Yesterday's AMA with @dholms.at is now on Off Protocol atproto.com/off-protocol...

The hardest thing about the atproto permissioned data proposal is reading "space host" and not immediately adding "coast to coast"

mentally I’m in simplespace

as a little pre-show surprise, here's an early draft of the permissioned data proposal! github.com/bluesky-soci...

If you missed @dholms.at proposal at the end of last week, well here it is this week.

"but where are all the bluesky instances?" i've heard this so many times that i wrote an explainer

I decided to make use of some older hardware I had lying around to run some atproto infra. Meet wafflehouse.dev! - constellation.wafflehouse.dev, a @microcosm.blue constellation instance - slingshot.wafflehouse.dev, a microcosm slingshot instance - plc.wafflehouse.dev, a read only PLC mirror

Getting to chat with the folks building a better web is one of our favorite parts of the job, so we're going to do more of it (and on a regular schedule)

gonna get this permissioned data protocol proposal out at some point within the first 250 years of this nation's founding

new proposal up for a JSON based XRPC subscription! give it a read & let us know your thoughts github.com/bluesky-soci...

i like keeping a few lil @divy.zone up in my browser tabs while working. just good company to have. keeps the vibes comfy

can't believe i forgot to play this yesterday

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...

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

ayyy check it! alex & the app crew are working on the designs for this while i'm working on the permissioned data protocol & it all meets in the middle with ✨atmospheric communities✨ ideally operating on an ecosystem standard a la "standard.site for communities"

{ "$type": "site.standard.paulFacts", "description": "Facts about Paul", "isMyManager": false, "canTellMeWhatToDo": "no" }

what if we made boring auth even more boring-er? if you're following along on permissioned data, give this a read & let me know your thoughts: discourse.atprotocol.community/t/removing-t...

We know picking the right OAuth scopes can be confusing, so we built a tool to help with that. Grab the proper scopes and permission sets from apps across the ecosystem with our new Scope Builder.

We are!

auth: it's just a list! authorization tends to bring out Strong Opinions ™️ so we decided to try to keep it as simple as possible in the protocol & let the applications build higher-level abstractions give it a read & let me know your thoughts!

the best tokens of my generation are spent thinking about how to, etc, etc

video id is S-Xy 🧐

@dholms.at and I pushed up IETF draft text for atproto repos and sync: www.ietf.org/archive/id/d... www.ietf.org/archive/id/d... these are versioned in github (per norm) over here: github.com/ietf-wg-atp/...

imagine being here with a few of these listening to this

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!

hey you, wanna watch @dame.is, @pds.dad, @zeu.dev, @brittanyellich.com, @awarm.space, and @bryn.codes build atproto websites? the latest Web Dev Challenge sponsored by @bsky.app launches this week! goes live Thursday at 3pm Pacific, and you should absolutely join us for the premiere 💜

Something has gone terribly awry and @dholms.at and I will be running office hours today in 30 minutes. I'll post with the link when we start

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...

looking for feedback on the first pass of permissioned data protocol lexicons! hop in & let me know your thoughts! discourse.atprotocol.community/t/permission...

yeehaw

boy i gotta write another data diary now

okay after actually engaging with LtHash, it's kinda the bell curve meme for set hashes left: XOR-of-hashes middle: Elliptic Curve Multiset Hash right: XOR-of-hashes (mod 65536 instead of mod 2)

happy memorial day

you either die a devrel or live long enough to see yourself become a podcaster

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.

I can't believe there's a whole thread of people bikeshedding this and no one to point out that space is the next thing up after the atmosphere.

how do we feel about `space://`?

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

ooh nice my talk got posted! this is a 30 min whirlwind introduction to atproto through a technical lens, basically building up the stack from DIDs -> repos -> PDSes -> relays -> lexicons -> OAuth -> applications

AppViewerol spritz

actually apple, volume should be turned up

Happy birthday @inkandswitch.com! Ink & Switch is now 10 years old, and is celebrating with a piece of interactive digital art on www.inkandswitch.com – have a play with it :)

Daniel Holmgren, head of protocol at Bluesky, will give a talk at FediForum on Tuesday, April 28, titled: "Atproto: A Technical Introduction" Have you ever wondered how #ATProtocol actually works? Come join us to find out, online! https://fediforum.org /cc @dholms.at

& you lose if you say the word "protocol", "decentralized", "repo", or "pds" to illustrate: the cloud is "the thing where i keep my photos when i drop my phone in a lake". if you even mention a "server" while explaining the cloud then you lost the thread

It's an account for Atmosphere apps. It's not a "handle" for the whole "internet". It's not a "Bluesky" account, a lot of us don't host our account there, and hopefully less will over time. Atmosphere came from the community, we build as a community. Don't overcomplicate it. Atmosphere Account.

“atmosphere” is also a genuinely cool word and nerd projects pretty much never get actually cool words, lean in

had to share these bizarre shops that someone made of me & @samuel.fm (tho i can't quote the post) bsky.app/profile/luft... idk what to make of it. it's up there with the time someone wrote erotic fan fiction about me & @pfrazee.com
