I want to create an incubator that funds atproto/bluesky experimental projects to the tune of $5k-$10k dev grants.
I am sorely tempted to call it “Chemtrails”, because it seeds the ATmosphere

@pfrazee.com the most common concern I see (and share) with atproto currently is the centralization of plc.directory. The best solution (currently) for technical people is to host their own PDS with did:web. Are you aware of any businesses offering paid PDS + did:web instances?

ok, let's break it down.
at the core of atproto is the data. it lives own your own computer (or someone hosts it for you). think of it as a hard drive with JSON files on it
data is structured (i.e. has a type), and can references other records on other peoples' computer with a URI like a hyperlink

atproto aha moments:
- you can host your data
- it's just json
- it's typed but any app dev can invent those types
- records have URIs
- records are signed so cacheable without trust
- relay aggregates everyone’s events into a global stream
- backends subscribe to relay and update local DBs

atproto's open, global identity system is ready for app devs!
i am _super_ proud of our work on oauth for atproto 👏 required loads of rigor met with pragmatism.
and atproto identity can be used on its own! apps can piggyback atproto for an open, permissionless identity system w/ global user ids 👀

We got a blog post out summarizing our launch of OAuth for AT Protocol, and what work remains. This has been a huge project led by @matthieu.bsky.team with input from a bunch of standards folks and devs.
Big milestone for building all sorts of clients, apps, and integrations on atproto.
