By choosing to build on atproto, innovators have the advantage of starting with all the following pre-built:
- structured datastore
- distribution + moderation infra
- large existing user base
- trivial social integration
... allowing immediate focus on what's unique to their app or community

Innovation here is exploding because of how bad other spaces have become: locking down reach with algos that don’t like links, or gating reach through platform payments.
On ATProto you can start with a custom data Lexicon and front end app… and that’s it!
Logins & user owned data included.

I am on Steam.
I do not own a dedicated gaming PC.
I prefer a console and controller interface.
I do not care for portability.
I want a Steam Machine.
(but fair point!)

Who is Valve's "Steam Machine" FOR?
I get the USP of the "Steam Deck" (mobile gaming) but the "Steam Machine"? Steam's user-base are PC gamers. They already have a (probably quite expensive) box in their house that they play on. Why would they want another?

I might PR some improvements to @tophhie.social's pds-dash fork since it's Svelte/TS later.

Valve can definitely subsidise the Steam Machine and Frame. We’re in good hands here.
It honestly feels like Valve has inherited the crown discarded by Nintendo now that the Nintendo we once knew and loved is dead.
Innovation, simplicity and affordability.

shout out constellation from @microcosm.blue !! made this basically trivial to build
Small update: new combined quotes / mentions panel
Previously just showed quotes of the Leaflet post; now *also* shows all Bluesky mentions, including the one linked on initial publish if it exists
Eventually we can expand this to include mentions in other Leaflet posts…and other atproto apps!

Still, glad there’s the option for it.
