the general bsky userbase being a lil dismissive of the standard.site integration is a reminder that this whole atproto atmosphere ecosystem is a long game. not everyone will be on board, and that's ok! we'll be ready to welcome people into a decentralized social future as big social fades away :)

Gonna be honest, Im not dismissive, but I dont totally get it. The announcement makes it look like auto generated og cards but I already have og cards. The website talks about lexicons leaving someone out of the know completely lost. I think there’s a better marketing opportunity to sell the benefit

For sure. Communications need to be targeted to readers and writers, not just devs. The new enhanced card helps people discover your whole blog whenever you publish a new blog post. It works with a shared language for defining publications that can work with any website or blog.

This post right here, I think does a better job explaining the value than most I’ve seen.

Vale@vale.rocks

I went and set up some swanky @standard.site stuff with Vale.Rocks' long-form posts today. Just look at that rich embed! I see it has been picked up by @sifa.id and shows my posts on my profile there. That's the power of the AT Protocol right there, folks! vale.rocks/posts/the-im...

However, even as a dev (only tangentially aware of some ATProto capabilities), I find the docs confusing and lacking. I’ll give a couple examples (not to be dismissive, but rather highlight some areas for opportunities that could help myself and others).

This is the second step of the quick start. I assume this is something on need to create on ATProto, but that’s only an assumption. And even if the assumption is correct, I have no idea how or where to put that block of json.

Second example (and maybe I missed it in docs), but how does this work? I set everything up and then magic? Do I need to use other ATProto apps and they magically know to hit a well-known endpoint at my site? Or is there an additional step where I need to make them aware?
