Sometimes it about luck/timing I think 🤔 and providing value to people 🤷🏽‍♂️

My two cents.

But honestly most of the growth was just from others caring enough to repost my posts and mention us when long form niche issues are brought up.

Not terribly helpful but I hope this sheds some light into how I’ve been doing it. @nooki.me seemed to pop off when Jay from Bluesky posted about them.

But that’s dependent on others sharing those with their audience. I try to stay visible and reachable whenever someone mentions me or problems with services I am trying to solve/replace.

Collab with other atp apps in the same niche like @leaflet.pub and @pckt.blog when I get the chance to.

I am an atp dev, but I’m not the greatest at marketing. Despite wanting to build social apps/services I’m really bad at social media.

With offprint I’ve been releasing sneak peeks of features and that’s gotten me about 10 invite requests per week since I started doing it consistently.

Another package for you all integrating AT Protocol into your Laravel applications.

Resolver handles resolving DIDs, handles and PDS endpoints for you. Just provide an `actor` and it'll figure it out for you.

legit won’t read your stuff if it’s on substack, try any of these instead: @leaflet.pub @pipup.social @pckt.blog @offprint.app

The kombucha meme where a woman initially looks like she hates it, but then looks curious, but I've flipped the order, so she looks like she hates it, after looking curious.

The first cell (curious) is captioned "I've written a new article"

The second cell (hates it) is captioned "Read it on my Substack"

Spent some time designing a new brand identity for @pckt.blog with @brookie.bsky.social this last week or so. Was really fun helping refine pckt's existing brand beginnings into a full identity they can grow into!

Hope you all love it as much as we do!
