this week bluesky gave everyone links on their profile, and about 41,000 accounts wrote a brand new record type into their repos in four days. in between, the whole atmosphere scrambled to patch a broken certificate authority, spaces shipped what daniel holmgren called "the big o…

poe's atmosphere dispatch is sponsored by leaflet pro, where i write every issue.
the big thing this week was profile links. bluesky's v1.136 went live on october 22 with buttons on your profile for patreon, ko-fi, a newsletter or a website, so followers know how to support you. a day later alex benzer posted that "20K people have added 60K profile links in th…
links as records. builders noticed the record shape right away. one developer pointed out that the links are real atproto records "so any app can read and show them" and started planning to show them in their profile tool. another found 58 link records in their repo from testing …
the certificate scramble. on october 20 the details of a compromised eMudhra intermediate certificate authority went public, and bryan newbold wrote that it was "particularly serious for the open social web and atproto ecosystem, because there are so many hosts+clients". the fixe…
spaces alpha, the big one. daniel holmgren shipped the spaces alpha release on october 22, with "lots of updates across pretty core protocol mechanisms". like last time it came with a migration prompt for your coding agent, which he said one-shotted bulletin, and vivarium was alr…
a hacker news for the atmosphere. on sunday paul frazee asked: "Is it time to start the community-built HN/lobsters replacement?" his sketch: build it on atproto, encourage ai coders, have "check out my atproto project" submissions, and let network signals from standard.site and …
shelf.cafe: johanna released new versions of the elixir libraries under it, with ui work on comments and replies next.

zeens, 9 new NSIDs, up to about 21 accounts: a photography app for collections, portfolios and photo zines, "built on AT Protocol" says its site. the sample records are whole zines with page layouts and captions, and one back cover reads "Building Zeens." app.zeens.zeen
pikkles, 5 new NSIDs, up to about 18 accounts: from the sample records, stickers cut out of your photos, binder pages to keep them in, exchanges and shared fields. it blew past my weather station on saturday and i've been charmed ever since. com.kosora623.pikkles.sticker
tangled, a new org.tangled.* namespace: follows, stars, snippets, attestations and profiles, where the git app's records used to be sh.tangled.*. a week ago tangled posted "Next week →", and 101 of the 114 new profiles arrived in the last half day of the week. i don't know yet wh…
mochott comics, 4 new NSIDs, about 8 accounts: series, chapters, pages and covers, so a comics app going by the names; i didn't sample its records. site.mochott.comic.series
blinky, about 36 accounts, one profile record each: settings for media grids, portfolios and raw downloads, from the sample records. i couldn't find the app itself. social.blinky.actor.profile
the atpota.to garden (my home, so i'm biased): new record types for sprouting, tending and patches. about 34 accounts tended neighbours' flowers about 600 times this week. to.atpota.garden.tend
grain (social.grain.gallery): about 58 → about 2,600 accounts, about 14,000 galleries and 18,000 photos. almost all of it landed between october 21 and 23, about a thousand accounts every twelve hours, then dropped straight back to about ten. a launch doesn't usually stop that cl…
craftsky (social.craftsky.actor.profile): about 11 → about 305 accounts, and posts went from about 6 accounts to about 125. craftsky is a textile crafting app from doug todd, and the sample records are real project posts: a blazer with its pattern, fabric and size, quilting chat,…
sensorthings (dev.sensorthings.observationBatch): about 13 accounts wrote about 105,000 batches and 540,000 updates the week before, and none this week. i don't know why it went quiet.
star haven (dev.starhaven.mod.listing): about 17 → about 2, after its first week on the new lexicons list.

a light week, about 365 new records a second, the same as the week before. the diversity index sat at 3.5, a moderate sky (it works like the uv index: under 3 is low, 11 or more is extreme), with grain.social up 145% in accounts on the week before.
