Atproto spaces alpha updates
Hey folks, we just launched the atproto spaces alpha. Check out the blog post for more details! Over the following weeks, we’ll be iterating on the specification and the implementation. In all likelihood, this will involve breaking changes to the PDS distribution, the Bluesky-hosted alpha PDS, and the alpha SDKs. To minimize disruption, we’ll plan to do releases on Thursdays (barring something critical that requires more immediate attention). When we do a release, We’ll make a post to this thr...
So I'm going to miss @atproto.nyc community day but I've been playing with a new testing tool that I'd love you all to check-out tangled.org/chris.pardy.family/vivarium Vivarium is an Atmosphere in a box. Literally PDS+Relay+PLC+Microcosm+Auto complete all in one executable. Still very experimental.

The Atproto Spaces Alpha is Live
atproto.comThe week-end is over so I'm pressing ⏸️ on my custom PDS project for now. Here's part 2 of my dev journal. I've learned a lot already and so far I feel like it might actually be worth finishing. It's really cool to get a more intimate understanding of ATProtocol and it's implementation.
