I wrote my first #atproto community discourse topic. Pretty simple idea, but can be a good groundwork for private data, group-owned data or off-protocol data.
[Proposal] AT-URI for cross-se...
#ATProto
been playing around with @keytrace.dev@bsky.brid.gy which is much like keybase profiles (remember that?) for #atproto - but better. @orta.io@bsky.brid.gy wondering if you could add rel=me to the tag too (for verified links on activitypub), & support for forgejo (codeberg, codefloe, etc) & threadiverse (piefed, lemmy, mbin)?
commissions are open. if you've been sitting on an idea and wondering whether to do something with it, this is a reasonable moment to reach out.
i take commissions for poetry, short fiction, and SvelteKit web development – all listed over at https://ko-fi.com/ewancroft. the silver fire sale is running for another four days, which means reduced prices across everything before standard rates resume. if timing matters to you, now's the window.
anyone who supports me – whether through a commission or just throwing a bit of money my way – gets shown as a sponsor on my website. it's a small thing, but it's there.
**poetry**
i've been writing poetry as a serious pursuit for a while now. my natural register is understated – spare lines, concrete images, things left to sit rather than be explained – but i can work outside that if your brief calls for something else. i've written elegies, love poems, poems about place and memory and the kind of mundane moments that turn out to matter. if you've got an occasion, a person you want something written for, a feeling you can't quite articulate, or just a subject you find interesting, send it over. i'll work from almost any starting point.
commissions come with a brief back-and-forth to make sure i've understood what you're after before i start. the finished piece is yours.
**short fiction**
short stories are a different discipline – more room to develop character and situation, still tight enough that every sentence has to do something. i write literary fiction, quiet horror, character studies, strange realism. if you've got a premise, a scenario, a world you want explored in compact form, i'm interested. i'm also happy to write to a theme or mood if you don't have something specific in mind.
give me something to work with and we'll figure out the shape of it together.
**SvelteKit development**
on the technical side, i build SvelteKit sites. i work with TypeScript, Tailwind, and the AT Protocol ecosystem if that's relevant to you. if you need a clean, functional web presence or a specific feature built out, i can scope it with you and give you a realistic sense of what's involved.
i deploy on Vercel, work with pnpm monorepos, and have production experience across a range of project types. if you've got something in mind, reach out and we can talk through it.
**the silver fire sale**
four days left on the silver fire sale – prices are reduced across all commission types until it ends. after that, standard pricing resumes. if you've been considering it, this is the practical moment to act.
everything is listed at https://ko-fi.com/ewancroft. have a look at what's there, and if something fits, get in touch via the platform, by email at contact@ewancroft.uk or on Bluesky @ewancroft.uk.

I’m so sleepy. I’ve been working on getting moderation setup for my big #atproto project (to be revealed this week 👀). Osprey (from @roost.tools@bsky.brid.gy) is very, /very/ cool, tho.
What an experience. #atproto

This is so cool, awesome! #ATmosphere #atproto #aetheros

I agree. It's not about sharing all the fancy protocol details; it's rather about conveying the idea of independence, freedom and data ownership
Maybe Bee could be our #atproto ambassador 🤔

Bluesky ist nur eine App von mehreren Apps im sozialen Netzwerk ( #atproto ). Sie greifen alle auf die eigenen Daten zu, die in einem persönlichen "Topf" liegen. Standardmäßig ist dieser Topf in den USA. Eurosky ermöglicht das Verschieben dieses Topfes in die EU. Die Apps schauen in den neuen Topf
You know what I would like.
A web app, that you can use as a single person combo activitypub server and atproto DPS,
Written in a way you can just unzip it to run on a LAMP stack like most really cheap website hosting
Encouraging post! We need to make apps based on #atproto, like @skylight.social@bsky.brid.gy, more visible

Bluesky aren't part of the #fediverse due to different protocols that they use, #ATProto aren't compatible with #ActivityPub and gladly we have Bridgy Fed to connect between them. But, only a few millions of Bluesky accounts are really connected to Bridgy Fed. Also, even though Bluesky does have more users than in fediverse, they somehow still do have limitations in their backend. 300 characters per post? Sounds like it's still limited.
Also, most Bluesky users are coming from the U.S and then some countries like Brazil, Japan, and more. In Indonesia itself, Bluesky does have the same fate as the fediverse, being a minority. Well, centralisation still matters these days for anybody who doesn't give a damn about the social interactions.

QQ: I’m looking for an #atproto CMS/blogging service that supports custom domains. I checked the popular ones like @leaflet.pub@bsky.brid.gy and @pckt.blog@bsky.brid.gy but I didn’t manage to confirm if they support them. I’d appreciate if somebody can give me some pointers!

I humbly come to you to ask: do you know of any bloggers that write regularly about the #Fediverse, #ActivityPub, #ATproto, or anything of that nature? It feels like it’s harder and harder to find individual voices and perspectives. If you’re writing stuff, I’m interested in following you.

As the network grows, it feels like it’s harder and harder to find individual voices and perspectives. If you’re writing stuff about the network, its evolution, the culture, and the people on it, I’m interested in following you.
Today I learned about #ATProto sidecar records. This way you can extend/annotate existing records. It's cool to see how seemingly small design decisions, like keys being unique per collection can have such an impact. trezy.com/blog/atproto...
ATProto Has a Profile Problem....
Funny how building an ActivityPub plugin for #indiekit fully based on Fedify, migrating my Mastodon account to my own server @rick@rmendes.net and building my own UI to consume AP content from the #Fediverse made me use even more than before.
This post is simultaneously a blog post, an #ActivityPub object in the inbox of my followers and a syndicated post to Bluesky.
Next in line? getting inspired by #Wafrn and turn this indiekit/AP instance into my own #Bluesky Pds.
Ja #atproto :n nerokkuus on, että PDS voi olla toimijan A pyörittämä (tai vaikka ihan oma pannu), ja sit AppView voi olla jonkun ihan muun, ja ne toimii keskenään ilosesti ristiin.
#Blacksky :n porukoilla on jo erillinen toteutuskin noista keskeisistä pulikoista, ja kokemusta niiden pyörittämisestä
