Basic.id does a good job of a clear and simple account management page for a personal data pod. ATproto, especially PDS devs and operators, could learn from this

I think the #ATdevs would be down for this. @knowtheory.net Atmosphere store?
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!
The Web Install API is ready for testing
We're happy to announce that the Web Install API is now ready for testing on your own site, as an origin trial in Microsoft E

Hey #ATdevs! I've got a proposal for some community tooling. would love to get thoughts and volunteers!

Proposal: Atomizer, a library of data converters and services
@erlend.sh reminded me of glue today, so let’s get this idea out there. Thanks to the good people in the EU, incumbent platforms are required to provide some kind of data export for their users. I wa...

Reich understands the problem. His call to action is limited to just “fund independent news media”. While a good cta, what if we got major politicians excited about the open social web? We are working on the same problems he raises. People like Robert could get us the buy in and support we need rn.

@popfeed.social I find myself wanting to 'log' a piece of media without saying that I just now consumed it, or just don't want to write a review, only log that i consumed it.

I've talked a lot about the need for Exit from big social platforms. The good news is Exit and interoperability exist today, if you know where to look! In this week's Platformocracy, I go on a whirlwind tour of technologies and projects that make this possible. Here are a few to know. 1/6
Exit and Interoperability Exist Today, If You Know Where To Look
Outside the big walled gardens, the open social web is making Exit and interoperability a reality. I review a few projects that I’m excited about, and where I think they could take us next.

For anybody that has tooling that creates Frontpage records I'd recommend to switch over to these now

Ok so @netnewswire.com is OSS right. Who wants to make it natively compatible with @leaflet.pub and even allow commenting on posts within the app?
