I have a whole folder of ATProto apps on iOS (plus a select few directly on my Home Screen).
Today we call them “ATproto” apps.
In the future … they’re just a better way to build a wide range of apps, where users own their data, login in anywhere, and choose different interfaces.

In discussion with some speakers we are looking to recruit for #ATmosphereConf, I said we have lots of really great tech talks, but also "how do we shine a path on the road ahead and equip community & builders with some approaches and mindsets"

I did not know the Semble logo was a cairn.
Now I want a pet rock mascot. With googly eyes.
(I should make sure we have googly eyes at the conference)
Also a very good post by @wesleyfinck.org on naming in interfaces and products.

The 2026 #ATmosphereConf is aiming to be about 2x this year.
If we hit 350-500, then year after 2027 will be roughly double and we need to start planning a year ahead to secure venues.
And! Start planning your 2026 regional confs too!
We’re growing and need to plan for it!
