Earlier quoted context omitted.

For now mostly just small things that the Bluesky dev/user community is playing with, but check out e.g. Tangled which is meant to be a GitHub alternative on ATProto: https://tangled.sh

ATProto is a lot of fun to work with, but of course by no means perfect. The biggest challenge right now is dealing with private data, I hope they can figure out a way to support it soon.

If you are interested in building on ATProtocol, one of the best places to start is the Discord (until we have an atproto native alt @blebbit.app)

https://discord.atprotocol.dev/

Of course the spec is good too, very easy read

https://atproto.com

https://docs.bsky.app

In this house, we believe “AT protocol” refers to Hayes modem commands.

Would be great to have a new modern alternative to the E-mail standard that is usable for both public and private messaging.

ActivityPub can be used for both public and private messaging, though I don't think the e-mail standard needs to be retired anytime soon.
