If that's the case, what is the (very well hidden) "choose your account provider" button on Bluesky's registration page ("You are creating an account on [[Bluesky Social]]") used for? Self-hosted PDS? If so, if it's possible to spin up a temporary PDS with TryCloudflare for the initial set up and keep the did.json hosted on static site instead?

- xeonmc 2y agoWhat I’m thinking of is to use the _redirect file as a manual DDNS with cloudflare pages as a stable url that points to an ephemeral TryCloudflare address of a temp PDS running on my laptop. Does the validation scheme follow through HTTPS redirects?
- evbogue 2y agoThis is an interesting idea that is worth exploring more. I wonder if when your PDS was online if you had some kind of local sync for messages from the people you follow? You wouldn't follow many people, so you could quickly build a local Appview that organizes the posts into a chronological feed. Then you could browse your messages later without an Internet connection.
