I have a whole folder of ATProto apps on iOS (plus a select few directly on my Home Screen).
Today we call them “ATproto” apps.
In the future … they’re just a better way to build a wide range of apps, where users own their data, login in anywhere, and choose different interfaces.

Hey, I just launched an app called Antler. The app showcases how we can rebuilt WeChat Mini Apps, but using open web standards.

And all of those App Stores could be using an app Lexicon, and get curated for unique needs, with social signals and ownership details.
Creating a universal app store for PWAs seems like an obvious win here vs. heuristics triggered installs. But think about smaller, more bespoke app stores! An app store for your intranet apps. An app store for your webring of online mutuals. An app store for kid-friendly apps. That's fun territory.
On the Edge team, we think web apps should be easier to install.
The default browser install button is great, but we'd like something which you can use on your own site, how and when you want it.
That's why we're proposing the Web Install API, which you can now test!

In the small country of Norway (5.5M) there are 300,000 people registered on Bluesky as of last year.
Yet I have no way of seeing what’s going on with these 300k people because I work internationally and have my app set to English.

We’re still figuring out what a multi-polar, not single foundation looks like for ATProto and would like to continue that conversation and get @igalia.com involved.
