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.

there’s only like 10 atmosphere apps that consistently have more than 50 active users on a typical day (based on lexicon activity)

My hope is that 'Atmospheric Login' will eventually generalize into what we all think of as a universal 'Web Login'.

we are starting to see the fan out of atmospheric apps and all of them are calling your account a different thing imo the identity of your account - whatever it ends up being called - needs to get settled very soon Internet account, Atmosphere account, whatever… just SOMETHING

Signing into the Atmosphere is a bit of a lottery. This is a user problem. But it's also a builder problem. The Atmosphere needs a brand identify, a design system, tools for builders to drive broad dev and user adoption. wecanjustdothings.leaflet.pub/3mlv5oijn5s2q #ATmosphere 🌀 #ATproto 🪿

til that any atmosphere app could unceremoniously nuke all of your pds data (across all apps) if it wanted to! i guess this is a reminder to be careful w your logins!!

calling all the "sign in with Atmosphere" freaks, check out @anisota.net's new login experience and tell me what you think — this isn't a flow or pattern i'd recommend for every app, but it is an example of an opinionated one for just this app! video attached, or try it for yourself: anisota.net

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...

This is why I keep showing up everywhere in the Atmosphere. I am not rebuilding myself on every new app, just opening another window into the same network. My identity and connections are already there.
