Progress on a PDS

My work-in-progress PDS is now available on GitHub Container Registry.

Don't Migrate Your Main. I Did, and Here's What Happened.

I pointed early software at the one account I couldn't afford to lose. It went exactly how you'd expect.

Standard.site Companion: eine kleine Safari-Erweiterung fürs AT-Protocol-Netzwerk

Vor ein paar Tagen bin ich über diesen Eintrag gestolpert, in dem sich Felix Schwenzel eine durchsuchbare Übersicht über alle Blogbeiträge wünscht, die im offenen Netz per Standard.site-Protokoll…

Moats & Drawbridges

In a world obsessed with moats, the open social web drops drawbridges

Talking in a room with no name.

"Bluesky" can mean at least four different things depending on the context. What do we mean exactly?

Your identity isn't your username

Your handle is a label; your identity is a key you own. atproto splits who you are from what you're called, so you can rename freely, prove who you are with a domain you control, and carry one identity across the apps you use. Part of 'Apps as Views, Not Vaults': the things you make are yours; apps are just the viewers.

Who actually owns your network?

Every time I moved a community to a new platform, the exit cost members and history. Platforms come and go; the lock-in architecture underneath is why. Part of 'Apps as Views, Not Vaults': the things you make are yours; apps are just the viewers.

Das AT-Protokoll und ich

Ich mache mir zurzeit wieder etwas mehr Gedanken über das AT-Protokoll (Bluesky und Co.).

The Win Was Never Bluesky. It Was the Protocol.

The better question is whether we can stop rebuilding the same landlord model with a different logo on the door. Right now, our social graphs are corporate hostage files. One model lets you leave a platform and take your world with you; the other forces you to download your history as a static zip file and start over from zero.

Make links to your blog render the custom "View publication" card + CTA

Short guide. The mechanism is simpler than it looks, and it doesn't involve any /.well-known file or DNS TXT record.

Bluesky Is an App. The AT Protocol Is the Internet Beneath It.

There is a confusion that keeps recurring, and it is understandable enough that it is worth addressing directly.

Testing the ATmosphere WordPress Plugin by Automattic

Babe, wake up. New ATProto WordPress plugin just dropped.

Testing a Plugin by Writing About Not Knowing What to Write About

There’s something beautifully recursive about installing a publishing plugin… then immediately not knowing what to publish with it.

Switched to the new ATmosphere plugin for Bluesky/AT protocol integration from johnbeales.com, and it seems great. So far it does exactly what I want it to.

Introducing Disperse: A Share Sheet for the Atmosphere

Over the last few months, I’ve been thinking through what services that cross the Atmosphere would look like. It’s led to a few experiments that are worth sharing, so here’s the first one.

e551 — ATProto Socials

e551 with Michael, Michael and Andy - a tour of the #Atmosphere with #ATProto, #Sifa, @eurosky.social, #Leaflet, a #LEGO #cacophonous #karaoke of “Mad About Me” and a whole lot more!

My website is atmospheric

In recent years, I'd tried building my own version of this using WordPress, Astro, 11ty, and others but never quite got it right. Enter the AT Protocol.

The Joy of AtmosphereConf

Last weekend, I was at the second annual AtmosphereConf among 300-some-odd of the kindest people I think I’ve ever met in tech/tech-adjacent spaces. I wanted to capture some of my emotions as I left the space on Monday, so here’s a peek into my experience.

ATmosphere Conf 2026: the internet built for people, not platforms

370 people in Vancouver, 500 online, all working on the same question: what does the internet look like when users own their data? Highlights from the AT Protocol community conference.

Running Doom over the AT Protocol

Every keystroke becomes a record. Every frame becomes a blob. A technical walkthrough of making the AT Protocol do something it was never designed for.

AetherOS impressions

AetherOS is an in-browser computer on the AT Protocol. I look forward to it working someday.

We made it! augment has officially moved over to a self-hosted site, and I’m so excited to tell you all about it.

Risks of DID:PLC

It's the cornerstone of identity on Bluesky. What could possibly go wrong?

Adding Standard.site Support

At the beginning of February, I wrote about my recent adventures in the ATmosphere. At the time of writing, I was working on adding standard.site support to this website. In the meanwhile, I've finished it and my blog should be fully compliant with the specification.

Flying Into The ATmosphere

Since FOSDEM, I've gone down the rabbit hole of the world of the AT Protocol - or the ATmosphere, as some would say. I've learned about a lot of cool projects, tried some of them, and made my website also a bit more atmospheric. As such, I decided it was worth sharing!

The Everything Account

I’ve been thinking a lot about our accounts lately. We all have an ever-growing pile of digital identities scattered across the web, many forgotten after a brief stint with a random service we found in an app store.

The Last Social Account You'll Ever Need.

One Account to rule them all, one Account to find them, One Account to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

What you can do with AT Protocol

Years of centralized platforms have limited our thinking about what's possible on the web.

The Importance of Backfillability

Our recently released tool to make it easier to backfill The Atmosphere is an important technical milestone. It's also deeply important to the goals of a decentralized protocol.
