Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned

One of the web apps I made with Attie, in about a minute, with a very simple prompt.

I wrote about my #AtmosphereConf experience. I hope it's as cathartic to read as it was for me to write. Thank you, everyone, for this amazing experience. All I wish is that we had more time.

I thought this might be like 5-6 people and take less than an hour…turned out we had closer to 20 ppl and talked for almost 2 hrs, covered a lot of ground & lots in store to advance standard.site!

Back from ATmosphere Conf 2026: https://micro.chadkohalyk.com/2026/03/31/back-from-atmosphere-conf.html

I've been sitting with this definition of slop for a sec and it feels about right, or at least directionally correct. It's also part of why I think LLM-generated code, fairly or not, avoids many of the same pitfalls as writing, images, or video.

I'm still digesting atmosphere conf [+ drafting + scheming etc] but one big takeaway: It was *great* to see the diversity of participants: ~scientists/academics ~journalists/media/publishing ~artists/musicians ~local communities Foundations to build real value for specific contexts & communities!

thoughts on ai & how it relates to the atmosphere

Oh, I missed this!

Here's the updated "Funding Models Are Not Binary" slide from my Feature/Product/Business talk #ATmosphereConf. Turns out there are even more great examples already in the Atmosphere!

this was my list of important topics going in to atmosphereconf. how did it hold up? funding models and precarity the main one here. VC model and re-distribution of money within ecosystem getting the most air time. I feel like the tangled raise didn't get celebrated/studied as much as it should...

Third day in a row I've woken up annoyed at myself for not coming up with this very good iykyk joke

@goose.art @zzstoatzz.io @chadtmiller.com @alex.bsky.team @jimray.locket.computer

Speaking of encryption, I'm using @germnetwork.com now, @tessa.germnetwork.com's talk on consent as a core design principle completely won me over.

Me sewing, me reaping

AtmosphereConf 2026 is a wrap! We hope all the remote attendees had a great Streamplace experience. When VODs, you ask? They're actually up right now! They're `place.stream.video` records in this repo. One catch: no frontend yet. That's where you come in. Welcome to the Streamplace VOD JAM.

Made it home from Atmosphere Conf just before midnight and plugged my PDS in. This is the first conference I can remember making it home more excited than exhausted in maybe … ever? Amazing time thank you to everyone!

A recap of #atmosphereconf 2026 as well as an overview of why I'm spending my very limited free time in my life betting on ATProto (and why I think you should, too!) This isn't just for developers. This is for everyone. brittanyellich.com/atproto/

Yep internet publishing is now feature complete, thanks everyone!

Great to meet the entire @standard.site core team, all in one place. This group is so good, we solved taxonomy *and* language interoperability in afternoon working group.

Getting weird online with @dame.is “I realized the web wasn’t built for me, it was built for big corporations with shareholders”

Designing for the Atmosphere with some of the most forward thinking folks in the ecosystem: Bluesky’s own @darrin.bsky.team, @brookie.blog from @pckt.blog, @aetheros.computer mad scientist @montoulieu.dev, and 3 million moths in a trenchcoat @dame.is

“Other moderation tools are possible” @drkalyncoghill.blacksky.team on the different approach @moderation.blacksky.app is taking

“What if atproto had components?” a question @danabra.mov couldn’t let go of

Helvetica ampersand club with @samvie.eurosky.social

Come join us at 2:30pm to discuss EAR (Ecosystem Action Research) at #AtmosphereConf in room 2311

“Am I proud of this? Am I proud to bring this into the world?” @komorama.bsky.social with the right question anyone building something should ask.

Do you or someone you love need a free tshirt? Stop by the swag table, I’m out of room in my suitcase!

@jonathanwarden.com has done so much good work on building a community notes feature for atproto, happy to see him share it with the ecosystem

Damn. @devingaffney.com just gave an incredible talk at the Atmosphere Conference. If you missed it watch the video.

「ニュース組織がATプロトコルを基盤として構築すべき方法と理由」のパネル。 Bluesky DevRel の @jimray.locket.computer が司会、英語の速報ニュースフィードなどを作っているフィナンシャルタイムズのジャーナリスト @aendra.com とSillなどを作った @tylerjfisher.com が登壇。 フィードなど便利な機能があっても見つけにくい問題の指摘、AIアクセス増加でニュースのメタデータに機械的にアクセスしづらくなっている状況においてのstandard.siteのようなものの重要性、など。 #ATmosphereConf

Good morning #ATmosphereConf! Welcome to Day 2 (or 5 in some cases 😅). @jimray.locket.computer is hosting a convo with @aendra.com and @tylerjfisher.com about How and Why News Orgs Should build on #atproto

@patak.cat and @zeu.dev taking the stage to talk @npmx.dev

“I’m Jim from Bluesky. The Jim who talks shit not does shit.” It’s good to have a personal brand.

I’m giving a lighting talk today at 4:10 about how we run systems like the PDS fleet and AppView at scale. See you there!

Thanks everyone who came to my Cirrus talk at #atmosphereconf. Somehow it all went smoothly and I deployed a PDS over conference wifi. The slides are now here: talks.mk.gg/2026/atmosph...

Was not expecting the protocol conference to be so… emotional?

oh i forgot to mention in my talk, but some of us small indie relay operators are getting together to make @firehose.club so we can share network limit bumps and bans and build some shared tooling. we can go further together <3

Bluesky leans into AI with Attie, an app for building custom feeds

Our hosts @knowtheory.net and @bmann.ca announcing AT Community Fund grantees. Congrats to @drkalyncoghill.blacksky.team, @tylerjfisher.com, @trezy.codes, and @scoiattolo.mountainherder.xyz!

@aendra.com has such a smart theory of media and technology, so much more sophisticated and necessary beyond just distribution. Listen to Aendra!

Today, we’re excited to introduce Attie, currently as an invite-only closed beta. Attie is the first agentic social app on atproto. It’s something completely new — an experiment in making building on the protocol more accessible.

Protocol steward and chief innovation officer @jay.bsky.team introduces @attie.ai and @pfrazee.com demos Attie in action. If you’re at Atmosphere Conf you’re invited. Check your email!

OK, that's TWO ATproto projects I've checked out from #ATmosphereConf that are using Starlight for their docs. I publish the @astro.build newsletter on Tuesday, so if your app has an Astro/Starlight website that isn't already in our showcase, holler back so it gets included!

Paul mentioned Taproot, which @sri.xyz just launched at the conference with an all new set of tools for working with atproto, in his keynote. Check out everything here

State of the Atmosphere to round out an amazing first conference day with Bluesky’s CTO and head ecosystem outshouter @pfrazee.com

Next lightning talk is from the inimitable @mmccue.bsky.social who’s here to convince us feeds are the new websites
