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...
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.

Lexicon Embeds Overview
ATProto’s inside out structure provides an opportunity for open, permissionless building on top of any component in the network, including its extensible data schema definition system, Lexicons. One of the opportunities this presents is users sharing their data and records with multiple apps. Those apps may be direct substitutions (different clients for microblogging say), or apps that use that data in a variety of ways, such as Popfeed an app which aggregates posts about a variety of media ty...
Mapping web pages to canonical AT records
I’d like to use this thread to riff on a community practice of mapping web pages to their canonical AT record. This is something that standard.site already does as a way to verify publications and their documents using <link> tags. Unfortunately Rich Harris pointed out that this isn’t technically valid, so there is discussion for a breaking change for standard site to use the <meta> tag. Making this work with any lexicon/record has quite important ramifications for the entire ecosystem (I’m writ...

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.

Anyone remember the newsreader app, Paper? Started prototyping an atproto take on it using @standard.site records
Are 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
ATmospheric Apps
Things that use ATProto to create their own records (NOT Bluesky clients / Appviews)
What's the intended app/user etiquette for atproto apps with regards to publishing to the same lexicon? Like, say I build an atproto app, would it catch users by surprise if the wrote to the same records (e.g. posts, likes, etc?) that show up in the bsky.app? Or should my app be isolated?
