I'm going to be launching something pretty big next week, which just happens to include a new atproto AppView, labeler, blob proxy, lexicons. It will have tens of thousands of users, most of whom won't even know they're using atproto, or have even heard of it.

Gonna start brain dumping more consistently about @openmusicevent.app (OME) to hopefully start garnering some #atprotodev ecosystem interest. Open Music Event is going to be in a public open beta by August 15th. It’s an #atproto app for concerts, music festivals and other similarly shaped events

Some initial atproto-related learnings from #Rebuild Helsinki 🇫🇮 * most people building apps here have no idea what atproto is, which is a shame since especially when building social apps, atproto is a great starting point for many reasons

difficult to imagine atproto apps building to significant revenue in a world where you can just clone any given app in an afternoon & still access the backing data

Odoo has this toggle of showing their apps / what apps you can build or replace. They list 40K+ "community apps" And yes, also open source github.com/odoo/odoo With private data, likely good opportunities for atproto, too.

This is a very straight forward atproto-business play btw 1. bring (the feature-complete) UnInbox into the atmosphere: put a PDS on it & accept open-social login 2. promptly charge indie teams like mine flat rates (no seats) of $100/yr and up for managed service. Outcompete missiveapp.com/pricing

while i've been loudly proclaiming in the atproto devs discord meetings that you probably don't need an appview for your atproto side project, i'm now also working on my own "atproto backend in a bottle" that runs on cloudflare workers 😅 still super WIP, but happy for any early feedback

Building @skysquare.app, I’ve thought a lot about what the future of the @atproto.com ecosystem might look like, and I’m increasingly excited by the possibilities. Skysquare is a useful demonstration of something that feels much bigger than the application itself—the portability of the ATProto post.
