I'm pretty sure UCANs are awesome. They're not the easiest thing to understand how to apply, and I need to see how they work out in practice, but I'm excited about the cool things that you can do with them. They've got some cool capabilities. 😉

This is partly why I think atproto needs a more convincing vision about being a post-app protocol. A future where atproto is a bunch of apps and each app governs their own lexicon diminishes a lot of its potential in the long-term.

yeah i think i might actually, theres a very interesting story here that the main thing that matters is a focal point around which consensus over a lexicon can get formed
Finally had a sec to write about the conversation component we added to the @atproto.com blog.
Bring Atmospheric conversations to any website
am.jimray.net#atproto is there anything we can do to solve the issues plaguing the lexicon specification right now I don't think it's good that the reference TS and Go SDK do not agree with each other on how lexicons should be interpreted
Ricardo J. Méndez
Hmm. That's generated with prototypey and goat lex lint didn't complain, but I'll look into it, thanks.

night-terrace.offprint.appHey #ATproto peeps, need your help! Doing an unconference session about ATproto at the Experimentation Elite conference today. Need some kind of short intro slide(s) about what we are.... any good examples you've seen I could re-use?
Oh, a way to share links and community blog posts. A great idea! We can share our homework 👀 discourse.atprotocol.community/t/moving-atprotocol-dev-off-o…
