Chess on the ATmosphere reposted

wrote up some of my thoughts on the potential of AT Proto / ATmosphere apps after building a chess app fully on protocol. feeling bullish on niche/long-tail apps that couldn't have existed before this :)

notes.hadsie.comWhat my chess app taught me about the future of multi-user softwareI was skeptical that AT Proto was anything more than Bluesky-with-extra-steps, learnt how much potential the protocol has after building a multiplayer chess app, entirely client side and "on protocol". The real value is that apps become different views into the same data.
