Master the Search Bar and the Internet will unfold before you like a gorgeous rose.

I owned "tangled.org" since 1998, and had been looking for the right thing to do with it ever since. Glad to have found it a good home!

absolutely stoked to be doing this - lots of good protocol governance stuff coming over the next few months

text from friend, idk how to answer this

atproto account future = google account today one account, login for all apps, store all your data in one place, control what apps can do with your identity this is the dream

oh yeah big plans on a friday

atproto fixes this

Excited to share some new stuff I've been I've been working on. It's an appview for building appviews called Slices. A slice reads your lexicons, indexes your records from the Jetstream, does backfill and provides a typescript client to interact with your lexicon .listRecords, .searchRecords, etc

I finally sat down and wrote more about what @anisota.net actually is and what I hope to see happen with it... published on @leaflet.pub, readable on @anisota.net: https://anisota.net/profile/dame.is/document/3lxankooyf22l

"Then, as quickly as I had grown to enjoy anisota, I ran out of stamina. The buttons no longer worked, the site became dead and inert. 'What a strange thing for a website to do,' I thought. But I put my phone away and went to do something else." 🕯️🖤

oh yeah this is super rad another example of bluesky getting remixed into something totally new

JavaScript Object Notation Application Programming Interface

Quick update on Auth Scopes! Covering the granular permissions roll out for end users and client app devs. Permission Sets and formal specifications are still being worked on. We recommend devs start exploring and experimenting, but hold off on shipping major production app updates for now.

wow keik.org is like if you were forcefed 250 ug of acid & tossed head first into the gutters of the digital panopticon dystopia but it's also one of the most interesting experiments i've seen on atproto

I spent 10 minutes explaining Bluesky to a gen-z producer, and at the end, he goes...so like Minecraft for social?

200+ users and 180GB of data migrated to the Blacksky server in ~48hrs and that’s with individually distributed invite codes via my DMs.

oh time, strength, cash, and patience!

logging back on after a very offline 4 months

okay now that atproto ethos is out, i have another update: i'm taking a short sabbatical for the next few months starting today. i have some stuff in my personal life that needs attention and the team has been very gracious and supportive of me taking some time

This is an article that I've wanted to write for over a year, and I finally got the chance to do it! Atproto Ethos is a deep dive into how we think about protocol design - its influences, the core innovations, and the opinionated takes that we've adopted

also I’m so stoked that skylight doesn’t have to send users to the bluesky app to create an account shouts to @matthieu.bsky.team & @esb.lol for getting the oauth account creation flow in last week 🙇‍♂️ give it a go if you haven’t yet!

friendly reminder that building on atproto gives you immediate access to >30 million users, an existing social graph, and a huge network of open data & content it's increasingly becoming a no-brainer to build new social apps on atproto congrats to the skylight team on the launch 🙌

this is so sick

I think that's called a "train"

A world without Caesars: How the atproto community is rebuilding the web to return power to the people techcrunch.com/2025/...

oh cool! my talk in case you missed it and are interested in checking out it I talk about “atproto ethos” which is essentially the philosophical & aesthetic principles underlying the design of the protocol

#AtmosphereConf was unreal. Thanks so much to everyone that came out & the organizers for putting on such a well run conference So honored to see that people are picking up what we’re putting down. Super inspired to talk with all the devs that are building right now

Hey devs, this is an exciting one! Just put up an early proposal for OAuth scopes in the atproto network. Eager to hear thoughts github.com/bluesky-soci...

keep mistyping "auth scope" as "auth cope" freud etc etc

why do they call it firehose consumer when you fire in the cold commits fire out hot byte the MST nodes

My local firehose consumer has a hose fire of the whole firehose, and its under 300gb, and while fired up doesn't even hose that much cpu. Fire even hoser to run if you fire post hose aggregations. Firing about implehosing the FireView hosepoints backed by this for a firehose impl

Firehose my local a consumer has the sync of full network even whole, under and its 300gb, caught while and doesn't use that cpu much gets. Cheaper run even to if disable you post aggregations count thinking. Implementing about endpoints the AppView this backed by for impl a lightweight

slack being down is the WFH snow day

cheap relays cheap relays cheap relays

great explainer from @divy.zone on the new sync semantics we're rolling out backwards-compatible fully-authenticated sync that should allow for more robust cheap relays in the network!

🛠️ atproto devs! 🛠️ got a new proposal out about Sync 1.1, aka inductive firehose, aka cheap validating relays. it is a long, low-level doc. doesn't directly impact folks unless they emit a firehose (eg, PDS and other repo hosts), or are doing full validation as a consumer

books should be <200 pgs or >800 pgs. idk what to do with a 500 page book

I talked to the @fafo.fm folks about what it's like scaling from 100k -> 30M users in ~18 months. It was pretty fun :) There's a bit of Jaz lore in there as well as some Bsky lore like the "magic growth prediction spreadsheet" that has somehow stood the test of time and helped us plan for scale.
