A discussion I had with @pfrazee.com @bnewbold.net and @dholms.at at the conference that I wanted to dig as a community is a TLD for atproto handles. Lots of challenges, but I think I'm looking forward to a world where I'm @goto (syntactic sugar for goto.handle) on the web rather than @sgo.to

[Proposal] WG for group/community standards and infrastructure in ATProto
Interested in contributing — specifically to Phase 1 (shared ontology and community archetypes). I’m a cognitive linguist and university researcher. My work on the AT Protocol side includes Mezzanine, an information networking system using opaque cashtag connectors as a routing layer, and two Leaflet pieces on community infrastructure as a gradient — from permissionless tag-based commons to credentialed spaces. The reason I’m flagging my disciplinary background: Phase 1 is where this WG will e...
Why Don't We Just Do This Together? - AT Protocol
Jim sits down with members of the core team building and governing Standard.site, the shared Lexicon for publishing longform writing on atproto. Brooke from pckt.blog, Jared from Leaflet, and Miguel from Offprint cover the design tradeoffs in creating a new shared format, tales of data migrations, strategies for shared governance, and why you shouldn't buy a premium domain name.
[Proposal] WG for group/community standards and infrastructure in ATProto
TLDR: I’m proposing a working group to develop shared interoperable standards for community infrastructure within ATProto. Many teams are independently making foundational design decisions about group/community membership, governance, and infrastructure. Without coordination, a de facto standard will calcify from momentum rather than deliberate evaluation of the ranges of community needs. I provide initial questions and principles to start discussion. Many people, apps and projects in developme...
Decentralisation and blogging on atproto - Connected Places
The space for blogging and long-form writing on atproto is rapidly developing, and it gives some interesting insight in what decentralisation on atproto looks like

Welcome to the new atproto.com - AT Protocol
We've updated just about everything about atproto.com to make it easier for developers to just build things.
[Proposal] WG for Games
TLDR: I’m proposing a working group to take ownership of the work I and others have been doing to support games on atproto. There have been lots of efforts to support games on atproto already. @rpg.actor is building an ecosystem where data can be shared across games @byjp.me created a mod for Slay the Spire II that puts your runs on protocol @orta.io added Atmospheric login to @puzzmo.com games and stores some data on protocol @lemmaeof.gay is building rhythm game score tracking on Tsuganite ...
Yep. This is what is missing in the ATProto vision. The lexicons should've been a like schema.org instead of domain name-based. Everyone who wants to improve it can discuss it, similar to, well, schema.org. The frontend must be separate from the content. It's beneficial in many ways.

we have standard.site but wen standard.pics? rn I’m juggling between @grain.social, @flashes.blue & @sprk.so for image sharing 😭
I would definitely like to see an Atproto Foundation which: - oversees the com.atproto lexicon - maintains the website as a community effort in a separate github org - owns the trademarks - sets a "community covenant" for events/groups wishing to use that in your name

We wanted independent stewardship of the open-source project. So we founded the Magento Association. (Disclaimer: I'm a founding board member of this Magento association)
atproto'd my website a bit further (beyond the @standard.site integration): 1) added a "Right now" box on the homage that pulls in all kinds of atproto activity like @bsky.app posts, @popfeed.social film ratings, @bookhive.buzz reads, @tangled.org repo's etc.
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
In some ways, atproto, bluesky, @semble.so, @sill.social, @standard.site and so on are building new indexes for the web. I really hope atproto succeeds and goes fully mainstream. Think of the amazing search engines that can be built on such rich index data. Maybe web3 can actually happen.
my hot take is that @semble.so is on par with traditional search engines for atproto related topics (and it's only curated by people!)

Starting to get conspiratorial about how hard it is to Google atproto stuff. Why does "list of public atproto relays" not take me directly to pulsar.feeds.blue? For that matter, why does "pulsar.feeds.blue" not show up on Google whatsoever? There's no robots.txt, it's not that
Conversation here is very helpful framing for ATProto builders. The protocol has re-created the opportunity to restore the web as an open curation ecosystem that isn't controlled by any one platform, built not just on links between pages, but on the relationships between people, links and sources.
Building Through Every Wave: Mike Mcue on the Internet, Mobile, & AI Eras
www.youtube.comThe reason I've become such a @standard.site stan is because it's forming into the first real multi-service parallel ecosystem on atproto that can survive on it's own without the need of the @bsky.app lexicons and infra
