while i've been loudly proclaiming in the atproto devs discord meetings that you probably don't need an appview for your atproto side project, i'm now also working on my own "atproto backend in a bottle" that runs on cloudflare workers ๐ still super WIP, but happy for any early feedback

Introduction | HappyView
HappyView is the best way to build an AppView for the atproto. Upload your lexicon schemas and get a fully functional AppView, complete with XRPC endpoints, OAuth, real-time network sync, and historical backfill, without writing a single line of server code.

Fuck, I should probably add an announcement soon to askeverything.app that it is going to move to ATProto, huh? Gotta warn people that to stay on board the ship, they can't have private profiles anymore...
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
