Surprise!!! We’re still here! Aviary is NOT going away. @ngerakines.me has generously allowed @chaosgreml.in to take over running the service. A bunch of cool changes and improvements will be coming shortly, but feel free to continue to use Aviary without worrying about it going anywhere!!

DMs are open. Haven’t set anything else up beyond that.

Short-term? Unlikely. They have an API but I haven’t used it. If someone has experience with Namecheap and Rust, and was interested in writing that feature, I’d pay them for it.

Attention #Medsky! The invalid handles issue for our new community handle has been fixed, thanks to the 3rd part service @aviary.domains and @ngerakines.me. I'm going to be releasing this out to people in increments. Please send a DM if you'd like an invite link. Public release date TBD.

Are you a Cloudflare user and new to Bluesky? We wrote a step-by-step guide to manually creating a DNS record through the Cloudflare dashboard so you can update your handle. Want to save some time though? Just use Aviary to do it! aviary.domains/help/docs/ho...

Yep, full OAuth support. When you log in, either from an invitation link or just by checking out the site, you're authenticating against *your* PDS. Doing so also allows the app to seamlessly change your handle when you accept an invitation to use a domain.

#HelloBluesky Aviary is a tool that lets you share domains with other people on #bluesky. See it in action at dads.lol and atproto.rocks. aviary.domains

It looks great on you!

Yeah, the two different methods have their own pros and cons. The only downside to the HTTP method is that it's a (very) small amount of overhead because a DNS lookup will occur before the HTTP request can be made.

A small quality-of-life update went out tonight (0.3.3 if that's your jam). The notable update is the introduction of the domain prefix field in advanced invitation options. This allows an invitation to include a subdomain when adding handles.

Aviary @aviary.domains · 25/10/2024

Yeah, a lot of people. There are even some domains open to the public like atproto.rocks and dads.lol.

I’m super stoked about the #IndieWeb possibilities with #AtProto. I’m thinking - Host my own PDS for blog posts - Pull in micro-blog type things from here - My identity is my domain This is making me excited for the web again!

Yeah, we wrote a guide for doing it yourself with Cloudflare. aviary.domains has a handful of integrations for people who have their domain managed with services like DNSimple, Cloudflare, AWS, etc but also don't want to individually manage atproto record updates too. aviary.domains/help/docs/ho...

Yeah, it really is a great feature and something we love at ATProtocol! We wrote a guide for doing-it-yourself with Cloudflare that goes through the step-by-step process. aviary.domains/help/docs/ho...

You should check out aviary.domains. It can make the whole process of sharing domains through invitations, a lot easier.

There's a discord for PDS admin. The out-of-the-box installer defaults to containers using docker.

You don't need to run your own PDS to have a domain as a handle. ATProtocol supports special TXT record values that can be set through apps like aviary.domains or your DNS provider. They “point” to your account DID (distributed identifier).

Yeah, that shouldn't break anything. Just keep in mind that the PLC service and most PDS instances only support one official "also known as" value. aviary.domains/checkup?subj...

If you're also interested in opening up that domain to people, you can use aviary.domains to create invites for people to create handles like "@thedude.bpd.zone" on it.

Share domains with friends, family, communities, and organizations to use with ATProtocol.

We can help with that! With aviary.domains, you can invite people to create handles for a domain. For example, dads.lol is open to the public, so anyone who uses that invite can claim a handle like "@nick.dads.lol".

Yeah, the main and best use case involves verified authenticity. By using your domain as your handle, it proves to people that you and your website are linked and people have confidence that the content you post is actually yours. You can't be faked as easily.

.lfg would be a *great* TLD.

Aviary @aviary.domains · 20/10/2024

That's right! It's a lot easier than people realize too. I think that we're the only app that takes the friction out of the process, and we also have some guides on how to do it yourself.

000

Do you need to run your own PDS or infrastructure to have a custom ATProtocol handle like @aviary.domains? No! All you need is a domain and a few minutes.

Aviary @aviary.domains · 20/10/2024

You can use domains and subdomains for your handle, just like ours is @aviary.domains! We wrote a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to Doing It Yourself with Cloudflare. Although we think Aviary is much easier, you should know it is an option. aviary.domains/help/docs/ho...
