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.

Hey #GameDev and #ATProto! I'm working on tools to decentralize the ownership and management of video games by putting them (or at least their data... for now) on ATProto!
I'm looking for feedback, so if you have any interest I'd love to hear your thoughts. ♥️ 🎮 ♥️

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]
Gourmet Magazine
Gourmet is a worker-owned publication about food and the people who make and consume it.

I kicked off a thread in the forum to gather use cases for an @obsidian.md plugin that works with ATProto.
I am also very guilty of hand waving tech design, so please focus on what you want out of such a plugin!

This is very small data and I would probably just sync the entire repo (maybe even download SQLLite).
But I shouldn’t hand wave the tech!
It would be great to write down use cases & requirements as the primary thing to do.

Would crazy things might you try #atdev, if you could risk breaking things without polluting your actual account?
Next up for me is to make localhost oauth development seamless with this.

Git is great at telling you what changed.It’s getting worse at telling you why.When code is regenerable, version control has to move upstream to intent, plans, and provenance.
Throw in some content addressing, and we have ourselves a plan!
