As someone who uses my phone more than maybe advisable, I end up typing in jauntwk.bsky.socialmuch more than I want to to log into neat atproto apps. Every now and then the browser can auto-complete for me, but it feels too rare! This post is a plea for help from the atproto ecosystem, to please try to make this better. It comes down to what name the input element has: that’s what the browser usually uses for autocomplete. I would love to have a convention/standard for what name to use for the <...

Browser extension for personal naming on Bluesky. Your namespace, your mental model.
Pronouns for Bluesky – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox Android (en-GB)
Download Pronouns for Bluesky for Firefox. The AT Protocol supports a pronouns field for profiles. This extension surfaces it on bsky.app — no sign-in required to view, sign in with an app password to set your own.
Petname Tool: Enabling web site recognition using the existing SSL infrastructure
The existing WWW infrastructure already provides for authentication of web sites. Unfortunately, the advent of phishing has shown that the mainstream user interface to web site authentication is not meaningful to users. This paper proposes a new browser user interface widget, the petname tool, that integrates meaningful authentication information into the browsing workflow.
NameThat — the visual dictionary of UI
See the UI element, learn its real name and API symbol, and copy a precise prompt for your coding agent.
Finalizing our new Shortcuts system. In this example we're using @atmo.garden, a new integration. Not every AT Protocol service uses identifiers like c/, so users can now create their own shortcuts. For example, @semble.so could be s/, sem/, or even /👀. This allows fast and quick results 👀
I’ve just released @passport, a new tool designed to make logging into the atproto a breeze! Say goodbye to the hassle of typing out long handle names every single time. Once you register your handle, you can complete your login with just one tap through integrated apps or browser extensions.(1/4)
What if a browser could navigate #ATProto DIDs and 🦋 Bluesky handles? Made a little prototype of Aura, a browser that can navigate between standard websites (🌐), Bluesky handles (@), and permanent DIDs, resolving them all in the same address bar.
Plea to #ATproto developers & companies: Pleasepleaseplease make it easier for the rest of us to help boost your apps & tools by creating good, clear documentation geared toward non-techie users? (not just fellow developers or internal team).🤞🏽 See my post on @leaflet.pub.
Why good non-techie user documentation is vital for a wider embrace of the ATmosphere
debbieohi.leaflet.pubplyr.fm now uses typeahead.waow.tech instead of bsky public api for handle auto-complete at login and "add account"

If you're an #atprotodev I'd love your thoughts on this short proposal. I think we'd all benefit from a way to tag our HTML to reference the at:// uris they're derived from! @popfeed.social, @bookhive.buzz, @sifa.id, @leaflet.pub, @pckt.blog, @offprint.app and many more — penny for your thoughts?
Atproto markup for HTML
byjp.leaflet.pub"Applications may, optionally, parse and display IDN handles as Unicode." This really needs to be amended, as this is really bad advice for protocol documentation in 2026. It should strongly encourage full support for the worlds languages just like a web browser. atproto.com/specs/handle
Handle - AT Protocol
atproto.comHey #atprotodev; should we make a convention for annotating HTML elements with the AT uris they’re built with? (So that, say, a browser extension could offer links to @pds.ls) Something like this? <li typeof="schema:Thing" resource="at://did:web:example.com/org.example.lexicon/rkey">
