From ZK-first to AT Protocol — our path to DDS | Agora Citizen Network
We've been building Agora — a platform for public deliberation using Polis-style clustering — for a while now. Along the way, we've written about what we think about Nostr, AT Protocol, Polis, Community Notes, and protocol interoperability. Those posts are somewhat outdated now. This one describes w...

Representing groups in ATProto
I wanted to add book clubs to my GoodReads-like app (Collective), but ATProto doesn't have a standard way to handle shared group resources yet. So I'm building opensocial.community—a separate service that manages groups independently from any single app. This means the same book club could potentially work across multiple apps (imagine your book club having both a reading list in Collective AND a discussion forum in another app), and groups can migrate between providers if needed. It's probably over-engineered for my use case, but might help other ATProto developers building community features.

About - Ringspace Trusted Webrings: Protocol Specification
Ringspace is an attempt to revive the old concept of webrings, but with an added twist: mutual verification of identity and reputation. Historically, webrings were simply a “doubly-linked list” of sites, in which each member provided links to the previous and next members in the ring. A simple concept, brilliantly effective in its time to organize the web into discrete, discoverable communities in a time before search engines.
