We've been hard at work on a new website with new guides, better docs, more translations, even our very own blog. We think it looks pretty sharp, too. It's now easier than ever to just build things with AT Protocol.

Still trying to work out some kinks in the dashboard, but I'll have a big HappyView release pretty soon. 😀

Louisville resident here! Our local government recently made it so Churchill Downs (a billion dollar business) will never have to pay taxes for 30 years. This is while Jefferson County Public Schools is making hundreds of millions of dollars in budget cuts www.wave3.com/2025/12/05/c...
Churchill Downs granted 30-year tax break
Churchill Downs will not have to pay any property taxes for the next 30 years after Louisville Metro Council members approved an extension of the exemption that started back in 2005.

I wish my PDS had a put-record-intent endpoint. I just want to have an endpoint that I can link or submit a form body to that presented a big "Do you want to write this record?" question block that a user could click "OK" or "Nah" to with the highlighted JSON record in question.
