The most significant extension to the protocol since launch—atproto spaces—is now officially alpha software you can start testing with. Here's more about the goals and how to start testing. atproto.com/blog/atproto...

The Atproto Spaces Alpha is Live
Atproto Spaces, formerly known as “the permissioned data protocol,” is a new extension to atproto that enables non-public data. The alpha is now officially open. Here’s how to develop with it and what to expect as we work towards the full release.

Recently finished Upward Bound, whose author is the first nonspeaking autistic graduate of UCLA. A striking, intimate portrait of communities we rarely get to hear from firsthand. Woody brings to life characters who are lovable and misunderstood while reminding us where humanity really lives.

Tell you one thing for sure: the Atmosphere is growing
Monthly downloads metric for a package that's a common dependency among all atproto packages (which makes it the best indicator for the js ecosystem since we recently reworked our sdks)

"We think we can pull off the best of both worlds. When you build a community or private space on AT Proto, it’s absolutely 100% owned by you. It’s not owned by Bluesky or by any company. It’s just like everything else on a protocol. It’s owned by the users, not by the platform."

honored by this kind shout out to @anisota.net from @kinjal.bsky.social of @blockchaincapital.com 🖤
One of my personal favorites, Anisota, created a gamified social interface where each post becomes a collectible trading card with rarity ratings and stamina limits to discourage compulsive scrolling. It makes social feel like play. It's built on AT Protocol, which means it inherits the network rather than having to recruit it.
Tangled is another example, building a social coding platform where coding is a social, owned experience rather than a solitary professional one.
