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.

Christmas Day feeding frenzy of gulls and sea lions taking advantage of herring or anchovies. After many video clips over half an hour, I left the spectacle, wondering how many “bait balls” of these small fish were there to keep sea lions and gulls engaged for so long.

After reading this I gave exe.dev a shot and the combination of cheap VMs, the HTTPS proxy with passkey auth and link sharing, and the built-in LLM agent is... incredible.
Like, I know how to use each of these things individually, but combining them feels like when I first learned to script things.
