yeah that was one of the articles that got me curious about atproto. very clever hack.
like the article mentions, blobs are little different in the sense that they can't be independently added to the PDS. there needs to be a another record created right after the blob upload that references it. Otherwise the blob gets deleted.

sounds like an interesting feature to add, will check on how feasible it is (along with some possible guardrails to not abuse the system). thanks for the suggestion!
This is nice! Was looking for exactly a similar feature in a previous HN discussion [0]. Want something that I can integrate with IFTTT/Zapier.
I was looking to buy one of ESC/POS compatible printer but none of the official sites seem to sell directly on the site and have to contact their sales to get a quote. I see a few on ebay and from third party sellers in Amazon.
Does anyone have a recommendation on where to buy an official / new one without going through the sales call hassle? Or buying from 3rd parties is the only option?
This is cool. Please make it so its not just for news and developer friendly so it can print any content on demand using api. Tried to use a "memobird" printer for similar purpose but couldn't get any support for their API.
