Had an absolutely *wonderful* time chatting with my old friend @jimray.bsky.team about uncertainty: how to plan for it, how to design for it, and—especially when struggling with it at work—how to repair it.

What does it mean to design for uncertainty? Coiner of the phrase “responsive web design” @ethanmarcotte.com joined Off Protocol with some thoughts. atproto.com/off-protocol...

We will still have a meetup with speakers and food. New details are being sorted and we will share with you a new event when those are locked down. Thanks for your understanding.

We get to pick who's services we used based on the FEATURES and EXPERIENCE they provide, not based on what CONTENT or RELATIONSHIPS they have locked behind their gates.

I've been wanting to do a proper meetup with a venue and food and demos for months, ever since we started @atproto.boston in November of 2025. Now it's happening! See you there.

I migrated my self-hosted, self-maintained @standard.site blog over to @leaflet.pub! It was a journey, so I thought I'd share with you how I did it in case you ever want to do the same, or are in the mood to be nerd-sniped into building a migrator. I also explain why I landed on Leaflet...for now.

Excited to be going to the Boston At Proto meetup in 2 days, and I think I'll have something to share.

Our community is about two simple ideas 1. The internet should serve people, not platforms. 2. We have the tools to build that internet today. We're gathering and building on the Atmosphere because it provides a pragmatic pathway to a public interest internet.

There's nothing quite like a community of local developers for coming up with ideas and keeping everyone inspired. So we've created a starter pack for local meetups of the AT proto community. We've probably missed some, so let us know. go.bsky.app/KcTq2US

This is a crucial step in self sovereign communication between government and constituents. Bluesky and the rest of the Atmosphere is built on open, public distribution, rather than a platform with power over its users.

Where is this event taking place? The answer lies with an age old question... @samreich.bsky.social, where you from?

ATProto Boston@atproto.boston

Do you like coding and music? We're going to @codeforboston.bsky.social TOMRROW to hack together on Porchfest using @atproto.com. Bring your laptop and your ideas!
