Glamorous Toolkit for AT Protocol

This is an environment for AT Protocol built in Glamorous Toolkit (GT).

GT is the moldable development environment through which we can construct dedicated experiences. This specific project offers such a dedicated experience for the AT Protocol.

It covers several things at different levels of abstraction.

• Creating posts and threads from inside the knowledge management system.
• Working with a server through AT Protocol.
• Streaming and pagination support out of the box.
• Inspecting and visualizing results.
• Code generation from lexicons to Smalltalk code.
• Dedicated styling and completion support for exploring and editing lexicon JSON files.

Read the announcement blog post.

Feature requests

I see my own posts via an instance of AppBskyActorDefsProfileViewDetailed. Fine. But when I click on the avatar of a card, I get a AppBskyActorDefsProfileViewBasic, which has less information and in particular not the profile's posts. I tried to figure out how to get an AppBskyActorDefsProfileViewDetailed from the AppBskyActorDefsProfileViewBasic, but I didn't get very far. THere doesn't seem to be a way to see a given user's posts.

The other apparently missing (or well-hidden) data is my timeline.

Posting from the BlueSky snippet raises errors with some text patterns

The very first message I tried to post was:

In strict conformance with the Scientific Method (note the capitalization!), I verify @tudorgirba.com 's affirmation that I can post to BlueSky from Glamorous Toolkit by myself. If you see this text, it works for me.

This raises an exception because something went wrong with processing the handle:

I edited the text to remove the handle, and then wrote a second message about the error message. But app.bsky.feed.post also got parsed into a facet (whatever that is), and led to the same error message again.

Wrong avatar displayed in the "post cards" view

The screenshot below shows on the bottom a post by someone else that I reposted, but it is shown with my avatar on it. This happens with all reposts from Michael Nielsen's account, possibly because he has not set a user name. It also happens with reposts from other people, but not systematically (looks random to me).
