related: for a number of use cases on atproto, the challenge has shifted from 'how do i get people to use my app' to 'how do i get people to use my lexicon' this also shifts what prototype apps even are

in my experience there is now room to “vibecode” a prototype, evolve it into a more serious app, and then down the road refactor it into something that is more professional, organized, and sustainable previous AI models couldn’t handle large refactors like this, but they now can with human aide

atproto made simple: publishing lexicons - underreacted
i find some atproto documentation extremely confusing. the section about publishing lexicons is one of those parts that makes me want to tear my hair out. it…
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
This is partly why I think atproto needs a more convincing vision about being a post-app protocol. A future where atproto is a bunch of apps and each app governs their own lexicon diminishes a lot of its potential in the long-term.

yeah i think i might actually, theres a very interesting story here that the main thing that matters is a focal point around which consensus over a lexicon can get formed
some thoughts on atproto as a post-app paradigm

has anyone thought about the multi repo feed yet or are we still in the era of "this is a <app.bsky.*> viewer" and "this is a <site.standard.*> viewer"
