I've been wanting to give @roomy.space a try, so I made a space on there! A casual space for software dev, but I'm sure it will drift to atproto stuff as well (is called Proto Callers). If you've been wanting to check roomy out, this might be a good place to! roomy.space/did:plc:syiz...

Help fund our lil indie operation! Larger legacy communities on Discord can now pay $30/month to unlock live bridging at scale for the purpose of either safe-keeping or incrementally transitioning their community to Roomy and the atmosphere. should we add a $5/month good-vibes-only supporter plan?

I just finished another arbiter progress report! The arbiter is our experimental server for hosting groups and communities on ATProto. This update is more of a rambling set of notes on a potential direction, but it was informative enough that I decided to publish it as our latest update. 😃

Got this working today. The UI is not completely hooked up, but last week we quietly migrated all Roomy spaces to their own, legit ATProto accounts! Today I started getting things integrated so that any of the space's admins can manage the account from inside Roomy.

Phew! I just finished a big migration of the @roomy.space data to our refactored AppView! The new refactor stores the Roomy messages directly in the AppView instead of on our separate Leaf server, which was made for our pre-ATProto architecture. The goal is to improve simplicity and reliability.

At @roomy.space we've been cooking up the design for the next, ATProto-native iteration of Roomy, and that includes private data on protocol! The first component that we're working on is a group membership service that we're calling the "arbiter". Here's full overview of the design so far!

The Arbiter - Group Management for Permissioned Spaces and Beyond

The permissioned data proposal has the concept of membership, but leaves it to the app to orchestrate it. The arbiter is our idea for a general-purpose, interoperable ATProto group membership service.

So the issue here was that a Safari bug is truncating, i.e. just chopping the end off, of websocket messages over a certain size in @roomy.space. This makes the messages fail to parse and crashes the websocket. This isn't even in JS, this is in the browser itself.
