Example uses: color coding different lists, so people from said list's post show up with a background shade.

what do you think that would look like in the app?

The important part is social-app doesn't have to have chose a particular app to integrate with, just what lexicons do. I'd love to see more open governance emerge about proposing embeds and working with other parts of the atmosphere.

Also thank you for pushing this forward! Very cool

fix reporting. right now, you choose a reason, then who you're sending it to, even if that labeler doesn't handle those reports at all. each labeler should publish what kind of reports it handles, and the app should respect those.

^brief^detailed ;)

if you want to go crazy, partner with security friends like @socket.dev to review apps and provide a directory with reviews. google chrome's initial benefit was incredible performance, the extensions however are what has locked in value and pulled developers from moz eco. the pattern holds here.

If polls were a native feature, you could make a list of the most suggested things and have people vote on their prioritization. Just saying 😉 In reality though, I really do think native features in parity to competitors is important for getting more people on board.

Nowhere in the app is it possible to explore labelers. Custom feeds are also not really discoverable (maybe just show what friends use), and it is not explained if they receive usage data.

Everyone else's suggestions are wrong, only mine is correct: Allow users to place custom action icons in various places in the app. both appended to every post and to the main app chrome. for example, I'd like to replace my Bookmark button with a "Save to @semble.so " action.

Profile integration with other ATProto apps, ala Discord “Connections” Stuff you could do with this: - Rich Presence like Now Playing status from teal.fm or Rocksky - Stats from other apps like # of Photos posted to Pinksky or Grain - Links for other apps’ AppViews for your profile

Progressive disclosure about pds choice, maybe using account completion, and a way for engaged users to see it’s worth the hassle so they can tell their friends

I was contemplating adding it, thanks for saying this! 100% agree.

Dammit I was too slow

As a developer (and also as a user), I wish the DM experience was richer. An API to serve user options and return context-aware responses would be amazing.

i'm sure this is industry practice or whatever, but i don't get why i need to re-approve the permissions of every atproto app so often... to me, that just means i don't even read what permissions it's requesting anymore, i get security fatigue. that's terrible for getting users used to oauth.

Labels for posts. For instance ‘sarcasm’, ‘rhetorical question’ ‘seeking advice’ ‘fundraising’

it’s mandatory in our hearts 🖤

A way to display links to other apps' profiles in your profile, perhaps via a standard profile lexicon. A generic "status" area in user profiles that can be set by other apps in a similar way to the "live", to support e.g. "currently reading", "currently playing" like Discord.

Y’all* lmao post without a typo 2026 challenge (impossible)

in all seriousness it is a good thing to point to for the concept since it’s very well encapsulated (from the outside)

galaxy brain

Off-protocol analytics are so very unsolved in the ecosystem right now. Streamplace view counts are "eh just trust whatever Eli says". I bet we can do better

lead the way with rebranding the logon experiance to "ATmosphere account" so it lays the groundwork for all other apps to do the same, then post from bsky account about how you are rebranding so you know that the atmospher account can be used other places

+1 to this! If I could add my other atmosphere profiles and get icons for each directly on my bsky profile page that would be pretty cool (basically like the germ icon but for other vetted apps). Even a little Semble icon on some peoples profiles pages would be awesome for us!

people feeling comfortable logging in to an account they already have on other atproto apps if they see a familiar login that they experience when logging into an atproto app they already trust with their password (Bluesky).

In the meantime tangled.org/sparrowtek.c...

Non-public content

Would be cool if you could have a generic action or button for atmosphere links that the developer can setup

Not actually be afraid of the Atmosphere branding. Use it, mention it in the logon flow. It doesnt have to be the first thing people see, but it should create a visual identity that can be recognizable elsewhere. Noone not techy understands what the atmosphere impliesand we should change that

Oh really?! I had no idea I guess I’ve been running on outdated information. Will look into it!

I am thinking how Discord bots make for an easy UI. "Ephemeral responses" can be probably implemented in the future with Spaces too.

I think giving feedback whenever possible and just generally interacting in the community is a must! even if you don't have the best techy skills it's important to just be a community member! that's how we get tracktion build awareness

A more visible selector of major PDSs in the account creation flow from bsky.app

Give us blue badges when we help fix stuff, and build great products on atproto that add value to the community?

more ways to surface used services as first class things that show up on a profile, like letting you have your default tab for strangers be standard.site posts or pubs, instead of skeets

New builders, or experienced builders to build more, or both

Get regular users used to the oauth PDS screen by making the app go through it. 99% of users don't realize they have an atmosphere account on bluesky, not vice versa.

To help atproto builders, we need new people to come on the ecosystem, and feature alone will not do that. I hope a market/com team will be created to support one of the atproto project (or all), and will be as active as dev around here. (I'm volunteer if a team like that should be created🙆‍♂️)

Oh I guess “pay them” yeah.

Encourage expansion into other micro-publishing formats with centralized hosting providers. Right now, webcomics are reeling.

Asking is great! Highlighting what other apps/lexicons people are using on their profile would help discoverability a lot. Use the same PDS auth path as every other app. Showing content from other lexicons (music streams, X is live on Y, etc) in feeds/profiles of bsky app.

working on it! mallbucks.malldao.xyz has hongbao. mini-shops is next.

this bsky.app/profile/lou....

Images I can understand being a child safety concern but typing indicators I’d also get behind

What about zero features and integrate with @germnetwork.com instead (since the question was about supporting ATProto creators)

Also a replies API that allows users to program when a message is a reply to another message

My top features: - Read/sent/sending statuses for messages -GIF Browser -Typing indicators I have a 3rd party app I’ve been developing called Not Twitter that would greatly benefit from it

Your feed builders are the most numerous type of builders in the entire Bluesky ecosystem. Making positive changes to feed building in any way massively impacts the largest number of people doing free labor to make Bluesky a more engaging and personalized place. Nothing else is even close!

and if this seems like "but that's not atproto, it's bsky" - wrong. feeds can easily provide a surface into other atproto apps either simply by e.g., just showing links to standard.site articles. or feeds could get more love and more natively support multiple lexicons.

seconding this & also actually kinda *begging* for the team to do more to educate non-techie users abt custom feeds 🙏🏼

i'm not a technical person, so i'm not sure if this makes sense... but it'd be neat if an app like Sill could open links in Mu.Social rather than the official Bluesky app. ie: pick a preferred client app.

Spreading as much awareness about the entire network as possible to non-techies, maybe some would get interested in learning how to develop something for the whole Atmosphere! There's no future for ATproto if people aren't aware of its existence, Bluesky is not promoting it nearly enough!

Add some funky little Hollywood animations to logins and page refreshes that highlight how Bluesky is part of a greater decentralised network. Like "reticulating splines" but showing a very quick diagrams of a PDS with multiple apps listed, then Bluesky gets selected.

Don't know about builders...how about an EDIT feature for posts for ALL the rest of us normal users...?

like if someone uses the (again, optional) semantic search thingy to look for posts about dealing with ingrown hairs, maybe the top results are perfectly normal posts that happen to mention how pleased someone is with their safety razor (semantic search brought to you by Leaf Shave)

I love all these suggestions 🙂

farcaster frames was an influencing thought over here for a beat. worth revisiting. not meaning that we should build exactly farcaster frames, but it serves as a bit of art on the wall to reference.

would love more folks to kick the tires on mallbucks.malldao.xyz happy to add easy-pay link integration for content providers if they want it.

This would be fantastic. I'm often willing to pay $0.25 - $2.00 to read an interesting article on some site that has been linked by a person I follow, but I'm NOT willing to create a bespoke profile and sign up for a subscription when I'll likely never go there again.

Check out @atcash.app building for exactly this!

@atmosphere.money and @atcash.app sorting the payments + wallets part. Agree would combine well with mini apps

something along the lines of the official @standard.site integration, but open for the community to build & play around with would be awesome!

paging @robin.berjon.com

and atproto mini apps would be much more compelling then Farcaster, 'cause Farcaster handled automatic authentication but had no coherent shared data plane after that, no PDS repo Data in mini apps generally lived in random Postgres databases from the developers, we can do much better!

+1 to Web Tiles

That is a very complicated question, because I don't want them to have to be JS or HTML, but they also need to work everywhere. I want to say Wasm, but that leaves a big UI question open. I'm working on some of these issues. I'd be happy to talk!

Ooooo I 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 like this & for multiple reasons; catering to user convenience is probably the biggest one. I love surf since it does this, but it being it's own app view is enough friction against habituated muscle memory that, for my mileage, the app just collects dust unfortunately

would be a soft introduction of the concept of atproto for many people, and would also open up the ability for atproto microblog builders to really create their own spaces that are distinct from Bluesky

Private Accounts or posts and the primitives for that network wide

Marketing and promotion tools

Collaborate with apps like @sprk.so to support records for short form video posting on Bluesky Genuinely think this is one of the biggest things you could do to support the current ecosystem of ATproto apps We NEED to improve/encourage short form video posting on the Atmosphere

Inside the app: two things. An app directory, and a "via" label on every post that links to the client's site and its support page. Users find the apps. The apps get a path to getting paid.
