Missed first two days of localfirstconf in person so now videos are out I’ve been catching up. This talk by @jenson.org resonates the most with me. Now is the time we should be building new and novel system interfaces www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IOL...

My DJ style... I am not a very good DJ. There is no proper way to mix. I bring other things. The music. jagged approach. places I am not supposed to be. I am just a beatmaker recounting. Or equivalent of a graffiti artist. Not a DJ
Thanks incognitothief @whereditgo.diamonds for spinning on main stage at Lab Day. I have to check whether we got audio / video recordings. We can plan ahead for #AtmosphereConf if you’re up for it

Boris@bmann.ca · 5d agoThis is the low level protocol hack I was teasing! 🤯🤯🤯 @scottlanoue.com is the developer of @comail.at - email trust with atproto accounts. Now he has “login with atmosphere” supported as native accounts on GrapheneOS, with forked & patched native apps @bsky.app @blackskyweb.xyz @stream.place
Now imagine a custom ROM with this kind of setup. That’s what I dream @tiles.run to be in 2027.
Scooty@scottlanoue.com · 5d agoHappy Friday! I've been building towards an "Atmosphere OS", where my atproto account is the identity layer on a real phone. I wrote a little bit about it here:
Our talk from Local-First Conf 2026 is now available online. We share how Tiles is building a private, collaborative AI assistant that runs on your own devices. It uses a peer-to-peer architecture for syncing and the AT Protocol as its social layer. Watch the full talk here: youtu.be/WY_M7TMQ8do

Huge thanks to our speakers, volunteers, venue staff, and sponsors @cloudflare.social, @powersync.com, @coderabbitai.bsky.social, @jazz.tools, @bsky.app, @tangled.org, and solstone.app for making this possible at an accessible price. And to everyone who came: this only works because you show up.
There are many things being built on atproto. Many of them won’t get adopted or thrive. And yes, many are built without user research. It’s OK? Don’t use things you don’t want to. Promote things you like. And build something yourself if you feel like it. Do it the way YOU want it to be.

This is why @atproto.science is so relevant rn This compilation of essays indicates that scientists are most frustrated by insufficient “community tools and resources... Essential infrastructure for sharing, maintaining and building on existing work and data is also badly underdeveloped." >

If you are interested in the history of the various decisions that went into @iroh.computer 1.0, I have written a blog post about the road to iroh 1.0. There were a lot of twists and turns... www.iroh.computer/blog/the-roa...
