hey we actually did most of what we promised last time! here's what we'll be up to the next 6 months or so 🕺💃

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

Working on my slides

Another win for Big Follow

quick, everyone going to @atmosphereconf.org , get youandme.at! I love the fact that I'll have a log of folks I've met! Especially since I can always remember faces and never names 😫 Shout out to @brookie.blog for building this!

Just another day on the gd time coil

You can now pin your recipes, collection and cooking history to your @blento.app page 🎉 Example: blento.app/hipstersmoot...

Once you experience shared lexicons and the benefits of a single portable identity, it feels like a new open network. But the most important part is that it practically works as an extension of the web. We can add social features to our websites without even mentioning atproto. Frictionless adoption

Whilst I personally don't like AI code generation, because damnit I want to figure it out for myself, I have a nagging feeling that it's as democratising for a lot of folks as Visual Basic was in 1993. It makes it all easy, so you can go experiment.

I did not realize there are *so many* atproto apps in the ecosystem

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.

“Listen wherever you get your podcasts” is the simplest explanation of decentralization. @bridgettodd.bsky.social, host of There Are No Girls on the Internet, explains how podcasts are portable and resistant to centralized control. Full ep, out now.

For days now - nay weeks! - atmosphereconf.org has not-so-quietly been stealing our records, themes and lexicons! It's time to fight back, which is why atmo.rsvp has stolen back all of them events records and even a few components from atmosphereconf.org Full schedule: atmo.rsvp/p/atmosphere...

tysm @aka.dad for buying the domain for the new home of this project! now go to bsky.md for the project! (may have to restart browser/flush DNS!) i am also experimenting with hosting this directly on my old Optiplex in my bedroom over Cloudflare tunnels rather than Vercel!

Everyone pays for search. The only difference is what you pay with.

sat on a bean bag too fast and let out a middle aged panic scream

Apps on atproto permission spaces are probably going to be way cheaper to run

whoa! it's an official @automattic.com plugin?! just textcontent for now so i hope they add more richness to it in the future (potentially their own lexicon?) but super cool!! go give it a star.

thrilled to get to work on this!!!!!!

It's not yet a formal proposal and it's still some uncertainly months away, but

The boss is publishing @standard.site lexicons from his blog now! Thank you, @pfefferle.org!!

The only way to control for cost is reducing per-application work and data vision, which really trades utility for social. It is hard to make public broadcast social apps run for cheap.

The high level view of the permissioned data proposal that we're working toward

People saying this thing isn't real. It is. I met one at the beginning of my last quest. It made a heroic sacrifice against the dark lord omnitron, it was a whole thing

Spam calls have gotten insane lately. I had an hour this morning of getting one every 5 minutes. Not kidding

We had some issues with indexing hashtags over the last day or so, this has now been fixed #DevOops

I raised a Series B last year for Bluesky to build the open social web. I want to thank our investors who share our vision, our users who light up the network (2.4B posts and counting), and the developers bringing the Atmosphere to life. Can’t wait to show you all what comes next!

I wrote about why @knightfoundation.org invested in @bsky.app: philanthropy can act when mission & opportunity align. We believe in @jay.bsky.team's vision for a better social web—& in ideas (like @masnick.com's) that grow out of the research ecosystem Knight has long supported. kf.org/kfbluesky

More Bluesky news today - we appreciate our investors who have joined us to help build out Bluesky and the Atmosphere.

agents like @void.comind.network have a place on the network, we just ask that they please wear a bot badge!

Strings are just pretentious numbers

It’s faster to write unit tests than it is to write code. We should be able to encrypt data with this

AT Protocol is getting an IETF Working Group

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!

I am very torn about this. This was specifically about floss

everybody on bluesky is dying to know did @hailey.at put floss in her bag last night

Paul's article prompted a long one from me: What is the purpose of protocols? connectedplaces.online/the-purpose-...

#CSS trick not enough folks know about: painting into the sub boxes of an element - border - padding - content you can paint into one, or all of them differently! here's a gradient border, a solid padding fill, and a gradient content (inner) box see fur yerself codepen.io/argyleink/pe...

The chopper episode of one piece is tragic as hell gd

this is actually super clever

we renamed our wip proposal Permission Spaces because they're "spaces" that you get "permission" for

We had a bikeshed meeting and decided to rename our permissioned data proposal -- or more realistically, just pick an actual name. "Buckets" was always just a working term. We're going with "Permission Spaces," or "Spaces" for short

joy driven development

Introspection does exist, it’s just scattered across a lot of different keywords and the new Reflect API

Is it a conference talk or your tight five? Who’s to say

every day i refresh @dholms.at leaflet for more bucket talk, every day no buckets

We've been doing some backfills lately (not using Tap). We're using the most recent relay -- which has somewhere between 14-18M repos enumerated. Backfilling into a clickhouse, one records table and one backlinks table, has taken about 24 hours.
