backend. This includes adding a new post to BlueSky when the post style is "tweet", deleting posts from bluesky when the post is deleted on the website, and auto-link back for long posts.
This is a test of adding a longer post via the website backend by checking the character length then modifying the string to truncate it and add a link back to the blog so the user can read the full post (because on the website there is no character limit). This post should exceed 300 characters and add a link to the end to my website. The next post will use a custom perma-link url instead of adding my homepage.
Second link test. last one added the link regardless of post length. https://www.nickdodd.com

For some context on my website and on BlueSky: I am posting from my website backend to BlueSky and my website simultaneously. Next I'll be adding post deleting and edit prevention on the website backend to match the social platforms inherited lack of editing that it got from the Twitter code.
12th time's a charm!
Checking to see if I can fetch the URL to the post at time of posting.
The previous post was from my testing script, this one if from the Website backend!
