For my first blog post, I've written some thoughts on open-source, StratosFund, and financial sustainability paths for Atproto. I hope it gets some interesting conversations started. #offprint the-better-future.offprint.app/a/3m…

Would you be interested? I'm considering doing a live stream on @stream.place place to discuss sustainable business model paths for projects on AtProto. I have some ideas, and I'm also very curious to hear what other people are thinking

What's a good checklist resource for all the latest things that should be done security wise before open-sourcing a repo?

Hey Trezy! I'm the main developer right now, but huge credit to @ngerakines.me as he's working some great things for handling the payment verification. The first step in the process of the app doesn't require any payment at all, and we'll use stripe later Oauth should be fixed! Have fun, thanks!

Now, imagine if Bluesky went down and never came back up again. But you log into Blacksky like nothing happened. You 🫵🏾 are used to your friendships and connections being lost because of a corporation’s actions. The collective AT Protocol project is to demonstrate otherwise. Tell a friend.

Interesting... how feasible would it be to run a Mastodon esk setup where you run one server with all the atproto components and the following feeds for just you your friends? Then maybe host your following feed as a custom feed so you can access it from anywhere on the network? 🤔

Everyone is debating over Attie and how Blue Sky didn’t talk about how it would hurt Graze in the announcement. Ok I get that, but what’s wild to me is how few of people are talking about @spacecowboy17.bsky.social and the for you feed

At #AtmosphereConf last week, this was a big unanswered question: “How can AtProto apps make money sustainably that retains the values of this great community?!? No VC, Grants, or Loans!” I definitely have a conversation starter, and maybe a solution. Stay tuned 👀📺

🚨 the ecosystem is delicate #atmosphereconf there's a LOT of enthusiasm + talent, but: - no magical investor monies - grant options are THIN - many first time founders - many don't want investment - few other options - scary macro env it's a collective challenge we can just pay for things?

Just curious, how exactly do you track users? Would this pick up a user that joins an atproto app like tangled through their PDS and never uses blue sky?

Incredible. Though, of course, due to current setup, any records are public on atproto, and feels like @aetheros.computer should be more upfront in alerting people about that so people don't store private info this way. But this with permissioned data could be really interesting.
Showing me creating a "test note" within the Textpad app within AetherOS saying "the inevitable test note."Showing that same note on PDSIs, revealing that the data is public.

Building in the atmosphere means you don't have to go it alone. We know organizers, and the groups-of-coordination they facilitate, require digital infrastructure for events planning. Ergo @roomy.space needs Events. @tompscanlan.bsky.social agreed and magicked @openmeet.net straight into Roomy.

This is an interesting approach, and I have one question. I’m wondering the likelihood that someone signs up on Open Meet and then later signs up on BlueSky. Could they merge accounts?
