Personal websites as an atproto onboarding strategy
ATProto, POSSE, and Personal Sites
My little weekend experiment to bring micro updates to my personal site
ATProto ideas
If AT Protocol becomes “a meaningful layer of the web” — even if it’s only tens of millions of users — then the winning ideas probably won’t only be futuristic...
Why I'm betting on ATProto (and why you should, too) — Brittany Ellich
Social media was supposed to connect us, but most of it has turned into ads, division, and loneliness. I'm betting on ATProto as a way to fix that, and not just for developers. Whether you're a scientist, journalist, or just someone who wants the internet to feel human again, I think ATProto matters for you too.
The promise of ATproto is social media without corporate overlords | The Web Dev Podcast Series 1
Developers building apps on ATproto, the technology behind social media apps like Bluesky and Leaflet, are promising us a future where we own our content and aren’t at the whims of a tiny handful of companies. Software engineer Zeu Capua talks to host Jason Lengstorf about the promise of social media where we can actually own our own data.
@danabra.mov do you think it makes sense to frame atproto as providing a data and identity layer to the web, or as aiming to improve the web? I never want to overstep (see crypto claiming web3) but atproto is extremely web-brained like you said, and the web is where a lot of the utility shines
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

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.
Tried to explain a bit of the use case of @varsityapex.com and why it made sense to integrate ATproto features. A full fledged site would make even more use, for the demo just opted to make records of non-score items. Tour: varsityapex.com/tour Was fun to explore the problem space a bit

Found a conventional use for atproto (replacing high school state associations/athletic conference/school sports websites) the other day and built a spec because I couldn't help myself. it's live but I'll share a blog post about it before sharing
An atproto browser makes this easier to pitch and explain in my experience. things like webtil.es could make atproto more legible to folks and provide a clear value difference. "Join a community -> stream/go live, etc" in 1 app @stream.place in Blacksky demo as an example

ATproto is a way to show ownership of thing you've made online. Do you post a lot? Cool. Here are all the posts you've made. Show them on Bluesky. Do you blog a lot? Cool. Here are all the blogs you've made. Show them on Leaflet. Do you stream a lot? Cool. Show them on Stream.Place
