Many osf.io features could be built on #atproto: your project repos would be hosted on your PDS (eg your bluesky acct). Institutions could host PDSs, distributing costs. Every record would have a unique id (analogous to a doi). Multiple apps could access the records in multiple ways @atproto.science
Brian Nosek
Over the next several months, we will phase out some popular OSF features. These changes do not affect current public content, which remains safe and accessible. We have prepared support material to help users adapt. I am very sorry for the disruption to your work. Please read this post for details.

ATProto Apps with their own records as of 2025-11-20 - grouped by some general types - Hilary's Leaflet
This is not a comprehensive list but it is pretty thorough. There are at least 10 more I need to dig into and probably add here later today maybe. This does NOT include PDSs, Appviews, and clients. The goal was for it to be a list of apps that have their own records in the PDS.

How do we talk about atproto to non-developers?
The beauty of AT Protocol is that all of your data from different apps is available on your PDS, your own folder on the internet containing your stuff as JSON. This means that you can switch which app you use to view that data, without losing anything. It also makes it very easy to make connections between data stored using different lexicons, or just display activity in one place. Sifa does a nice job of this on your profile page. For web developers, and people who understand webhosting, the concept is reasonably easy to understand. I know that any atproto app I join is going to store data in my PDS, any other people will be able to see it.

Connecting records, web pages and apps
This is a bit of a follow-up to Mapping web pages to canonical AT records We’re continuing to work on making the Bluesky app more Atmospheric, building on features like the Germ, Streamplace, and Standard Site integrations. This leads to some common questions that have cropped up before, like: what’s the best way to link an atproto record and a web page, and how does it know which app someone is using? This is relevant to a few proposals and other conversations and I want to try to tie them tog...
Introducing Tap: Repository Synchronization Made Simple | Bluesky
Just about every app built on AT needs data from a repository at some point. For many use cases – feed generators, labelers, bots – streaming live data through a Relay or Jetstream works well. But some applications need to go beyond what Jetstream was designed for, like tracking specific subsets of a repo, automatically backfilling a database when adding new repos to monitor, or even mirroring the entire Atmosphere.
third-party apis: community infrastructure on atproto - Keith's Thoughts
you can just build things from an open set of tools
Exploring the idea of self-hosting a Bluesky PDS alongside my Indiekit instance — turning it into a dual-protocol server that federates over both ActivityPub and AT Protocol simultaneously. Inspired by Wafrn’s approach, adapted to Indiekit’s plugin architecture and Cloudron deployment. The goal: ow…

rmendes.netWho else is using @roost.tools’ Osprey for moderation on ATProto? Would there be interest in some sort of shared repo for UDFs and Plugins?
I recently got super into the ATProto spec and how different services use PDS to store the data, I put together a quick client-only website that presents all those records in a single, consolidated feed of all my activity: at.diego.codes
at.diego.codes — Diego Vicente
at.diego.codesAre there any atproto apps that use records from competitors? This ecosystem won't feel open to me until @bsky.app uses something from outside the `app.bsky` namespace as part of its core experience
AT Protocol apps
Apps and services on ATProto (aside from Bluesky). See “AT Protocol” collection for links related to the protocol itself, as well as “Bluesky” for Bluesky clients etc.
ATProto, Activitypub and FOSS applications
Two protocols, and an acronym. Directories, servers, services and tools that support one or more of these namesakes' or these namestakes' ideals [decentralized, federated etc]. Plus a few wikis for further reading.
