AT Protocol Developers@atproto.com · 4d agoFor those who run Node.js services—we are currently still waiting for a Node.js security release. In the meantime you can apply a runtime mitigation by adding `--import=@atproto-labs/fetch-node/emudhra-preload` to your service entrypoint. More details at: npmx.dev/package/@atp...
The eMudhra intermediate CA compromise broadly impacts the atproto ecosystem. At this point lots of software has been patched, and we recommend upgrading if you run a distribution of the relay, pds, jetstream, or use the goat CLI. For general information see the site linked below, otherwise read on.

Atmosphere update: atproto apps are growing 20% month over month, and last week we passed 1,000 daily active apps.
many of yall already know how much jim rules. if only you saw all the super impactful work he did behind the scenes at bsky too. it goes deep. learned a bunch from jim and so, so glad to have been able to spend so many days together hackin it up! 💙
Jim Calabro ♟️@calabro.io · last wk.Hello friends! Life update: after 1.5 years, I've decided it's time to move on from Bluesky and start the next chapter. Today's my last day! It has been an absolute honor and pleasure to work with such a talented, fun team on a critical mission. I'm so proud of them and excited to see what's next
@toni.bsky.team built a $10b business at @automattic.com where 90% of it flows into the ecosystem. Let’s stop talking about how to divide up the pennies left on the table for creators and builders in walled gardens. The time is now for creators & builders to build and they should take home the $$

@thisismissem.social continuing to connect the dots for us all on bringing decentralized login to the web! these updates are hugely useful to see the big picture, with so many individuals and ecosystems in the mix.
Emelia@thisismissem.social · 3w agoHere's the first update on the FedCM grant that I've been working on, which admittedly is quite behind schedule due to my chronic illness. Hoping to get more out quicker in the future.
it's that day of the week where we ship the latest changes to the atproto spaces alpha! if you're interested in building against atproto spaces while it's in alpha, right this way: atproto.com/blog/atproto...
The Atproto Spaces Alpha is Live
Atproto Spaces, formerly known as “the permissioned data protocol,” is a new extension to atproto that enables non-public data. The alpha is now officially open. Here’s how to develop with it and what to expect as we work towards the full release.

I'm excited to announce that the PLC Organization now has a statute! And a bank account! And a @standard.site publication! All the important stuff. The PLC Org is an independent Swiss Association meant to operate the PLC directory, which collects and distributes signed updates to atproto accounts.

we've been doing some early building with atmospheric groups, and all i can say so far is that this is something completely new and exciting. everyone who has been involved should be proud. the future of the web might just rule

made a post in the atmosphere developer forum about timelines for rolling out spaces (aka permissioned data) and community groups to the full network. tl;dr: a couple more months of iteration and prep, then major PDS operators could coordinate to go "general availability" around mid-November

preeetttty cool seeing what atmospheric login in the browser might look like 👀👀👀 super grateful that @sgo.to from the chrome team is digging into this, helping us rapidly get to the heart of the UX and technical questions to sort through. feels like it's already really taking shape!
Sam Goto@sgo.to · 2mo ago@thisismissem.social @divy.zone and I recently went through an exploration of how the browser can help you login to websites with atproto accounts. We recently presented to the FedID CG and here is a sneak peek in case you couldn't join! This is early but we'd love your input before we go too far!
atproto will continue to find all sorts of different use across the 'net. but at the end of the day the protocol is designed for connecting people.
Reintroducing Spaces
Now with better perspective, zooming out and re-motivating the design of spaces, the new primitive for non-public data on atproto.

bluesky has always offered protocol services for devs— the relay, jetstream, and the bluesky api are the main ones. but until today those haven't really had a proper home. the crew as been working hard, and there's (even) more here than meets the eye, let's break this down!!
Bluesky Protocol Services
High scale open social, unlocked for every builder. Bluesky operates public infrastructure for the AT Protocol — Jetstream, Relay, and the Bluesky API — as open services anyone can build on.

👋🏾 I have joined @bsky.app as VP of Engineering! I’ve been admiring this team’s work for years, and I’m thrilled to be joining them to build the future of the open social web.
@why.bsky.world dove in ahead of us to some of the hairiest problems making atproto real, functional in practice. and then once we solved problems together made sure we didn't hesitate to push the button, to move forward and do hard things. thanks buddy!!
Why@why.bsky.world · 4mo agoToday is my last day being responsible for any random thing around Bluesky. Its been a looooong journey and things feel calm enough now that I can finally take a break and figure out what I want to do next (immediate next is vacation ofc).
