@blueskydirectory.com Thanks for the service!

How does one edit a listing? I run a project in the coming soon section, but it's been open for awhile, and the listing could use an update in general.

I wrote up a doc about what I'm thinking for opensocial.community and representing groups in #ATProto in case anyone has any thoughts or feedback on it!

Representing groups in ATProto
I wanted to add book clubs to my GoodReads-like app (Collective), but ATProto doesn't have a standard way to handle shared group resources yet. So I'm building opensocial.community—a separate service ...

I'm making a quick register/login flow when you just want to RSVP for an event.

Which looks better? What else would you change?
November 3, 2025 at 6:55 PM
I made an activity feed kind of thing so you can tell what's going on with groups and events. Come try it out at platform.openmeet.net

Who is working on e2ee data in ATproto now? I've got a user wanting private events, but also have them published to bsky.

Is it possible yet, or where can I find progress?

Been under a rock for a bit. 👋 Pushed a big update to platform.openmeet.net

* share media and files
* e2e encryption for private rooms (experimental)
* connect 3rd party Matrix chat apps to chat live and on the go
* better moderation

Let me know what you think, and bugs as you hit them, Thanks!

New update just shipped with better mobile experience, maps, improved multi-day event display in the calendar, and more.

If you're organizing a protest, this gives you a way to share dates, locations, and details by QR code or URL.

Exciting news! We’ve just launched new calendaring integrations on platform.OpenMeet.net. You can now export events from your OpenMeet calendar or group calendar, and seamlessly connect external calendars like Google, Apple, and other iCal sources to display them directly in your OpenMeet calendar.

I missed recognizing that platform.openmeet.net surpassed 100 users, so here's a late "Yippee!" About 25% of those are Bluesky users. Thanks, you all!

If you have a group that is paying for meetup.com, consider trying OpenMeet.
