a little tour of what's growing around atproto, beyond Bluesky itself
places to post, chat, and organize, that aren't the main app
the flagship app, and most people's front door to the network — but just one client among many that speak the same protocol.
event listings and RSVPs built as atproto records, so "I'm going" lives in your own repo instead of a platform's database.
a code forge for atproto — repos, issues, and collaboration modeled as records instead of living behind one company's login wall.
writing, drawing, and posting tools that write into your own repo
longer-form publishing on atproto — docs, newsletters, little pages ("leaflets") that live in your PDS like everything else, instead of a separate CMS with its own login.
one of the earlier atproto blogging tools — markdown posts stored as records on your own PDS, rendered as a blog.
a drawing/whiteboard tool built on the protocol — sketches as atproto records rather than files locked to one service.
a Hacker-News-shaped link aggregator for the network — submit, upvote, and discuss, all as atproto records.
for people poking at the protocol itself, not just posting on it
the protocol's own docs — lexicons, the repo/DID model, the firehose. the actual reference, not someone's summary of it (including this page's).
point it at any DID or handle and browse the raw records in that account's repo — the closest thing to "view source" for an atproto account.
one of the many people in this ecosystem who use their own domain as their handle and build atproto-flavored things under it — worth a follow if you want to see tools land as they ship, not after.
