i have a feeling this is going to get some use...

i'm starting a diary on atmospheric login as a way to explore the topic in some depth. our login experience is how everyday folks will form their understanding of what the atmosphere even is—and the design space is super rich. the web may also have some tricks up its sleeve for us...

For our next Off Protocol Live, we're doing a permissioned data AMA with @dholms.at. Reply to this thread with your questions and tune into the livestream for more.

I started writing one thing and got off on this tangent so now I guess there are two things? anyways atproto feels special in a way I tried to put into words

surprise! Shipped something on a Friday 🙂 endpoints.bsky.app is the new home for the HTTP API reference that used to live in docs.bsky.app — should be much easier to reference for quick lookups and you can even mock up / test endpoint responses in the browser!

We have a guest post this week from community member @rpg.actor! What if your RPG character could log in to any game? atproto.com/blog/rpg-actor To celebrate, we're giving away a limited edition AT Hat 😊 rpg.actor/gift?token=7... Take a look — there's a Builder Jam(!) next week: rpg.actor/jamming

i wouldn't be surprised if the atmosphere looks at communities as a central end-user facing idea—on par with "apps"—by the end of the year. it really is the atmosyear yall

Video and transcript from my talk at QCon London are now online. Thanks @qconferences.com! www.infoq.com/presentation...

this should have been an atmospheric website

I am interested in surfacing people and organizations who are available for paid consulting around atproto. Ideally the community can help vouch for folks as interest grows.

CODETV ATPROTO FULL EPISODE IS OUT! Once again thank you to @jason.energy and @codetv.dev team for the invite, @bsky.app and @jimray.bsky.team for making it happen, and ofc @pds.dad, @bryn.codes, @brittanyellich.com, @dame.is, and @awarm.space for the shenanigans we made together! ATPROTO FTW ☁️✨🙌

IT'S TIME COME WATCH WITH US www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-Xy...

some thoughts on how we model communities on top of the permissioned data protocol this is less a proposal and mainly I have a couple questions at the end that i'm genuinely trying to figure out rn. give it a read and let me know your thoughts!

mood

new blog post: how standard.horse works. wherein I accidentally talk way too much about RSS and forget what I originally set out to say

BONUS! There's a new episode of Off Protocol with @aka.dad, @awarm.space, and @brookie.blog from the @standard.site team. atproto.com/off-protocol...

This is what “everything ecosystem” means. Bluesky isn’t going to build a longform blogging service. What they can do with longform (and many other atproto apps) is use the shared formats of the atmosphere to enhance the experience and interaction with your content, wherever you like to post.

It's official, @bsky.app has integrated @standard.site into the app! This means posts from @pckt.blog, @offprint.app, and @leaflet.pub get a richer treatment in the app. More details about how this works on the atproto blog: atproto.com/blog/standar...

v1.122 is rolling out today, featuring a better way to discover and share articles, blog posts and newsletters across the Atmosphere via new, dynamic Standard.site link cards. 🧵

WordPress joins the Atmosphere 🙌

Congrats to @wordpress.org & @pfefferle.org for shipping the first 1.0.0 version of an Atmosphere plugin for WordPress. WordPress posts are published as microblog posts as well as @standard.site long form posts. Read all the other features in the blog post

we're excited to bring this integration with standard.site to Bluesky soon! we're starting with enhanced link cards. when you share a link to an article hosted by a standard.site platform like @leaflet.pub @offprint.app @pckt.blog, a more elaborate link card will appear here.

✨ Atmosphere devs ✨ Bluesky is integrating Standard Site, and our initial work should be released in the next few days. Here's what that means for publishers and apps in the ecosystem: github.com/bluesky-soci... If you have questions or comments, please leave them on the GitHub Discussion thread!

New atproto podcast! Off Protocol

We're changing up the format of office hours a bit, starting with something of a rebrand. Tune in to Off Protocol LIVE tomorrow to find out more.

About to have the best work day ever with @bryn.codes @dame.is @awarm.space @pds.dad and @zeu.dev (plus @jimray.locket.computer and @jason.energy off camera!)

We have some news you can use on the blog this fine Monday! Ozone, our mod tool, is adding a new *report-based* moderation workflow, which enables higher-context moderating, better collaboration, auditing, and more! Check it: atproto.com/blog/report-...

new data diary! this is the most in the weeds yet, all revolving around our proposed URI structure for permissioned data. turns out you can figure out a lot about a protocol from the uri! as always, let me know what you think :)

"explode a social media app's infrastructure so that it spans the internet instead of a datacenter" sounds dumb but it basically works

Tomorrow on The Pragmatic Engineer Podcast: Designing Data Intensive Applications with @martin.kleppmann.com

Yes, it's true! @brittanyellich.com crushed it in shipping a v0.1 version of a new community hub at atmosphere.community Features: @standard.site aggregation powered by @opensocial.community, group calendar, regional communities etc etc etc

made a thing i've always wanted for nodejs: easy-to-use worker threads w/ shared memory. all respect to piscina but the dx never landed for me. also first experience using @tangled.org for oss work and it rules. ci was very easy to set up with spindles and runs faaast.

We just set up shop over on surf.social, a new platform that combines Bluesky posts with podcasts, YouTube, RSS, and more — rolling it all into custom feeds. You can find us here: verge.surf.social vergecast.surf.social decoder.surf.social versionhistory.surf.social

Pleased to announce that an Authenticated Transfer Protocol (ATP) working group has been created at the IETF! Grateful to everybody who participated in the BoF and chartering process. Details on next steps and how to get involved inside. atproto.com/blog/kicking...

still vibrating from #AtmosphereConf. everyone was so brilliant and coooool 😭 we have something special here yall

About the Atmosphere I’m writing this from the beautiful UBC campus in Vancouver where ATmosphereConf 2026 is taking place. It’s a gathering of developers, researchers, and entrepreneurs who are passionate about keeping the... https://toni.org/2026/03/27/about-the-atmosphere/

Okay, so a little while ago, I was asked to run an office hours event, where people could ask me their questions on AT Protocol, OAuth, etc Here's that event: atmo.rsvp/p/thisismiss...

I will not be at the #AtmosphereConf this year 😭😭 -- in fact, I'll be out of the office until April 5 (after this weekend!) But I REALLY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU IF YOU'RE GOING AND ARE BUILDING NEW AND INTERESTING THINGS. Dm or Germ or Signal or email me with any news! (Links on profile.)

We've got an updated protocol roadmap out, covering the next few months. Look forward to seeing folks at AtmosphereConf later this week!

The Atmosphere is a new open network. The features: - Your account works on all atmosphere apps - You can switch to a new provider with no fuss - Easy to make your own apps on it - Works great with personal websites And, Bluesky is an atmosphere app.

here it is folks! lots of details to still nail down, but this is roughly where our heads are at for the design of a permissioned data protocol give it a read and let me know your thoughts!

Thrilled to be working with @bad-example.com, whom you know from the excellent @microcosm.blue tools, on making the atproto network ever more resilient atproto.com/blog/introdu...

Some very exciting news - it looks like the working group for AT Protocol at the IETF has been approved! (though not formalized in the datatracker just yet) This is a big milestone in the standards process. But is also just the start of the actual process - years of meetings & work ahead!

buckets are out, spaces are in

the at protocol is amazing. i've read a lot about it and haven't made anything with it yet. macwright.com/2026/03/16/a...

Week 1 observations: toni.org/2026/03/13/i...

continuing to build up our permissioned data protocol! this one asks what a bucket actually is and where the data that constitutes a bucket is stored. it argues for maintaining the atproto ethos in the permissioned data protocol as always, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I started a short blog series to share my experience creating a custom feed for Bluesky — a pet project that started as “let's build a triathlon feed” and (spoiler alert!) now can be used for any topic : ) https://cuducos.me/building-a-custom-bluesky-feed-part-1.html

@jimray.bsky.team: "We're proud to be supporting npmx with a $6K grant as a part of our ongoing ecosystem support. (...) The atmospheric web is bigger than any one application, and projects like npmx are exactly what it looks like in practice" 💙 Thanks a ton, Bluesky team! Cheers to the social web!

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be joining Bluesky as interim CEO. I deeply believe in what this team has built and the open social web they're fighting for. More here: toni.org/2026/03/09/c...
