Its very approachable to someone with a surface level understanding of the topic. Might be the intro article to atproto I’ll share with friends in the future. Kudos! 👍

I keep forgetting if we use tags here. #startups #softwareengineering

A bit of over two months in a product focused software startup has done wonders to revitalize my interest in working in tech.

I’m considering picking up writing about engineering but what sort of topics are people reading outside the LLM hype?

Finnish is ”A hand Plane for Everything” or jokapaikanhöylä

I forgot to post about this but I scratched together some in-browser character sheets for #dungeonworld.

These work pretty decently for a low effort one-off sessions.

The #atproto #developers feed is suddenly full of videos of people applying for @skylight.social beta. 😅 I don’t hate it, but I’m wondering if there are more developer related feeds I should subscribe to?

I think the time is ripe for a social network where users have to authenticate to prove they’re human. A system based on identity brings accountability and makes it harder for hostile actors to influence. The EU seems like the best location to kick off something like this but can we deliver?

Is this open source by chance and do you need help? 👀

This is really cool, thanks!

Cheers. Seems like a good resource!

Cheers for this but what I’m thinking for is more in line of actual services making use of the protocol. Lexicons are rather records than applications.

For real. I miss some features from Facebook in the form of groups and events that I’d love to be able to build here. Audiences would be a huge addition but don’t know how viable they are in concept.

One thing I’d like to see one day is a viable competitor to event organization for Facebook (back in the day). Getting people together for events leaves my whatsapp snd telegram riddled with small groups and Fb used to work well for this.

On #atproto would need for private audiences.

I’m hoping we’ll see something like this sooner rather than later.

After recent shows of billionare spine, this is a good take.

What kind of apps currently exist on atproto? Is there a curatef list or a showroom somewhere? What are you building? #atdev #atproto

08.01.2025 17:00 — 👍 3    🔁 0    💬 4    📌 0

That’s my understanding as well.

I think its somewhat restricting credible application development on the protocol. There are massive benefits to having control over data-access.

You could use atproto as a database that references data elsewhere but that violates the concept a bit. #atdev

Follow up if everything is discoverable, doesn’t it somewhat devalue PDS if your data is open for scraping?

#atproto #developers question: If I develop an application based on the protocol, is there a way for me to prevent the data from being discoverable or is everything fundamentally discoverable by anyone?

I’m wondering the plausibility of only publishing content to a users followers/following.

Thanks! I’ll have a look. I considered using @whtwnd.com as an option, but wanted to use this as an opportunity to learn some more about the protocol as well so building my own shitty copy seems tempting.

Is an extension possible, or should I create bluesky posts separately and refer to them from my own data models if I want to keep a reference. 🤔

Probably need to force a little switch in thinking here. I’d like to build data-types that extend the formats used by Bluesky. Create a post on #atproto that’s visible on bluesky and show some extra info on another platform? #developers

I feel like I’m probably asking a dumb question here but I figured I might as well. 😅

I’m experimenting with using #atproto as the backend for my technology blog at dvergmal.dev is it a realistic dream to also do long form markdown texts on atproto? I guess I’d need to setup a PDS and some custom schema + repository for this as well as a database or does the pds also provide the db?

I think this was the one feature I was missing that kept me from using zed as my main editor. Kudos!
