There's An @pp For That

the process

I've been thinking about how to communicate to the broader public about the good news of the AT Protocol. One great way to make something new understandable is to liken it to something else they know. Everybody remembers the App Store campaign. Well, maybe not Roscoe...

I want people to understand that the ATmosphere is more than Bluesky. More than microblogging. It's longform. It's video. It's recipes. It's film reviews. It's events. It's communities. It's all just public data that you control.

An hour or so of home screen crafting and Affinity Photoing and, tada!

the links

Since that post went live, I've gotten several requests for a list of links to all the stuff on that home screen. Here it is!
