And just like that, a new platform is almost done.
Using Bluesky as a backend is *really* under-appreciated, imo. It feels like you are getting away with something. Like how can all these resources be usable by anyone? I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, for them to lock it down more.

Between @graze.social and @vibes.diy I feel oddly empowered to build stupid things on the Internet again. And that’s a really good feeling.
Used to be a Portland thing called “turkey tracker” where they hooked a Thanksgiving turkey thermometer up to the Internet so you could follow along with the cooking process. That’s long gone. But I threw together an homage using @graze.social. Still needs fine tuning but… bsky.app/profile/did:...

The core of the Atmosphere is using the PDS to store user's records, just like desktop apps use the filesystem.
Desktop apps interoperate using files. Atmosphere apps interoperate using repo records.
That's the ethos that I highly doubt will ever change.

my positive vision for atproto is for people to have a greater degree of self-determination on the public social web.
baseline experience should be decent, but motivated folks should be able to organize and get more control over their online spaces and experience in line with their norms+values.
