Research Project for ATProto Ecosystem Brand and User Experience Needs
Hello atproto builders — I’m a long time lurker and first time forum poster. I met some of you at Atmosphere conf in March, but for the most part have been thinking and talking about how I might get involved and support what’s happening here, rather than diving in. It’s been deeply heartening over the last couple years to see this community emerge and all the work so many of you have put in to make Atmosphere conf and all the other great atproto meetups and conferences—and community contribution...
s there a newer version of this list of "atproto ideas up for grabs" ? trying to brainstorm for the @atproto.nyc hackathon but i know a lot of people have been hacking on things since december :) (cc @erlend.sh @tynanpurdy.com) discourse.atmosphere.community/t/project-ideas-up-for-grabs/…
Project ideas up for grabs
discourse.atmosphere.communityHey atproto builders, what if we got together to talk about the funding environment and how we sustainably grow our products and orgs? If you're interested in a meeting, add your info here! (context cont'd ⬇️)

Devs in the atproto community! I will be organizing some meetups in the near future and will be reaching out Also- don’t hesitate to reach out if you want to discuss the state and future of the ecosystem, what we’re doing with attie, or anything else. I can’t just … open my DMs but we’ll find a way
ooh nice my talk got posted! this is a 30 min whirlwind introduction to atproto through a technical lens, basically building up the stack from DIDs -> repos -> PDSes -> relays -> lexicons -> OAuth -> applications
FediForum
Have you ever wondered how #ATProto actually works? This presentation by Daniel Holmgren from #FediForum should answer your questions in 30 minutes. spectra.video/w/mDnE8FbYh1PXiaCPxsniGQ /cc @dholms.at
I wonder if having some kind of "atproto Foundation" would help with fundraising for the broader atmosphere? Currently there is no easy way to invest in the atmosphere so would-be funders default to bsky cc @ecosystemaction.com
Erin Kissane
Knight Foundation's kind of an exception here, tbh, and has a specific interest that's different from the VCs—and also a specific connection into the protocol. I'd love to see them send money to a slew of atmosphere projects and I wouldn't be super surprised if they did.
reminder that the inaugural ATP (atproto) working group meeting will be taking place soon! we are scheduled for the Thursday of #IETF126. you can register and participate remotely. if you have a topic you want to discuss, reply to the chairs on the mailing list; this is roughly final call
