Sort of. There isn’t another platform to migrate to at the moment. But this link explains how to self-host your data (PDS) https://atproto.com/guides/self-hosting
And in general, because of the way the protocol works, you could easily build a new app and just use the data that Bluesky wrote. So another platform wouldn’t even need users to “migrate”, since it’s “being your own data”
Just because BlueSky isn’t federated doesn’t mean it’s (totally) centralized. It uses the AT protocol which means user data lives in a separate place than the app itself. While the BlueSky app is centralized all the user data (your posts, likes, etc) live in a separate place and can be self-hosted. This means that if BlueSky went bust or something, users could easily just move to a new platform that someone would inevitably create and all of their data, likes, follows would all be there.
I've been doing typelit.io and typing out a whole book, which I think is helping since it's a more realistic typing scenario. I'd love to see your layout if you're willing to share, I'm always interested in seeing peoples' different approaches.
I was at about 80 WPM before I'd say. In the beginning and when I first made this post I was putting in at least an hour of practice every day. After this post I hit a wall the practice stopped yielding as much improvement which hurt my motivation. I'm still sticking with it though, and since 60 is fast enough to work without issue, I figure my speed will improve naturally over time.
I'm still enjoying the journey, and I've been having fun getting function layers working and trying to work my way towards eliminating keys!
Thanks, I think those early speed gains were exciting so I wanted to keep that up but it's not totally realistic. Doing day-to-day stuff and building speed over time makes sense though.
I recently got a ZSA Moonlander and started learning colemak dh. It's been a really fun journey so far and I'm now able to type consistently at 60 WPM. However, as you can see from the chart I've sort of hit a plateau at 60 and I'm having trouble breaking it.
I think it's time to switch up my training strategy. So far, I've been using keybr.io and typelit which have both been great. Are there any other tools folks have used during this not-quite-beginner but not-yet-fast stage?
Maybe you can be the one to build it!
My guess is that nothing yet exists because A) the official app is generally pretty good and B) Bluesky is pretty newly popular so the demand wasn’t there yet
