Love the framing of "build on atproto without the hard parts." In the early days there were definitely people who complained that it was too tricky to build, but now we're seeing people making it easier and easier at almost every level. The excitement that "we can just build things" can bring...

So... how does HappyProto work? The short version: you write scripts, and HappyProto runs them as API routes, or as reactions to activity on the network. 🧵 #atproto

This will be such an incredible boon for the Atmosphere. We're excited to see more Atmospheric content in Bluesky, which results in more users learning about the amazing things happening outside of Bluesky! 🤩 #atproto

TO BE FAIR, it is good marketing! @trezy.codes should use a pic of him crying while patching server as advertising. [picture of Trezy weeping at a computer] "This could be you. But now...it doesn't have to! @happyproto.at keeps you smiling through the most severe of CVEs storms."

Login with atproto may be one of the most powerful pieces the protocol has to offer, but setting it up can be... difficult. HappyProto makes it easy. Allow your users to log in with any atproto account and skip a week of reading specs. OAuth, DPoP, scopes... forget about it. 😎 #atproto

Decentralization, user autonomy, community moderation... atproto is awesome! It's also complex, and building on it shouldn't mean learning how every piece works. Tell HappyProto what data you care about and it indexes everything important, deletions and moderation decisions included. #atproto

You don't need to know how relays or PDSes work to use HappyProto. Write lexicons for your data and scripts for your logic. We'll run everything underneath. If you've been lost figuring out how all the pieces of atproto fit together... HappyProto is for you. Sign up for the beta at happyproto.at.

HappyProto: the backend for atproto apps

Build on atproto without the hard parts. HappyProto runs the backend: an API over 46 million atproto accounts, with sign-in, private data and scripting included.

happyproto.at

atproto is public by default... which is great until your app needs a private group, or an invite list, or a draft. HappyProto comes with atproto spaces already enabled. You can have permissioned data for your users, even if their PDS doesn't support it yet. #atproto

My goal is to get more people building on atproto. Two recent projects are helping: @attie.ai Sites lets non-devs build atproto mini-apps, and @happyproto.at handles atproto infra for devs.

There's not nearly enough of y'all in the new @happyproto.at Discord. Come on through! discord.gg/Cbt6EVthyQ #atproto

Weekend project idea: build something with @happyview.dev. Self-host it today with the quickstart. A tool to move it over to HappyProto is in the works. Or get on the waitlist and let us do the server part. #atproto

Happy to see this come alive, and in such a relatively short time too! Congratulations on all the progress since the last AtmosphereConf, @trezy.codes!

Step by step, watching people making it easier and easier for more cool things to be built on atproto, the way the open web should work, rather than having everything locked up in silos.

Someone has to make sure you get your upgrades. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh cool, so now I have a babysitter. 🙄 Fine. HappyProto runs HappyView so you don't have to. Go sign up, y'all. 😎

Yesssss this is what we’ve needed

For the past year, I've been working hard on HappyView. I've built so many features, and there are now hundreds of apps built on top of it. It's been a long, winding ride, and I've loved every minute of it. #atproto

Tomorrow I start promoting something new and exciting... 👀 #atproto #happyview

New plugin install UI for HappyView v3. 👀 #atproto

Scope the new space explorer coming in the next HappyView release. 👀 #atproto

Am I Building the Torment Nexus? I built a tool that lets HappyView operators browse the contents of atproto spaces, and the moment I saw it working I got a pit in my stomach. Here's what the community had to say about whether it should exist, and what it needs to look like if it does.

HappyView 2.16.0 is now available! The spaces implementation catches up with the latest changes to the atproto spaces proposal and the reference PDS, plus a bunch of bug fixes. 😎 #atproto

HappyView v2.16

HappyView becomes the authority for its own spaces, credentials get signed requests, and space sync goes both ways.
