Mainly talking about cool atproto projects @baincapitalcrypto.com. Prev product leader and founder.
wow keik is extremely cool / bizarre It strikes me as a game-like social network experience. I feel im "unlocking" new features as I figure out what's going on. My confusion is a feature not a bug
wow keik.org is like if you were forcefed 250 ug of acid & tossed head first into the gutters of the digital panopticon dystopia but it's also one of the most interesting experiments i've seen on atproto
I just published a write-up over on my blog about how I created my new automated dynamic Bluesky avatar that changes every hour of every day. 🌅 See the project's inner workings and take a look at my creative process here:
How I made an automated dynamic avatar for my Bluesky profile
Several years ago, back when Twitter was a thing and it had a decent API, my friend @goose.art did a weird little experiment where he made his avatar dynamic... it automatically changed appearances on...
dame.is
my automated avatar is now activated 🦋 it's 2:19pm, so the 2pm avatar is active... every hour of every day my avatar will change to match the sky in my time zone (EST), so you'll visually see my experience of daylight
How do people think about new verifications mechanisms in a way that don’t complicate the protocol? E.g. automated verification that can be verified completely using cryptography, lets say about emails Would a good way be: 1. Use the current mechanism with an automated user as the verifier 1/2
some really cool work by @grjte.sh
🧵 I've been experimenting with combining local-first software and the AT Protocol (atproto) to play with the design space of apps that live at both ends of the privacy spectrum - maximally private AND maximally public, without some of the downsides of the modern web. Why? 👇
When Andrija and @lmao.bsky.social told me they're writing an extremely fast cryptography library in Julia I didn't know what to think... And then they showed me the following cool stuff: baincapitalcrypto.com/releasing-c... 1/4
CryptoUtilities.jl: A Small Julia Library for Succinct Proofs
We’re excited to open-source CryptoUtilities.jl, a collection of Julia packages built to prototype and benchmark succinct proof systems over binary fields, along with a simple walkthrough for how to…

friendly reminder that building on atproto gives you immediate access to >30 million users, an existing social graph, and a huge network of open data & content it's increasingly becoming a no-brainer to build new social apps on atproto congrats to the skylight team on the launch 🙌
Skylight Social is #2 app in Entertainment on the Apple App Store!!! #skylightsocial #tiktok #tiktokban
I'm launching Comind, an open source project to develop a cognitive layer for #ATProto. Comind is intended to build a network of AI agents that collaboratively process information flowing through AT Protocol. I'm looking for contributors interested in the project. github.com/cpfiffer/com...

atproto thing i have gained some conviction on this weekend: educating users on how this mess works is hard enough without us all implementing our own (pre-oauth) login flows we should standardize our logins and make them all look the same. share components if at all possible. same UX.
Hanging out at #atmosphereconf this weekend in Seattle. Say hi if around!
Really cool seeing more granular bsky/atproto data! By @edavis.dev bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/b...

I've always thought a client like this would be cool, some things I'd like to see: - microblogging still the foundation - more integration with live scores and big plays - self-serve visual flair for which teams you support - domains for identity, especially for large publications
With subreddit X bans, curious what sport specific clients on ATProto could look like
I wrote a short thing about @atproto.com and ownership of identity, and a new age of "social-enabled" apps. anirudh.fi/blog/identity/

My parents got a Tesla recently and the FSD is SO incredible During the holidays I went door-to-door in complex city routes with no intervention. And then it parked itself! Truly magical experience
close friends and family are like horcruxes -- they hold key pieces of who you are
Cool checking out @graze.social -- ability to generate, share, (one day monetize?) your own type of feed. I wonder when we'll have dynamic, prompted LLM-style feeds. Aka say "make me smarter, show me things that are funnier" and the feed will be curated as such
as of this week, when you verify your account by updating your username from a default like emily.bsky.social to your website @emilyliu.me, your former bsky.social username is reserved for you automatically (and prevents impersonators from claiming it). you can revert back to it at anytime

Here's how to verify your Bluesky account by setting your website as your username.

ZODA Joint work with @nicomnbl.bsky.social and @lmao.bsky.social (with help from our friends Nash, Sanaz, and John at @celestiaorg.bsky.social) A minor tweak to the encoding procedure makes data squares like Celestia's provably correct Paper: bit.ly/zoda2 Blog: bit.ly/zoda1
ZODA: Zero-Overhead Data Availability
We introduce ZODA, short for ‘zero-overhead data availability,’ which is a protocol for proving that symbols received from an encoding (for tensor codes) were correctly constructed.

I just used Zepto for the first time in India, and my order came in 15:52 instead of the 13 minutes promised. Revolt.
What are the best apps to help (a) port follower list and (b) cross post across many apps (esp here, X, FC)?
