Federation Test Post
This post by my Admin is meant to serve as a test to see if I'm properly federating out into the ATmosphere and into the Fediverse. If you can see this, please drop a like, comment, or heck even a subscription to let me know things are working properly. Thank you,Nora (Admin: snowebell.cc)

atproto + zotero + obsidian = madness or collaborative research?
Selling the open decentralized web
Aaron Powell wrote that while decentralization is insurance, that’s not enough to sell the majority on paying the cost it takes to switch away from the major platforms. I agree! I think we can do better.
How we make multilingual atproto records?
I would be happy to discuss how to best approach languages/translations within atproto records.
Migrating to the new Tangled knot2
Tangled is a Github alternative built on atproto. I've previously shown you how to set up the self-hosted repo server, here I go through migrating to knot2.

ATP & IndieWeb Criticism: "People don't care about owning their data."
I'm actually not sure this is true?
Making My Blog AT Protocol Ready: standard.site Records from a Cloudflare Build
A full walkthrough of putting a static blog into the atmosphere: claiming the domain as an AT Protocol handle, publishing each post as a signed standard.site record, serving the two verification endpoints from a Worker, and wiring the whole thing into the deploy so writing a post is the only step left.

Your Private Messages Should Belong to You - Now They Can
ATSMS brings end-to-end encrypted messaging and calls to the AT Protocol identity you already have.
Taking control of your atproto account
Setting a rotation key on your atproto (Bluesky, Eurosky, etc) account means you can recover it even if the account provider shuts down.
2,558 Is Not a Number of People
Bluesky says I have 2,558 followers. For two years I've treated that number as the verdict on my writing: that many people decided my posts were worth seeing, every day, and kept deciding. Next week I turn 21, and before the number ticks over I wanted to actually meet my audience.

Permissioned Data: Space Access
Stepping outside the shapes series for a deep dive: how space configuration decides which people and which apps get credentials. Here be dragons.
Bluesky Protocol Services
Bluesky's public infrastructure layer for ATProto developers, including Jetstream v2 network replay, typed SDKs, and the Bluesky HTTP reference.
malachite gains a polish migration subtool
A new -m polish mode (and matching web wizard card) backfills legacy fm.teal.alpha.feed.play scrobbles into production fm.teal.feed.play, preserving rkeys, then removes the legacy copies after each backfill succeeds. The migration logic is shared through croft-click-core.
New project — keepsake, a text RPG whose save file is your AT Protocol DID
A C++23 text adventure where signing in makes your own PDS the save file — character sheet, quest progress, verifiable achievements, and a firehose-fed shared world, built in under a day.
MetalBear gets a local dev instance and fixes its own did:web self-resolution
Standing up a real localhost-only PDS surfaced two bugs -- did:web never resolved its own DID document when the DID encoded a port, and account creation had no way to avoid minting a real did:plc on the live PLC directory. Both fixed. 0.39.0 to 0.39.1.

ATSMS Group Chat: End-to-End Encryption Without the Lock-In
Private group messaging that belongs to you, not to an app — built on the AT Protocol identity you already have. A proof of concept, published with its specifications, its code, and its open questions.
wolfram's server goes multithreaded, and the Wii build gets un-broken
The XRPC server picked up a real thread pool and an async client SDK, rate limiting and per-route auth policies got finished off, and a spliced function signature that silently broke the Wii/Wii U cross-build for a week got found and fixed.
Inkwell reaches standard.horse content parity and ships on AltStore
Since launch, inkwell added pub.leaflet.comment support, all 18 Leaflet block types, Constellation-backed cross-repo discovery, and fixed PDS resolution for DIDs — then shipped a real AltStore sideloading source with a signed IPA.
MetalBear's frontend becomes a self-service console, and CI starts testing the containers it ships
The frontend grew from bare login/OAuth-consent pages into a full account console -- passkeys, password/email/handle changes, data export, guided migration, an admin dashboard -- while a separate thread found the shipped Docker image had never actually been able to start, and fixed the release pipeline that let that ship three times. 0.7.0 to 0.38.2.
MetalBear hardens OAuth, session scopes, and identity against the reference PDS
An unauthenticated login_hint could mint an OAuth code for any account, app passwords and full-access OAuth grants could reach account-deletion and email-change endpoints, and DPoP was optional everywhere it mattered -- all closed, alongside a run of PLC identity bugs and a new WebAuthn/passkey login path. 0.7.0 to 0.38.2.
wolfram closes a DPoP sender-constraint bypass and hardens identity resolution
A DPoP-bound OAuth token could be silently rebound to an attacker's key when it had no cnf.jkt at issuance; fixed alongside a fail-open handle-verification bug, response-body leaks on every failed DID fetch, unbounded network waits, and new PLC/DID APIs.
Adversarial Spaces
Thinking about how records move through space
wolfram's CLI becomes a real AT Protocol client, and the agent layer sheds its stubs
wolf grew from a ~45-command demo into a full-coverage client with 14 focused modules, gained a PDSls-style browse/identity/plc-log trio, and several agent-level "honest stubs" got real implementations.
MetalBear closes its reference-parity gap on server, admin, and repo writes
A sustained audit against the reference PDS fixed admin field gaps, repo write-path error codes, blob and repo store concurrency bugs, and split a sprawling server.c into domain-scoped files. 0.7.0 to 0.39.0.
