Beacon Bits

Writing up a new release thread that includes our most requested feature… 👀

New world layer incoming...

I wrote a short piece on the ATProto services that I am using and/or have inspired me to start hacking away at the protocol – come in and try to find something you like!

Revamped @beaconbits.app flow is GREAT. It’s fast and makes whatever you want optional to be optional.

Happy to report we're almost wrapped on an importer for various check-in/map services. Main ones will be: - Swarm/Foursquare - Google Maps/Timeline - Yelp - Day One - GeoJSON Anything else we should add?

Time to bring multiplayer brick building to the atmosphere. Brickster is now available for everyone to try! Supports 12 player multiplayer, saving creations to your atproto account and exploring with @rpg.actor sprites. brickster.at #gamedev #atdev

Any BB users going on a flight soon and wanna help us test something? 👀

@montoulieu.dev any documentation or advice on creating @beaconbits.app check-ins from an atmospheric ticket scan? 👀

Foursquare just pushed out a UI redesign and I think it's now officially cooked 😢 After 15 years of consistently using it, I think I will be turning my attention to @beaconbits.app. Fortunately I've built an import tool in @passports.social. I'm afraid to flood the firehouse with 10k+ posts 😅

Eu duvido que só tenha eu no Brasil aqui no biska que gosta de fazer check-in nos lugares legais que visita

New use for @semble.so connections - link book to the bookshop where you found it ↔️ Some day we'll have @beaconbits.app interop so integrated physical and intellectual journeys can be shared on protocol 🤓

📍 Wasabi Restaurant · Lakewood, Colorado, US ☁️ 77°F Wasabi bombs and testing the new weather feature in @beaconbits.app w/ @cyanne.codes https://beaconbits.app/beacon/e5zplwgiznavptdxhx5n2zlp/3mmx6s3zpak2o #BeaconBits

Get ready for a new way to see beacons across the globe. Our next update will add clickable POI markers and a new 3D map experience. Stay tuned for more info this week 📡

The latest build of Beacon Bits is live! We’ve rolled out performance improvements, bug fixes and a new guide feature that allows you to share walking guides. Some other exciting things are in the works, so stay tuned. 📡

🧵 BeaconBits, by @beaconbits.app All the check-ins made on beaconbits.app bsky.app/profile/did:...

I made it to the little German village where my people are from.

Just a heads up that Beacon Bits now uses granular permission scopes and permission sets for sign-in. More updates coming soon 🤙

10 minutes ⏰

🌸 The anomaly has bloomed further overnight into a fractal structure. We’re estimating it will hit critical mass at around 2:45 PM PST. Start the clock ⏰ #atproto #ATmosphereConf

⚠️ After some downtime… we’re back up. All relay beacons from today have awakened the anomaly, causing it to bloom. A kaleidoscope of butterflies has also joined and begun flying around the core. What will the final day of #ATmosphereConf bring?

⚠️ Energy is off the charts at #ATmosphereConf and the anomaly has now begun to bloom. An aurora also appears to be forming over the UBC campus. What awaits us when we hit full signal lock?

Ok we might need to organize groups, I suggest we jump into the Roomy chat dedicated to the anomaly and create a bunch of threads for each station #AtmosphereConf

⚠️ The AMS Nest station is officially at full signal lock. The rest of the relay stations need your beacons to make the echo anomaly bloom. With your continued assistance #ATmosphereConf, hopefully we can discover the nature of this anomaly…

⚠️ Relay stations at UBC have been activated. Our first signal boosts are coming through and we’re beginning to see the anomaly react. Stay tuned for more updates as #ATmosphereConf begins.

So excited for the Atmosphere to intersect with physical space next week at @atmosphereconf.org

Pieter @montoulieu.dev isn't giving a talk at this year's conference, but he's working on rolling out a fun atproto linked game with @beaconbits.app: an anomaly is forming over the UBC venue in Vancouver! Follow the app (and login and press the anomaly scanner button in app) to find out more

From logging real world venues with @beaconbits.app to an in-progress cyberpunk desktop OS @aetheros.computer , Pieter @montoulieu.dev is an atproto developer who is joining us at #atmosphereconf this year

📡 Anomaly Update 003 For the last 48 hours, the relay station atop AMS Nest has been analyzing a high frequency signal emanating from the anomaly. Today this signal abruptly synchronized and revealed a message. Standby for further instructions...

Another quick update, but @blackskyweb.xyz users will now see "View on Blacksky" and "Post To Blacksky" throughout the app. Did some debug testing on this locally, but would love some help to confirm all is working properly on the live app. ✌️

BeaconBitsにアノマリーが出現。30日後のエミッション（ATmosphereConf）が原因でしょう。貴重なアーティファクトが見つかるかも（何か違う） https://www.beaconbits.app/map
