just a theory, but as atproto matures, there are now other example projects using the protocol for other things besides "distributed twitter clone". for example, tangled was talked about yesterday. [1]
and that probably came up because more people are wondering about the future of github as it becomes more integrated into microsoft. as things become more centralized, interest in decentralization goes up.
To give you an example, https://slices-teal-relay.bigmoves.deno.net/ is a demo of Slices showing the latest teal.fm records (like Last.fm scrobbles). The thing is, teal.fm is not even launched as an app. It's just its developers already listen to music through it, the records get created in their repos, and so any other developer can aggregate their records and display them.
It's a web of realtime hyperlinked JSON created by different apps. That's exciting.
I wonder if one could perhaps create an RSS reader app by piggybacking on ATProto purely for broadcasting change events, with the feed themselves still located at their traditional address? Basically reviving Google Reader on ATProto infra.
thank you for sharing these links, if it isn't too much to ask, could you or someone reading this compile a list of useful / interesting ATproto endpoints for HN?
