Building Apps With ATProto
summary
ATProto is an open protocol that moves posts, follows, likes and media out of company databases into user-controlled repos, where identity is a DID and handles map to DNS. Records are JSON and media are stored as blobs so any app can render the same user data. The ecosystem already has concrete apps—Streamplace streaming, rpg.actor games, atmo.quest QR/leaderboard—and an app index listing about 391 apps; the event QR and leaderboard build demonstrates the model actually works.
