Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 17/09/2026atproto inherently wants to be an unenclosable prosocial coordination medium, MOSAIC is an attempt to articulate how that could work. Very exciting and, more importantly, attainable (with the right support)! 0141

Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 11/09/2026folks, Semble doesn't have to be complicated! using it to organize and share links is pretty goated. 0100
Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 31/08/2026When is someone going to build a regular search engine that indexes webpages referenced in atproto records? Here's what that could look like: wesleyfinck.org/experiments/...wesleyfinck.orgatproto-aware concept search enginea mockup of a webpage search engine that only indexes webpages that are referenced in atproto records. Surfaces related links based on social and community context. 2302
Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 27/08/2026working with at-tags in semble is going to be very fun! - we can notify the record author of semble activity - aggregate by aturi instead of url - enhance the semble page to include richer metadata (e.g. follow author of record directly in semble) - and so much more :) 1251

Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 18/08/2026my fav part about onboarding in an atproto app is that any new user likely already knows existing users and we can very easily help them connect! One reason why open social graphs are amazing. 182
Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 06/08/2026This is really exciting to see! I think some magical things can happen when we "free" our links from static pages and let them intermingle in a social knowledge medium like Semble. 140

Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 29/07/2026literally this. As fun as it is to think about all the fun interop features we *could* build for y'all, we also need to make sure we spend our time wisely and solve problems for non-atproto people. 060

Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 17/07/2026Algorithmic feeds are like caffeine: addictive but great in moderation. But we also need less stimulating alternatives. Subscriptions in Semble gives us more options on the menu, so we can be more intentional with our choices and how we spend our time online. ☕️ 🛎️ 020

Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 14/07/2026I love wandering in a neighbourhood then finding a mini library. Semble is like the digital equivalent of that: take a link, leave a link. Let others discover your curated references. See what ppl are reading, etc. Now directly from Zotero! 170

Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 26/06/2026It's really exciting to think about the ways in which online communities can form and be discoverable when they exist on atproto, this is a great example of that already happening! 090
Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 26/06/2026friendly reminder to all the atproto product builders out there: make time for user research! 0191
Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 23/06/2026this is incredible! idea -> reality happens way to fast in this ecosystem would be cool to see this kind of behaviour in a browser extension so people could bring it to the browsers they already use? wdyt @chrisshank.com ? 040
Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 22/06/2026Social graph portability is a legitimate ecosystem moat! Only atproto apps can invite big bsky accts to a new social app while bringing their audience with them. It's a win-win: more exposure for atproto apps (referrals from big acct's) & more channels for connecting w/ an audience for creators. 1140
Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 19/06/2026This makes me think about how if a community that cares has the tools to organize, they organize. Magical to watch live 🌼 0101
Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 19/06/2026networked collective intelligence in action: - @chrisshank.com explores changing the link colour in a browser if saved to @semble.so - I expand it to atproto-wide social context - @nandi.uk asks about atproto browsers - @erlend.sh brings up beaver browser by @me.webbeef.org - prototype this wknd?? 2141
Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 18/06/2026Building on some of @chrisshank.com's work, what if we had browsers that were atproto-native? orange link = in your PDS green link = in the PDS of someone you follow Dreaming about the future of social hypertext ✨ 3636
Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 18/06/2026Here's why Semble is different: Semble is not a 'social network'. All the content, all the social connections made by people *is* the network. Semble *provides access* to this network, which is valuable. But the network itself can outgrow and outlive any single product. 0161

Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · 09/06/2026I don't think atproto devs should feel any pressure to do standardization work. Build things you love, that other ppl love. That's what matters. If it's on atproto, it's already a huge win. The protocol stuff will work itself out over time with enough demand/adoption (IMO 😊). 1240
