Seriously mild take: ATProto web clients should serve a <link rel="alternate"> containing an at:// URI I've just opened a PR to do this on Frontpage and atproto-browser. I'd for other clients to follow along with the convention! github.com/likeandscribe/frontpage/pull/…

Thinking about rebuilding @val.town / @smallweb.run on top of atproto, with an architecture inspired by @tangled.org. Every user can bring it's own runner, but the there is a federated appview for social stuffs (likes, follow, ect...).

Is there interest in an ATProto service that given any URL, returns a unified backlink summary across the ecosystem? E.g., bookmarks on @semble.so , mentions on Bluesky or @standard.site , annotations in @margin.at, etc.

@tynanpurdy.com asked for this feature and I like it: every atproto app should support AT-URIs as top level routes, @pds.ls-style. Makes it super easy to integrate. So this would be an argument for e.g.: `https://bsky.app/at://did:plc:rbvrr34edl5ddpuwcubjiost/app.bsky.feed.post/3micfxauzu22c`

Conversation here is very helpful framing for ATProto builders. The protocol has re-created the opportunity to restore the web as an open curation ecosystem that isn't controlled by any one platform, built not just on links between pages, but on the relationships between people, links and sources.

Actually I don't think #atproto is about decentralization. It's more about indexing over distributed data. @bsky.app and @tangled.org are actually a centralized service just like general web search engines are. But just like search engines, we don't own your content and this is the important part. 🧵
