⚡️ Now ready for development: custom algorithms!
We've put together a starter kit with instructions on how to implement your own custom algorithm here.

Incredible morning with @kelseyhightower.com at QED conference..the talk, the conversation afterwards, I made an amazing friend! This is what conferencing is all about, making such connections.
Microservices vs monoliths doesn't matter. Write modular code, abstract away services into reusable components, and combine them into one or more artifacts based on your needs.
The Amazon Prime Video team was able to reduce cost by moving from Serverless backed by Lambda to monoliths running on VMs.
"Moving our service to a monolith reduced our infrastructure cost by over 90%. It also increased our scaling capabilities."
to people that don't care about federation and servers and just want to post: yeah that's been the point from day one. all of this should just feel natural. if it doesn't, it's just a bad product
Who begs for an invite code just to show up with a bunch of nonsense. Social media is what you make it. Being a terrible human is optional and unnecessary.
Seems like there is going to be a lot of work required to help people understand that the AT Protocol isn't just another crypto project looking to sell people tokens and get rich quick.
I have an AT protocol question.
If a data repository is just a Merkle Search Tree, and a DID is designed to be portable, then when federation comes to AT, if I decide I don't like where I am, I can move to a new provider, keep my handle, keep all my posts, and keep my followet/following graph?
The AT Protocol docs are outstanding. They use clear language, and diagrams, with easy to parse examples for people who want to understand how things work.
Most of my technical questions have been answered and now I want to start building stuff. https://atproto.com/docs
And some of the best features are invisible. Like the scrolling is not janky. Your brain might not consciously know why you don’t want to use an app, but it’s usually because there’s something wrong with the way the scrolling works. Bluesky scrolls nicely. That MATTERS.
The Bluesky iOS app has exceeded my expectations. For a beta this feels like the true definition of an MVP. For the features it supports, I find them easy to discover, and use, so I gotta say y'all are killing it.
Well done Bluesky team.

Now I got a lot more. It's on now, but in the spirit of the beta, and what the team is trying to build here, I'm going to careful handing these things out.
The ability to host your own content has been core to the modern web for a long time. Now we have a wider selection of protocols that allow us to replicate what only large scale centralized services where able to do, and the experience of those who have done it before.
Yes! The BlueSky team has developed a solid MVP without over-engineering. Frictionless onboarding. (Quick) Domain verification. Follow/Post/Reply/Share/Like capabilities, deployed it to an engaged customer base. *chefs kiss*
