Atproto spaces alpha updates
Okay as promised, we just cut another spaces alpha releast today! This includes the credential & sync changes that I listed above plus a small API field rename in listSpaces and simplespace.createSpace. There are several breaking changes, and I expect this to be a more disruptive rollout than the last one. The rollout will update the hosted psaces alpha PDS, the Docker image at ghcr.io/bluesky-social/atproto:pds-spaces-alpha and the relevant npm packages. For folks running their own PDS, this r...

Atproto spaces alpha updates
Hey folks, we just launched the atproto spaces alpha. Check out the blog post for more details! Over the following weeks, we’ll be iterating on the specification and the implementation. In all likelihood, this will involve breaking changes to the PDS distribution, the Bluesky-hosted alpha PDS, and the alpha SDKs. To minimize disruption, we’ll plan to do releases on Thursdays (barring something critical that requires more immediate attention). When we do a release, We’ll make a post to this thr...

Developer Experience Goals for Atproto Spaces - AT Protocol
A new series nailing down the moving parts of building on Spaces

hey so, @roomy.space is now generally available for real-world use! 🥳 make atmospheric group spaces for friends & community, chat in real-time, progressively structure emergent topics into evergreen threads and cultivate enduring knowledge.
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.

I've just finished the first, barely-working prototype of our new arbiter server! It's not ready for use just yet, but we're going to start experimenting with it in @roomy.space as a way to make every space a fully-fledged ATProto account that can be seamlessly managed by the Roomy space's admins.
Arbiter Progress Report 3
zicklag.leaflet.pubAtproto Spaces (buckets, we hardly knew ye) have moved from a proposal to real live working — AND VERY MUCH ALPHA DO NOT USE THIS IN PRODUCTION — code. We even set up a working PDS for y'all to use, head over to bsky.network/account to get going

atproto.comI've had my (mostly) offline weekend before #AtmosphereConf and now have a stack of things to read, write, and grind on. First up is giving chipnick.com/stratos-lets-get-technical/ a read and writing some thoughts on spaces.

Roomy is generally available
blog.roomy.spacewith a bit of perspective, I wanted to write this post which reintroduces spaces as a new primitive for atproto! spaces are a deeply social & "atmospheric" primitive & I kinda think they uniquely thread the needle on our design goals
