There's lots I haven't yet understood about atproto, but I simply won't do the standard.site thing whilst it offers a worse UX than… not doing it.

some thoughts on atproto as a post-app paradigm

The future of atproto lies in bespoke AppViews: highly tailored features that seamlessly integrate with and elevate existing network-wide behaviors. Due to that, I am incredibly energized by the strategic innovations emerging from SkyBeMoreBlue and BlueSky Radio.

adding social features to our websites will accelerate atproto adoption faster than building pure atproto apps

ATProto is a post-app protocol trapped in a world of apps. I can feel it all around the edges of the network.

Tried to explain a bit of the use case of @varsityapex.com and why it made sense to integrate ATproto features. A full fledged site would make even more use, for the demo just opted to make records of non-score items. Tour: varsityapex.com/tour Was fun to explore the problem space a bit

I made an atproto dashboard to see what's going on on the network in realtime. Runs entirely in your browser. Take a look. What would you like to see? atproto.nrempel.com

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

@danabra.mov do you think it makes sense to frame atproto as providing a data and identity layer to the web, or as aiming to improve the web? I never want to overstep (see crypto claiming web3) but atproto is extremely web-brained like you said, and the web is where a lot of the utility shines

I think there is a vision/future of a more read/write web that could work like this. one way to think about it would be an "atmosphere native browser" which has broad auth to your atproto account (eg, PDS) and can mediate actions from a website/applet

Found a conventional use for atproto (replacing high school state associations/athletic conference/school sports websites) the other day and built a spec because I couldn't help myself. it's live but I'll share a blog post about it before sharing
