Hey guys, I think it’s time for me to share my project here. I’ve been working on this idea since last year, had a very cold launch in January, and have reached a point of stability where I’m confident the app is ready for the mainstream. Open Market is an aggregator (think of Google Shopping) aiming to help people promote their products, art, or anything they plan to sell. This includes used goods and pretty much anything else. The app creates a personal storefront for every AT Protocol user....

Market applications on the long-tail of user needs
In 2026, @bsky.app is focused on what’s next for open social: bringing together users for conversations around live events, creator and platform monetization, and private state, giving users truly private data while preserving ownership and portability at the protocol level.
storefront and products are a natural fit and would change the dynamics of ecomm infra hosting for the better! transaction details would be private, permissioned data (or spec-aligned to start) and transaction events would be cryptogtaphically verifiable from both sides github.com/bluesky-social/proposals/blob…
This is a very straight forward atproto-business play btw 1. bring (the feature-complete) UnInbox into the atmosphere: put a PDS on it & accept open-social login 2. promptly charge indie teams like mine flat rates (no seats) of $100/yr and up for managed service. Outcompete missiveapp.com/pricing

Note to @mk.gg and @cloudflare-dev.bsky.social DevRel folks: There’s a feature-complete team-mail client called UnInbox that’s no longer in business, but the dev is trying to bring the (self-)hosting costs close to zero, which is the sort of thing Cloudflare excels at 👀 github.com/un/inbox
The AT Proto app that I have been working on over the last ~12 days is nearing a first beta. Introducing @gifthood.community: A neighborly way to give and receive, freely, built on the AT Protocol. We will start in Portland neighborhoods soon. Let's find out if this concept works on the open web.
gifthood.community — coming soon
gifthood.communityApp stores could be replaced by having apps published to a PDS, with safety provided using content moderation tooling, search indexed from the firehose, etc. thoufh. We strike aggregators everywhere that they stand.

Software industry is probably going to look a lot like the music industry or games industry. Lots of talent, lots of supply, bottleneck shifts to distribution. Aggregators win again?
