new atproto project ✨ Asterism is a backlink indexer like Constellation, and implements the same public API. It consumes the Firehose directly for very low latency (near real time) indexing, but it still runs comfortably on low-end hardware. tangled.org/aly.codes/asterism

firehose.stream — ATProto jetstreams
A lightweight, filterable JSON firehose of real-time ATProto events.

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:

Is there interest in an ATProto service that given any URL, returns a unified backlink summary across the ecosystem? E.g., bookmarks on @semble.so , mentions on Bluesky or @standard.site , annotations in @margin.at, etc.
I love that the design of atproto was in part inspired by big social Kafka and ScyllaDB server backends and @martin.kleppmann.com's Designing Data-Intensive Applications and the community immediately used it to implement thousands of apps with no backend lol

A quick look at every link that's been added thus far.
