EBike / EScooter modular DIY OpenSource electronics and software
Over the years I did own a few different EBikes / EScooters from different brands, and I always found limitations on all of them, mainly on the software.

"atProtocol" was previously trademarked by another company. bluesky pbc now owns it, but it should probably be handed off ASAP. but details TBD. IMHO if the power could be removed from any party (eg, via clever licensing) that would be better than using it as leverage even by a "good" org

Bluesky Hackathon in Tokyo Vol.1 (2026/04/18 11:45〜)
428lab.connpass.comThere are some questions about this service, especially since it seems to be from Bluesky (the company): -> github.com/bluesky-social/account-info Is this supposed to be a generic atproto service?
