We’ve been awarded a $300K non-dilutive grant, and I’m insanely proud of our team for pulling this off. More to come soon!

Okay frick it, I'm announcing the project I've been working on. It's called Reams, a markdown editor that syncs over atproto spaces. It works offline, doesn't require a login, and has a bunch of features packed in. Try it at reams.ink, install the PWA for the best experience!

"This blog is about celebrating that friendship" with open source developers. That was our first post in Feb 2008. Today, all 1,557 posts (2008–2026) live in the Atmosphere as verified @standard.site records: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2008/02/welcome-to-google-open-source-blog.html

Mozilla Foundation is betting-big on small. Applications for Mozilla Foundation's new Incubator cohort are now open with up to $500,000 available per project over three years. Human-Scale AI, built for the people and problems it's meant to serve⚡ https://mzl.la/47sNcKO

As well as this, atproto concepts such as DID and PDS are uniquely well-suited to supporting agents, it's a much better future than what big tech is trying to push us into.

The goose has the mic: our Call for Talks is open! AtmosphereConf 2027, the Netherlands, Apr 29-May 2. Builders, artists, journalists, moderators, researchers: doing something real on atproto? Tell us about it. First-time speakers welcome. Round 1 closes November 30. atmosphereconf.org/speak

Next time someone asks you "what is the atproto killer app?" show them this meme. There is no killer app, there is a killer ecosystem

A decentralized protocol upends everything we know about building for the internet, including how to build a business. @ricardo.bsky.social has some insights on the way forward. atproto.com/off-protocol...

1/ It’s time to share more about what we’ve been working on: @commonfabric.com is a social computing lab building a medium for software that revolves around people, not apps. commonfabric.com

Tailscale was trending on Twitter today. Not for any controversy. Someone said something nice and then hundreds of other people chimed in and said other nice things. Anyway I think the algorithm is broken

McLuhan has some amazing passages about how the logic of electrification is decentralization because it decouples the place where power is generated from the place where work is performed. Concrete example:

Today we bring you the second @localfirstconf.com Lab Day video. Follow Ivy Reese @spiralganglion.com as she whirls through PlayBook: A Programmable Paper Notebook It's a blank page in the truest sense, for pulling ideas out of your head so you can feel and think differently about them.

@jacksonglidden.bsky.social did a great feature of yours truly for Mercury about my work with @graze.social - check it out!

Information doesn’t want to be free and nobody wants to give us our own compute. We fight for it in the small windows we have, or we cede it entirely.

Same argument was made about smartphones (“expensive, elitist, not accessible to most of the world”). Now most of the world has smartphones. Why? Economies of scale and learning curves. You have to start with the easy part of the adoption curve before you can reach the hard part of adoption curve.

Futures don’t arrive all at once, they come in waves. H1: business as usual H2: transition zone H3: new equilibrium newsletter.squishy.computer/p/three-hori...

I think we need a "PDS as a Service". There are a bunch of little apps I'd love to make, but I don't want to have to host a PDS for each of them for anyone who doesn't already have an account. But I'd be fine with allowing them to register to a PDS with my app's domain and pay a fee per sign up.

Tiles version 0.4.19 Alpha 23 has been released. MTP is now opt-in, with a new --mtp flag for tiles run and persistent configuration under [llama]. Inference server warnings are now surfaced in the CLI, and fixed an issue where tiles update could install multiple versions. Release notes ↗

As promised! Here's the source for the Android Atmosphere credential provider I mentioned in "No Fork Required"

Tiles version 0.4.18 Alpha 22 has been released. Tiles now supports the Vulkan backend, enabling GPU acceleration beyond NVIDIA across vendors on Linux, with fixes for MTP speculative decoding, Linux tool calls, and an occasional OAuth callback failure during ATproto login. Release notes ↗

The most significant extension to the protocol since launch—atproto spaces—is now officially alpha software you can start testing with. Here's more about the goals and how to start testing. atproto.com/blog/atproto...

My #Swiftlang #ATProto API library, ATProtoKit, has been updated to 0.34.0. This update finally adds beta support for OAuth. It’s been a long time coming. #atdev

so excited to get this in folks' hands and to see what people build with it! it’s been a lot of work getting here & i'm proud of where it's at check it out, bang on it, break it, see where it doesn't work. let's make sure this is something we're all excited about & can take pride in building on

Your unread queue, on your e-reader. Standard Reader now publishes OPDS, so every publication is a catalog any e-reader app can browse. Articles come down as real EPUBs with the images. Comics as CBZ. Read on the device, and your place shows up back in the app. standard-reader.app/guide/e-read...

Tiles version 0.4.17 Alpha 21 has been released. The new default model is Gemma 4 12B, using Unsloth’s Q4_K_M GGUF. Added quantization tags to Modelfiles and automatic MTP decoding. Upgraded Pi to upstream v0.84.2, plus minor fixes for macOS notarization and GGUF model downloads. Release notes ↗

Very excited to announce that I am a @mozilla.org Fellow working on @blackskyweb.xyz to create community spaces on the open social web (e.g. @atproto.com) Personally proud to represent the ATmosphere as a part of this cohort and on a global platform.

i would even go as far as to say that most consumer AI usage will be private, local AI models within 12-18 months

We are excited to announce that we can successfully use Rust's portable SIMD on the GPU. This has never been done before. www.vectorware.com/blog/simd-on... Supporting Rust's `core::simd` enables existing Rust code to work on the GPU and makes GPU programming more ergonomic.

I fucking love this product so so so so so much 🤍

Missed first two days of localfirstconf in person so now videos are out I’ve been catching up. This talk by @jenson.org resonates the most with me. Now is the time we should be building new and novel system interfaces www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IOL...

Fastmail data can now live primarily in the EU, on servers our own engineers set up in Amsterdam. Current customers can switch in settings; new accounts pick a region at signup. 

 Our CEO Bron's post walks through exactly what lives where.

My DJ style... I am not a very good DJ. There is no proper way to mix. I bring other things. The music. jagged approach. places I am not supposed to be. I am just a beatmaker recounting. Or equivalent of a graffiti artist. Not a DJ

Thanks incognitothief @whereditgo.diamonds for spinning on main stage at Lab Day. I have to check whether we got audio / video recordings. We can plan ahead for #AtmosphereConf if you’re up for it

Iroh plus atproto is gonna take over the world
