Atproto Ethos - AT Protocol
A deep dive into the philosophical and aesthetic principles underlying the design of AT Protocol.
atproto.com
This is an article that I've wanted to write for over a year, and I finally got the chance to do it!
Atproto Ethos is a deep dive into how we think about protocol design - its influences, the core innovations, and the opinionated takes that we've adopted

atprotoans using tap, important update here!
if you build from source from indigo:
git pull && git checkout tap-v0.1.4
go build -o tap ./cmd/tap
if you run with docker:
docker pull ghcr.io/bluesky-social/indigo/tap:latest
(ensure to replace container!)
if you build from source from indigo:
git pull && git checkout tap-v0.1.4
go build -o tap ./cmd/tap
if you run with docker:
docker pull ghcr.io/bluesky-social/indigo/tap:latest
just published a fix for a bug in Tap that was causing over-fetching of repos when filtering based on collection
if you're using Tap, strongly encourage upgrading (to v0.1.4)!

From what I saw it was doing it every rev change on a small test of just watching my repo. Was finding the matching call in PDS logs and inside of tap. Writing up a bit more details on that GitHub thread as well.

I second this. If you are running a tap instance if you could please update to this. If you have heard me talking about @selfhosted.social's high CPU usage, it was this.
There was a bug where when a tap instance subscribed to a repo and the repo changed in any way, tap would download the whole repo

Another perk of running your own appview, PDS and relay: When Bluesky goes down for others, it doesn't go down for you.

This is the most succinct version of a post I've been trying to write for two months. When I stop for just a sec to think about the possibilities of The Atmospheric web, I'm a little overwhelmed by how exciting it is. Come build it with us!

How to invent MST from first principles:
1. Start with a content-addressed data store i.e. a k/v store where values are immutable data and keys are hashes of the values.
2. Build a mutable k/v store on top of that.
3. Make it have nice sync properties (CRDT w/ structural {unicity, sharing})

As I keep saying, the speed with which AT Protocol tooling allows people to move is impressive.
Thanks to Tap, I have a live, full database of all @standard.site publications and documents in... 250 lines and a couple hours, not having ever written code for AT.
The rest is just serving an Atom feed from a local database.
Kind of incredible! (But now sleep.)
