pretty damn close to a 100% top-to-bottom bluesky-free bluesky ✅ indie pds (lots) ✅ indie relay (mine + others now!) ✅ indie jetstream (mine + many more (optional)) 🌀 indie appview (AppViewLite has some issues, @futur.blue's should work, more in progress) ✅ indie client (@aviva.gay's deer.social !)

alright the work is cut out AppViewLite's own web view works really well, but i can't get very far using its XRPC endpoints. seems like deer was doing everything right though!

atproto is funny. all of this has been really doable for a while. even without sync1.1, non-archival relays were cheap. imo the low barrier to pds self-hosting is *the* underrated atproto quality. the rest just needs to be possible. wild how much perception about it shifted toward "impossible".

yeah. like all the people who can do it are doing more interesting things. but that audience is impossible to convince of anything.

although i do think it's huge to finally have an alternative because imo it's important for people to know what a baseline appview looks like without bsky's value adds (cdn, dm's, etc)
