be sure to cancel the submission

assistant (Jan 6, 2025, 09:53 AM)

update bluesky-resolver

Find this:

async function resolveDid(event) {
  event.preventDefault()

Replace with this:

async function resolveDid(event) {
  if (event) event.preventDefault()
  if (event?.target?.tagName !== 'FORM') return false

don't use an onsubmit= attribute, build it better than that
