6/ And, there you go! You've supported did:web, and made the small minority of us extremely happy. 😊

7/ As an extra caveat, ATProto has the possibility to support extra DID methods in the future, so think about this when designing your identity resolving code. Do *not* assume 'did:plc' as the default (i.e. don't use that on an 'else' clause). Futureproof your stuff: your future-self will thank you.

Thanks for this thread!!! If I may add my DMs are open if you need someone to test your app. I mentioned this earlier today and it just so happened to line up with this post:

atproto devs who don't have someone test driving your app using a web DID, PLEASE reach out. In recent memory I've come across two proper sites that didn't function/crashed when attempting to log in with a web DID. Literally just a DM mentioning what your app does and a link to it would work.

This is a super helpful crash course, thank you for writing it! Devs should be aware that for apps specifically, it applies less to tools, that they do lose a layer of moderation and safety for did:web. The cost of decentralisation! Additional measures need to be put in place within the app
