I’m not sure I watched that one. Will have a look later today! Thanks for sharing

Yep! I was there. We crossed paths headed into the great hall
I'll have to think on that first question and get back to you. Once I get a decent amount of feedback for this initial version, I'm considering a blog post or explainer video to go into more depth
Hey Trezy! I'm the main developer right now, but huge credit to
@ngerakines.me as he's working some great things for handling the payment verification.
The first step in the process of the app doesn't require any payment at all, and we'll use stripe later
Oauth should be fixed! Have fun, thanks!
Personally, I hope it becomes a community project, but I'm the main developer right now, yes 😆

The fact it also includes alt text 😂
Random thought: How many relays would need to be running before the PDS's would start to be overwhelmed with socket connections?
Now, imagine if Bluesky went down and never came back up again.
But you log into Blacksky like nothing happened.
You 🫵🏾 are used to your friendships and connections being lost because of a corporation’s actions.
The collective AT Protocol project is to demonstrate otherwise.
Tell a friend.
Interesting... how feasible would it be to run a Mastodon esk setup where you run one server with all the atproto components and the following feeds for just you your friends? Then maybe host your following feed as a custom feed so you can access it from anywhere on the network? 🤔
YESSSSS!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What are the biggest unreleased features that the BlackSky community is most excited for from your perspective?
Interesting perspective. Can’t you give me an example of how you envision that working?
HTML in Canvas API is NUTS
Is there a place that has all the entries for VOD Jam in one place?
Everyone is debating over Attie and how Blue Sky didn’t talk about how it would hurt Graze in the announcement.
Ok I get that, but what’s wild to me is how few of people are talking about @spacecowboy17.bsky.social and the for you feed
At #AtmosphereConf last week, this was a big unanswered question:
“How can AtProto apps make money sustainably that retains the values of this great community?!? No VC, Grants, or Loans!”
I definitely have a conversation starter, and maybe a solution. Stay tuned 👀📺
Permissioned data is here, today, serving communities, creating space and agency. It just wasn’t done by the people you first think about. @blackskyweb.xyz and @transrights.northsky.social build against real, current need. #AtmosphereConf
Great talk @kandake.africa
So what @sebastian.eurosky.social couldn't show you all in the demo was the redesign I've just done on the @eurosky.social portal with all the apps listed:
🚨 the ecosystem is delicate #atmosphereconf
there's a LOT of enthusiasm + talent, but:
- no magical investor monies
- grant options are THIN
- many first time founders
- many don't want investment
- few other options
- scary macro env
it's a collective challenge
we can just pay for things?
Yet another “this technology could really change the world” moment. So excited to see how this progresses!
How much longer will you all be out there?
And a huge THANK YOU to @atproto.science for giving me the opportunity to be here and talk a little about how @viewsift.com plans to help apps like @semble.so & @margin.at on the path to build collective intelligence!

So excited to be in Vancouver for #AtmosphereConf! Looking forward to meeting all the great giants who’s shoulders I stand on 🤩🤩🤩
@bmann.ca @ngerakines.me @baileytownsend.dev @knowtheory.net @kandake.africa
@danabra.mov @rude1.blacksky.team
@tessa.germnetwork.com @flo-bit.dev and so many more!!!
Just curious, how exactly do you track users? Would this pick up a user that joins an atproto app like tangled through their PDS and never uses blue sky?
Incredible. Though, of course, due to current setup, any records are public on atproto, and feels like @aetheros.computer should be more upfront in alerting people about that so people don't store private info this way. But this with permissioned data could be really interesting.
