Bluesky firehose visualized in a Matrix-style rain

What is this?

Read my blog post about this project!

The social network Bluesky is built on a protocol called the AT Protocol. This protocol enables real-time access to all posts as they're written by users. This service is called Firehose. Firehose messages can be decoded using a simple WebSocket listener on a Jetstream server, which handles JSON encoding, bandwidth reduction, and other useful tasks.

tl;dr: What you see on the screen is a live feed of posts written by Bluesky users, displayed in real time as a Matrix-style rain animation.
