this is what atproto needs to win

Finished up the landing page for those curious to learn more about Protobase and it's offerings. Added a waitlist, give any suggestions or ask any questions if things aren't clear enough. Pricing is not set in stone, but it will start at $19/mo for 100 accounts. 📮 Join the waitlist → protobase.at

it's coming sooner, rather than later. follow along. protobase is a b2b pds saas, going to make it possible for application developers to easily spin up a pds in minutes

been on a testing bender and have always hated that i can't really test my stuff on protocol. so i spent too much time and tokens working on a package that can standup an atproto testnet (pds, plc & relay) to have full integration testing locally. no more bs, fakes, mocks, and gaps in coverage

The first article published on Offprint. @tynanpurdy.com on ownership, portability, and why he's done with platforms. Thanks for being first, Tynan. "People over protocols, protocols over platforms" is a better manifesto than anything we could have written.

New landing page, who dis? We're adding some final touches to the app and doing some sanity checks as we speak. We will start onboarding users from the waitlist in the coming weeks for the private beta! If you're not on the list, you might want to hurry! 🎟️ Request an invite → offprint.app (🧵 1/3)

New handle, who dis? We realized @dept.social was not intuitive to read. But it turns out .PT TLDs exist. So we're @socialde.pt now (as long the extra verification gets approved). Way easier to read!

I have created a open PDS that is meant for testing accounts. Any account created on this PDS will be deleted in 7 days of its creation. Thought we needed a good way to test stuff without worrying about wasting other peoples compute/storage. Made this to test the account creation stuff

Another package for you all, this one isn't AT Protocol related. But we're working on the theme engine for @offprint.app publications and needed pretty colors. Generate beautiful tailwind color palettes with shades from 50 to 950 with just a single color in #Laravel. github.com/socialdept/c...

Another package for you all integrating AT Protocol into your Laravel applications. Resolver handles resolving DIDs, handles and PDS endpoints for you. Just provide an `actor` and it'll figure it out for you. github.com/socialdept/a...

📢 Announcement, secret project launched! Say hello to Social Headers (@headers.social), a curated gallery of the best designed headers on the Atmosphere/Bluesky. Feel free to submit suggestions if you know any! We will trying to post new finds once daily! 📮 Try it out → headers.social/submit

🎉 Initial stable release v1.0.0! Consume real-time AT Protocol events in your Laravel application. We changed the package name a bit to keep things consistent and clear as we continue to contribute AT Protocol packages to the Laravel community. github.com/socialdept/a...

We decided to separate the concerns of the Laravel package we mentioned on @offprint.app. The first package that will be handling watching the Firehose for events is Signal: github.com/socialdept/s...
