Extensions & plugins that could build game experiences directly into the forum is something I remember fondly from my php forum days. RPGs, dice rolling, D&D character sheets, all of that could be installed by the admin (maybe not great) with a little bit off FTP'ing

Extensions that can inject into the forum & do lots of cool stuff (thanks WASM!) are in 0.5.0. There is a LOT here (github.com/keithk/atmoB...) but it should be pretty simple if you just download the example.

atmobb.app/host i think i'm ready for this! if you want a free forum and are building an atmosphere project (or, tbh, just want to make forums for you/your friends/your hobby/your cool side project/your anime obsession/anything you want to pull off discord and be able to link to) just fill this in

What other services should I add to the default / rotating sites here? #atproto

A screenshot showing the "Login in with your atmosphere account" card. It has Bluesky first and then pckt as the second "app on the network". There is a "what is an atmosphere account?" toggle

This log in card has Spark instead of pckt, because it rotates through all of the available options.

All of the built in options for this login flow

goodbye vanity metrics, hello: 💮 stamps! You can create stamps that unlock at various hooks, and also ones that are just given manually to board members.

Creating a stamp called 'atproto developer' that is awarded by hand. It is a blue square with white text.

And today is taking out post counts and other vanity metrics and replacing them with a stamp system 💮

Maybe something like "You've got a reply in a private thread", and a private routing URL with a hash so that it's not possible to glean anything from the URL redirect? 🤔

🧠 Thinking through private boards & notifications today. Going to take an attempt at incorporating atmo.pub, and wondering what the right level (if any) notification is for a reply made to you in a private (to the forum) board.

If you're interested, the data built up on atmobb is easy to explore in pdsls! The forum account carries all of the things like the forums themselves, moderation actions, logs, etc. pdsls.dev/at://did:plc...

Getting very, very close to having this ready on github! I have a few more features to finish up (I forgot to do polls 😭) and then it's ready to ship! Who wants to test creating their own forum on atmobb.app tho 👀

One example is the avatar generator that uses these beautiful SVGs from rhosgfx.itch.io - I've purchased them and can use them on *my forum*, but can't have them in the git download. So I'm spinning this out into a small plugin system 🤞

Part of the reason that I haven't got this up on GitHub yet is I had some fonts from the Pangram font pack (highly recommend: ) and wanted to get those out in a way that I could still make my own forum pretty, so pushed out forum styles and custom fonts.
