what is Semble?

Social bookmarking as first app by the @cosmik.network team - waitlist here semble.so

Genuinely, I wish it was called something else, something a bit more... consumer-friendly? I always found "Nostr" quite friendly, despite the protocol being a minefield. It's (annoyingly) still nicer to say "Login with Bluesky" instead of "Login with ATProto".

"sign in with your ATmosphere account" seems a little better.

I am deferring comment on off-the-cuff naming and branding. This needs real research of a wider group of people who aren't early adopters, and @christian.bsky.social is taking some of this on discourse.atprotocol.community/t/research-p...

I don’t think any of these things are consumer friendly by name or nature. IMAP???? There will need to be some concerted efforts at common login widgets and UX / design / branding.

It's more to the fact ATProto is supposed be at the forefront, and is ideally what we'd like people to refer to this as (instead of Bluesky), so a name like "ATProto" is a bit... clinical.

Can you show others?

The rest* I promise I sometimes like English lol

They are in the alt text on the image. There are more, like @smokesignal.events that don’t really lend themselves to “apps” or @grain.social that is used for photo uploads.

hey @bmann.ca if we didn't hear back yet on our ATMosphere proposals should we assume they are not accepted? LinkedTrust team did one on a lexicon for claims and attestations ; i did one for atproto is kafka I may prepare different ways if accepted or not - do we know? thx!

We are processing the very long list now and will do rolling reject / accept. There will also be self directed unconf spaces we are keeping open.

If you want to go a bit deeper into how ATProto supports building apps like this, read @danabra.mov’s latest overreacted.io/open-social/
