Any BB users going on a flight soon and wanna help us test something? 👀
Beacon Bits
@beaconbits.app
📍 Drop a beacon. Pin your photos & posts to the map, tag friends, and cross-post to your atproto account. beaconbits.app
@montoulieu.dev any documentation or advice on creating @beaconbits.app check-ins from an atmospheric ticket scan? 👀
A new BB update has landed! We’ve squashed some bugs, optimized a few things under the hood, and added snazzy new open graph cards for share embeds. Here are some beacons from our awesome community to help show it off:
Foursquare just pushed out a UI redesign and I think it's now officially cooked 😢 After 15 years of consistently using it, I think I will be turning my attention to @beaconbits.app. Fortunately I've built an import tool in @passports.social. I'm afraid to flood the firehouse with 10k+ posts 😅
Eu duvido que só tenha eu no Brasil aqui no biska que gosta de fazer check-in nos lugares legais que visita
Beacon Bits June update is now live! This release brings some sweet new features: 🌎 A new 3D map using @maplibre.org 📍 Clickable POI markers for easier checkins ☀️ Weather details on beacons and posts ❤️ Better interactions backed by @microcosm.blue 🔐 New OAuth backend with a 90 day timeout

New use for @semble.so connections - link book to the bookshop where you found it ↔️ Some day we'll have @beaconbits.app interop so integrated physical and intellectual journeys can be shared on protocol 🤓
📍 Wasabi Restaurant · Lakewood, Colorado, US ☁️ 77°F Wasabi bombs and testing the new weather feature in @beaconbits.app w/ @cyanne.codes https://beaconbits.app/beacon/e5zplwgiznavptdxhx5n2zlp/3mmx6s3zpak2o #BeaconBits
Get ready for a new way to see beacons across the globe. Our next update will add clickable POI markers and a new 3D map experience. Stay tuned for more info this week 📡
The latest build of Beacon Bits is live! We’ve rolled out performance improvements, bug fixes and a new guide feature that allows you to share walking guides. Some other exciting things are in the works, so stay tuned. 📡
🧵 BeaconBits, by @beaconbits.app All the check-ins made on beaconbits.app bsky.app/profile/did:...
I made it to the little German village where my people are from.
📍 Menonniten Friedhof Other · Limburgerhof, Rhineland-Palatinate, DE Made it to the Mennonite Cemetery where my grandparents and great grandparents on my mother’s side are buried. Getting a bit emotional. https://beaconbits.app/beacon/2cxgdrgtsmrbqnjkwyplmp43/3mkafukuiy22p #BeaconBits
Just a heads up that Beacon Bits now uses granular permission scopes and permission sets for sign-in. More updates coming soon 🤙
🌸 The anomaly has bloomed further overnight into a fractal structure. We’re estimating it will hit critical mass at around 2:45 PM PST. Start the clock ⏰ #atproto #ATmosphereConf
⚠️ After some downtime… we’re back up. All relay beacons from today have awakened the anomaly, causing it to bloom. A kaleidoscope of butterflies has also joined and begun flying around the core. What will the final day of #ATmosphereConf bring?
⚠️ Energy is off the charts at #ATmosphereConf and the anomaly has now begun to bloom. An aurora also appears to be forming over the UBC campus. What awaits us when we hit full signal lock?
Ok we might need to organize groups, I suggest we jump into the Roomy chat dedicated to the anomaly and create a bunch of threads for each station #AtmosphereConf
⚠️ The AMS Nest station is officially at full signal lock. The rest of the relay stations need your beacons to make the echo anomaly bloom. With your continued assistance #ATmosphereConf, hopefully we can discover the nature of this anomaly…

⚠️ Relay stations at UBC have been activated. Our first signal boosts are coming through and we’re beginning to see the anomaly react. Stay tuned for more updates as #ATmosphereConf begins.
📍 Lev Bukhman Theatre Lounge Place · 6133 University Boulevard, University of British Columbia Scoping out the venue before the event starts https://beaconbits.app/beacon/l5yz32nydpebjlcdfgycmf3x/3mhvywlg7hk22 #BeaconBits
So excited for the Atmosphere to intersect with physical space next week at @atmosphereconf.org
Next week at #ATmosphereConf will be our critical window. The sheer collective energy there will allow us to power up each beam from the relay stations. If we can bring them all online with enough beacon drops, something incredible is bound to happen. Standby for signal boost. ⚡️
📡 Anomaly Update 004 The Echo Anomaly is responding to our relay stations and has started to subtly breathe. Current state is stable, but we lack the energy to initiate a full connection. To push past this threshold, we need a huge, synchronized surge of power. And that's where you come in...
Pieter @montoulieu.dev isn't giving a talk at this year's conference, but he's working on rolling out a fun atproto linked game with @beaconbits.app: an anomaly is forming over the UBC venue in Vancouver! Follow the app (and login and press the anomaly scanner button in app) to find out more
📡 Anomaly Update 003 For the last 48 hours, the relay station atop AMS Nest has been analyzing a high frequency signal emanating from the anomaly. Today this signal abruptly synchronized and revealed a message. Standby for further instructions...
From logging real world venues with @beaconbits.app to an in-progress cyberpunk desktop OS @aetheros.computer , Pieter @montoulieu.dev is an atproto developer who is joining us at #atmosphereconf this year
Pieter Montoulieu: From Beacons to Operating Systems
Pieter is coming to AtmosphereConf - ask him about his apps: SkyTube, Nimbus, Aether OS and Beacon Bits

⚠️ Heads up, our @convex.dev powered appview is currently experiencing an outage. We'll reply to this message with an update when all is back to normal.

Another quick update, but @blackskyweb.xyz users will now see "View on Blacksky" and "Post To Blacksky" throughout the app. Did some debug testing on this locally, but would love some help to confirm all is working properly on the live app. ✌️
BeaconBitsにアノマリーが出現。30日後のエミッション(ATmosphereConf)が原因でしょう。貴重なアーティファクトが見つかるかも(何か違う) https://www.beaconbits.app/map
