Conference Takeaways

I’m back from ATmosphereConf in Vancouver, and I'm processing what I saw and heard. The atproto developer community could not have been nicer and more welcoming. Here are some takeaways. The Atmosphere is bigger than social media I've been to a lot of developer conferences over the years, and what struck me most about this...

About the Atmosphere

I’m writing this from the beautiful UBC campus in Vancouver where ATmosphereConf 2026 is taking place. It’s a gathering of developers, researchers, and entrepreneurs who are passionate about keeping the web and our online conversations free and open. The mood here is excited and very collaborative, and I’ve been meeting many of the people who...

Bridging the Web - Part 3

In my continued effort to syndicate my blog posts far and wide I have implement Standard Site [1]. This is an AT Protocol Lexicon for long form publishing. A Lexicon is a schema for structured data. Basically fields with strict definitions of what can go in these fields. Bluesky is also based on an AT Protocol Lexicon. The difference is that Bluesky's lexicon limits posts to 300 characters. Standard Site expands that to 3,000 characters allowing for longer essays. The problem with this is that Bluesky cannot display posts published with the Standard Site lexicon. There are however a number on new sites that do: leaflet.pub [2] and pckt.blog [3] among others. Simply publishing my posts with Standard Site lexicon syndicates them to these sites automatically, but if I want them to show up on Bluesky I also have to publish them in their lexicon (which I was already doing). The hope is that Site Standard does indeed become a standard and becomes widely implemented. Time will tell. So now my Blog posts are available over Indieweb, Bluesky, ActivityPub (Mastodon), and now Standard Site. Noticeably absent from this list is Facebook. Facebook as I'm sure you know, is not a team player and is not interested in participating in the Open Web. a.k.a. A walled garden. This is unfortunate, because that's where all my friends are. While I may have followers on these other platforms, very few of them are people I actually know. I hope this changes. I hope I can convince more of my friends to move off of Facebook [1] https://standard.site [2] https://leaflet.pub [3] https://pckt.blog/

Week 2 at Bluesky

Happy to report that week 2 has been just as energizing as week 1. I’m still meeting lots of new people and learning the ropes. In addition to spending time with the Bluesky team, I met with several Atmosphere folks: Boris who is working on organizing the ATmosphereConf (more on that below), Jared from Leaflet,...
