I love the idea of the atmosphere, but looking at all the apps on @sifa.id, I still dont "get it". At least, I dont get those apps, anyway. All I feel are solutions-looking-for-problems vibes. Would love to feel differently, though.

Have to say, I am not sure. I've seen people say it is LinkedIn for the atmosphere - and I'm not really seeing that. Maybe it is a future thing that you are planning, not yet implemented?

At the moment, it just seems to be an aggregator for atproto content. Not intending to minimise it with "just". An aggregator is useful, up to a point.

Ugh, all these atmosphere apps are great and all, but they feel developer-designed. There is no story being presented. Why should I care about you? (Not sifa specifically, just any of those apps.)

The /activity page is indeed aggregating atproto activity (or other like RSS, GitHub, ORCID) that you created (so not just simple likes). The /p/{username} pages are your classic profile/CV pages that LinkedIn also offers (although we aim to add a layer of more "proven/attested" data as well)

Well, Sifa has an import for all your CV data from LinkedIn, so in that sense it's very similar in their original purpose. Sifa doesn't (yet) have a combined activity timeline as LinkedIn does (it's on the roadmap) and this might be the most visible/daily part of LinkedIn that Sifa doesn't have yet
