We're actively looking to grow our team at @ersc.io again! If you are interested or know someone who might be, I'd love to chat.

We are looking for distributed storage folk as well as frontend/UX.

Hey friends, did you know you could hire me to consult on AT Protocol projects?

Whether that's advising on OAuth, or doing complete implementations, I can probably help you project. I primarily work in JavaScript/TypeScript.

You can contact me via support.thisismissem.social

I know Emelia has also been doing independent code reviews of other atproto apps and reaching out privately. I can't thank her enough for reaching out, helping me and the rest of the communities. She has several support links as well to show appreciation for her hard work.
So a not too well known thing about me: I'm the co-author of the Client ID Metadata Documents internet draft that Bluesky / AT Proto uses for OAuth.

This document came about due to my work on Mastodon's OAuth implementation.
