the open ecosystem for atproto makes it super easy for one developer to build a compelling and feature rich application in their free time that cannot possibly be maintained by one developer in their free time

some thoughts on atproto as a post-app paradigm

one thing I really like about atproto is that it provides the infrastructure needed to make open source user apps that actually fucking sync data across devices sorry but the average random hobbyist is absolutely not going to run a user account server for their homebrew todo list app

Some more ideas about how I think to build an atproto app for artists from the needs I see in my community, and how I envision to grow this into a longer term project. I am curious about your feedback and who is interested to participate.

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

Hey, I opened a proposal to create a working group for games on atproto! I'm want to make the work that I and others have already done more useful for applications across the ATmosphere. If you're interested in co-chairing, helping out, or just participating, let me know! #atproto #gamedev

individual atproto uis are already remixing data from different apps. so the concept of an "app" blends — each product is a prism over the shared ecosystem. and if nothing except authorship is firmly gluing different pieces, could an application be glued together from different authors' pieces?

Every lexicon, every "app" on ATProto is a "yes and" waiting for your contribution to the vision. We're all first party developers.

I am interested in surfacing people and organizations who are available for paid consulting around atproto. Ideally the community can help vouch for folks as interest grows.
