Statusphere Feed Generator#

Overview#

A minimal feed generator in TypeScript that filters the firehose for statusphere collection events and posts to a delegated account the status as a post type as the feed at bsky.app does not consume arbitrary types. New developers interacting with atproto quickstart demo app statusphere will make this feed. It also serves as a showcase to help new@devs understand deploying custom feeds
