Ideas
Unrelated #atproto / bsky idea: what if people could PING and GET NOTIFICATIONS FROM labeler labels? Like I could @stemlabels.xyz science communicators (somehow, UI and stuff idk) and those subscribed for notifs would get one for that post.
midnight atproto idea: let us record our name / handle pronunciation so client apps can include them valid for all apps but esp @protopro.blue
Just include the ability for people to record how to say their names! It will be helpful for EVERYONE AT THE CON!
i’m sickly and uncomfy but bsky bot/service idea just dropped: - total number of typos per user - typos as % of posts - number of typos they bothered correcting out of total yes this is because I just made a post w a typo and couldn’t be arsed to repost
here’s your daily morning atproto idea: bluesky bot that responds to FAQs about Bluesky / moderation / PDSs / atproto / etc.
this would also work for atproto app suggestions:
new idea just dropped in my brain: feed recommendations based on • your social network (following and who they follow) • your saved / pinned feeds • your likes you’re welcome @bsky.app @internet.bsky.social
has anyone made a good library for bsky custom feeds yet? it would be cool to integrate that with a custom hosting provider so you could just upload a small rust program and immediately get a custom feed from it.
OKAY WAIT HOLD UP what about discord meets canny but on atproto? discord = community chat, helping, announcements. canny = better bug and feature request tracking, clearer timelines. if i were an #atdev i’d build it tbh but alas i’m busy gettin a phd sry
you know what? we don’t just need bookmarks on the atprotocol we need a “save to read later” feature too. sometimes i wanna just read a bunch of short skeets, other times i have the energy to read them threads and links and photos and leaflets but i’m not gonna do it if it’s not easy to save /lazy
happy sunday here's some @leaflet.pub ideas popping into my head today while doing some atproto work: - tables as a block type - docs with the ability for anyone with link ADD content but not remove it! this could be a neat way for large community collab by e.g. adding just a few lines
ok who out there has made / is working on / wants to work on - #stealmyidea & propose to @graze.social - it easier to connect with people from other social media apps over here on @bsky.app / @atproto.com? cuz i just realized @personalfinanceclub.com has been here + posting regularly for 3 months
Ideas from Others
yeah the actual doing is pretty straightforward but the degree to which you have to understand The Protocol is still fairly significant- would be nice to have a ‘so I got suspended, how do I save my stuff…’ guide

Marks company can do some amazing pricing on generic drugs. I am on Medicare and have a supplemental policy. There are some medication I take that are cheaper through his company than my copayment. If you are on a fixed income or not I recommend you shop prices on all medications.
asks site on atproto called askproto. is this anything
I want sticker packs for social media, for the same reason I want sticker packs in my group chats. Bonus points: * compatible with some open format (see signalstickers.org) * remembers alt text, and reuses canonical url * hosted as a well known route in my PDS for all apps to access???
i would love if there was an ATProto client that had a visual and interactive map of data like this there would be more ways to explore content/data than our normal expectation of scrolling a single column of posts
oh yeah i like this
need to write a bluesky thread tree visualizer to understand just how insane the garage door aka hacked smart home thread is i feel like it’s at like >500 child threads now for sure
Thoughts
been thinking why there isn’t more movement on atproto reddit alts and i just had a wild thought maybe some of it is: - people like to be anonymous on reddit - even people who are otherwise not anon on other socials - atproto = shared identity private accounts / data doesn’t fixed that but what if
me: i should learn front end web dev so i can help make atproto apps prettier and join art x code interests my other hobbies: not again my body: do you hate us me: but i wanna
reason 356892 why companies and apps should use creative names instead of things you can find in a dictionary: easier to find mentions of said company across social media this is in response to trying to make feeds. thank you for your attention. #atproto @obsidian.md @notion.com @sprk.so and more
Questions
ELIS5 #atproto folks: i have a shitty half-baked website (SPA; whatever that means i forget, i know what the acronym stands for tho) on github. is this something i can do on tangled now or another way on atproto and how inexperienced can i be to make it happen girl can code but like, for science.
#atproto questions I’ve had that became more relevant with the recent UK ID news: 1. How expensive is it to host a PDS? How does that scale with # of users/amount of content? Also, is it correct to assume the owner is liable for moderation? 2. How does cost of hosting PDS vs fedi instance compare?
