This nails it. For the Fediverse to grow, software needs to support delivery to user defined collections, and they need to have a cohesive identity concept: a dozen random OAuth systems which are mostly not interoperable ain't it.
I've been thinking about media platforms in the #Fediverse geared around artists. I think the network is in dire need of having support for commerce.
Not "Big Capitalism" commerce, but the ability for people to buy/sell things, support projects, and commission people to keep making stuff.

The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization
Sure, we have open source, federated replacements for Instagram, Tiktok, and YouTube. How do we get creators to use this stuff? One consideration involves the ability to pay for things.

Finally got to write up some of the things I've been working on this year. This was a fun open source collaboration and I'm looking forward to where it goes.

AI will not dramatically change things. People who are already programming will have slightly enhanced capabilities. They can do more things in their limited working hours. That's all. It will increase velocity in certain areas.

Working on a tool to index every lexicon on the @atproto.com network.
Currently, there are a total of 561 valid lexicons (that conform to the specification) and 31 invalid lexicons.

And just like that, a new platform is almost done.
Using Bluesky as a backend is *really* under-appreciated, imo. It feels like you are getting away with something. Like how can all these resources be usable by anyone? I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, for them to lock it down more.

My "Introduction to #ATProto" blog post that I've been working on for some time is ready 🙂 It goes through things like records, lexicons, DIDs, then PDS/AppView etc. and how it all works together. Let me know if anything is wrong!
More parts later, with the Fedi comparisons & misconceptions etc.

Sync as a new db paradigm is so amazing to see, just getting my hands dirty with @convex.dev (Atproto is ofc a great example as well). I was a bit concerned about new/untested Cool Technology™ but the amazing theory/engineering, which I discovered through the great docs pushed me over the edge.

Hey y'all, we just released a new SDK for working with Lexicons in TypeScript! 🥳
It focuses on improving DX and some of the pain points of the current tooling (see my previous post below).
It's currently in beta and we'd love to get your feedback 🙇♂️

Stoked for this preview/beta release of a new typescript SDK. It's baked entirely around bringing your own lexicons, and includes a CLI for fetching them from the network and generating code. The DX is also so much better, and it includes tools like tree-shaking.
