Anyway, this is mostly for my friends, but I kinda love the model of “broadcast on atproto, but transfer data privately off protocol”

So @iroh.computer is kinda magic. This turned out to be a huge project, and I'm still reducing the overall complexity, squashing bugs, and cleaning things up, but uh, the endpoint discovery works pretty seamlessly and I can view and download items from another users library in a pretty simple manner

What is atproto?
What is atproto? atproto is two things: A protocol for creating open social networks An open social network atproto, the open social network Today the atproto network has 36+ million users and powers Bluesky and a handful of other apps. Almost all atproto data is public. Content like posts, likes, follows, and photos/videos are publicly accessible to any network participant in a permissionless way. As an example of how open the network is, here’s how easy it is to stream all public data on the network using a public atproto Relay like bsky.network:

The AT Protocol | Bluesky
The AT Protocol (Authenticated Transfer Protocol, or atproto) is a standard for public conversation and an open-source framework for building social apps.

I am very excited about AT Protocol
AT Protocol (atproto) is the right mix of useful, practical, personal, and fun. I think it could save the internet.

Rashid Aziz: Extending ATproto for private data - ATProto Community

The Atproto Spaces Alpha is Live - AT Protocol
Atproto Spaces, formerly known as “the permissioned data protocol,” is a new extension to atproto that enables non-public data. The alpha is now officially open. Here’s how to develop with it and what to expect as we work towards the full release.

Payments on Protocol - Nick's Blog
atprotofans.com was a proof of concept for payments on ATProtocol built at Graze Social. This post is about what we built, why proof of payment on protocol matters, and what it makes possible.

Check out the project at https://library.groundmist.xyzCross-posted to https://baincapitalcrypto.com/atproto-for-local-first-distribution/ What if private data could be published effortlessly, without friction, fragmentation, or UI restrictions? I've been experimenting recently with connecting loc...
NEW BLOG! After closely following atproto permissioned data, my take: what if an "atproto repository" is the base thing and there's more than one way to sync it? Based on @ipv.sx's take and grounded in a real-world Streamplace use case: how do I make a video private, then public?
