I made meme-museum.at to explore making a complete (if simple) atproto app. Build a collection of meme images and post htem. I don't know if anyone needs it, but, as I tried to lay out in the post, I'll be happy if it helps demonstrate why I'm so excited about the potential of atproto.

Every lexicon, every "app" on ATProto is a "yes and" waiting for your contribution to the vision. We're all first party developers.

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.

can the atproto company stop killing atproto please. 5.7M views is insane.

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...

ATProto is a post-app protocol trapped in a world of apps. I can feel it all around the edges of the network.
