Matt Brailsford details the development of a Bluesky tips bot for UMB.FYI, which monitors mentions and responds with thank-you messages. He discusses the setup process, opting for a polling method due to bandwidth concerns, and outlines the bot's architecture, including the implementation of a Bluesky client for handling notifications.
With the rise of Bluesky users and the Umbraco community, a tips bot has been introduced to facilitate content suggestions for the UMB.FYI newsletter. Users can easily submit tips by tagging the UMB.FYI account on social media. The initiative aims to keep the community informed across various platforms.
In the latest update to the UMB.FYI newsletter, Matt Brailsford introduces new features including profile pages for content creators, tag pages for article categorization, and topic pages that group related tags. These enhancements encourage community contributions and aim to improve user engagement with the newsletter's content.
