As promised, we just released another update to the spaces alpha today! This is a smaller release than last week. We have a few new features & protocol mechanisms (including account migration!). The meat of it is a refactor of simplespaces. This is backwards-incompatible and will require updating any of your apps that use simplespaces! Like last time, we’ve put together a prompt that you can give your coding agent to handle the migration. To summarize the changes: Space policies: we totally...

Atproto spaces alpha updates
Okay as promised, we just cut another spaces alpha releast today! This includes the credential & sync changes that I listed above plus a small API field rename in listSpaces and simplespace.createSpace. There are several breaking changes, and I expect this to be a more disruptive rollout than the last one. The rollout will update the hosted psaces alpha PDS, the Docker image at ghcr.io/bluesky-social/atproto:pds-spaces-alpha and the relevant npm packages. For folks running their own PDS, this r...

Atproto spaces alpha updates
Hey folks, we just launched the atproto spaces alpha. Check out the blog post for more details! Over the following weeks, we’ll be iterating on the specification and the implementation. In all likelihood, this will involve breaking changes to the PDS distribution, the Bluesky-hosted alpha PDS, and the alpha SDKs. To minimize disruption, we’ll plan to do releases on Thursdays (barring something critical that requires more immediate attention). When we do a release, We’ll make a post to this thr...

The Atproto Spaces Alpha is Live - AT Protocol
Atproto Spaces, formerly known as “the permissioned data protocol,” is a new extension to atproto that enables non-public data. The alpha is now officially open. Here’s how to develop with it and what to expect as we work towards the full release.

The #atproto AppView I've been working on needs to store more and more private data. However, I don't want to wait for Spaces to be ready. I'm gonna need to do some data migrations once Spaces land 😅
just wrapped up deploying a spaces alpha release! nothing too bad, but some applications that make use of simplespaces will likely break take a look at the breaking changes here: discourse.atmosphere.community/t/atproto-spaces-alpha-update…
Atproto spaces alpha updates
discourse.atmosphere.communityI've just finished the first, barely-working prototype of our new arbiter server! It's not ready for use just yet, but we're going to start experimenting with it in @roomy.space as a way to make every space a fully-fledged ATProto account that can be seamlessly managed by the Roomy space's admins.
