i don’t have time to make this, but i see a need for this. @pds.ls and @atproto.at are way too complicated for non-atp devs.

i’d love to see a tool that shows collections in simplified form for normal people to navigate through and delete records on their own. abstracting it behind user friendly cooy and language like "delete", "uninstall" and so on.

why?

because ive had users come to me asking how they could delete offprint/standard.site records from their repos, but sending and trying to explain how to use one of the earlier link tools is too much to expect from someone unaware of atproto concepts like collections, records and their repo.

(id like for users to keep their records unless they specifically want to delete them, this is how offprint works correctly. you delete your account, but it wont delete your records off your repo)

being able to link someone to their publication and the tool just knows how to find all of its resources and backlinks to delete the ones owned bu the user would be so fucking nice.

i feel like this would be a great addition to making atproto more usable for non-atproto-natives.

thoughts? nerd snipe? please
