Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 21/04/2026Custom feeds feel like the perfect medium for feed-native media companies like MTS 130
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 10/04/2026WOW, this is unbelievably cool! @awarm.space will these mentions/embeds live on protocol (i.e. when I mention a semble collection on a given leaflet, there is a strong connection between that semble collection and that leaflet post that lives on protocol)? 250
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 09/04/2026Outside of @leaflet.pub, are there any other apps that allow for natively referencing app.bsky.feed.post at-uris? See below for example from @willdot.net's recent post on distributed PDSs (willdot.leaflet.pub/3miiirzf7jc2j) @semble.so? @offprint.app? @margin.at? @pckt.blog? 470
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 07/04/2026@scanash.com did you know that the initial idea for Google was to build a "decentralized annotation system for websites." Sounds a lot like @margin.at. It's still so early! Source: www.acquired.fm/episodes/goo... 160
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 06/04/2026Really cool to see @tangled.org natively embedded in @leaflet.pub. Excited to see more experimentation here. willdot.leaflet.pub/3miiirzf7jc2jwilldot.leaflet.pubThe journey to a distributed PDS - Wills thoughts 0182

Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 24/03/2026Custom feeds are the singular theory of action for growing the open social web and reorienting distribution and monetization in the attention economy.

Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 05/03/2026In theory, anything can be published as a loose document under the standard.site.document lexicon - a twitter post, a youtube video, an amazon review. Excited to see further explore extending standard.site beyond long-form content, even though that's not what it was meant for :) 150
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 26/02/2026Business models in the atmosphere?!?! Let's talk about how atproto and standard.site can move social media away from enshittifying, attention-based business models towards intent-based business models that better align revenues with openness and interoperability. jshaked.leaflet.pub/3mfrgv2aezc2gjshaked.leaflet.pubFrom Attention to Intention - The Open GardenExploring business models for atproto and the open social web 0293
Reposted by Josh ShakedEli Mallon @iame.li · 19/01/2026atproto is so funny. Leading protocol explorer in the previous ecosystem I worked in: Etherscan, a 70-person company with ~$35,000,000 in yearly revenue Leading protocol explorer in the ecosystem I work in now: @pdsls.dev by @juli.ee, it's great 41219
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 17/08/2025This! There is a clear conflict of interest running an app view and a PDS. In the future, I expect PDS hosts to run independent of major app views 010
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 11/08/2025This feels pretty good for @tangled.sh www.theverge.com/news/757461/...theverge.comGitHub just got less independent at Microsoft after CEO resignationGitHub will be part of Microsoft’s AI engineering team 230
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 08/08/2025As atproto apps increasingly choose to verticalize PDS hosting, we need to be weary of user identity/data fragmentation across apps (ironically one of the key problems that atproto/bluesky was designed to solve) 030
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 08/08/2025Interesting to see another atproto app vertically integrate PDS 160
Reposted by Josh Shakedzeu @zeu.dev · 07/08/2025bsky should really emphasize the best part of atproto: the PDS. investors should fund startups selling PDSs, both as a cloud service and a physical self host device. make it clear to users that the biggest benefit of atproto isn’t “one account for all platforms”, it’s “choice in sharing data online” 46213
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 25/07/2025Idea: build a PDS hosting service that enables creators and publishers to monetize their data 020

Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 04/02/2025One step closer to building a general-purpose atproto client 031
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 23/01/2025One of the most powerful features of crypto/blockchain systems is the separation of user data from application presentation. I can take my identity and token balances with me across apps. Atproto will do the same for the web, taking us from enshittification --> cryptification. 010
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 19/12/2024at:// links will be critical in making it easier to traverse the open social web. Well done @ngerakines.me for demonstrating this to the world 020
Josh Shaked @jshaked.com · 26/11/2024With atproto, we can go from monetizing the screen real estate users see (i.e. clients) to monetizing data itself. I believe this subtle difference will lead to a more open and innovative web where data exists and is useful independent of the client it was created in. 010
