I also see a lot of leaflet.pub! Tangled is interesting too, I think VCS has a great opportunity to evolve.
Hopefully they are products that excel in their category to really lift the use of AT Protocol. The pitch can’t just be “product A but with your AT protocol handle!”

For it to take off there definitely needs to be other services that approach Bluesky’s scale on the same protocol.
Multiple services, owned by different entities on the same protocol would be a great “rising tide lifts all boats” situation.

My cat found a mouse last night but was completely useless in actually holding onto it once she caught it.
We lost the mouse 🐁. Hope he’s having a good time somewhere in my walls!

Wow, this is really cool. Well done. Was there a particular kind of assembly or architecture you were mimicking?
